Bi just checked out that link again (performance.com), and it looks like their sale is over! sorry. if you still want to carry your bike(s) inside the car, going with another style of fork-mounted hitch will be fine also. nashbar.com has the type that mount in a truck bed (drill holes into the bed a...

great choice of words, triton! thanks for speaking on behalf of vibe owners! ......did they really not ask any questions about the aztek?

brian, just remember, whichever vibe model you end up getting-be prepared for all the girls who will be oohing over your "cuuuuuuuute car!" (well, at least, that's what i think everytime i see my vibe, or others' (which is rare in these parts). ) on behalf of the women out there who don't ...

update on my interior bike rack:don't do what i did in the post above...too much trouble! the much easier way is to go with what m4VibeGT suggested- get 2 truck shuttle "pods" ($5.99 ea) from rhode gear. (the link above shows the truck shuttle with the fork mounted racks, the racks are off...

curious if anyone has had their interior replaced with leather. i've contacted the seller (james with Attention To Detail at attention@snet.net; address from the matrixvibe.net) with my zip code for a list of installers, but haven't moved forward with finding installation prices yet. he replied with...

i used it recently to write some last minute thank-you cards. since i wasn't prepared, i had to write directly on the semi-bumpy surface of the seatback. the seat folds down well after some adjustments (seatback upright before folding-so one has to reach across the passenger's seat to the lever on t...

when i picked up my vibe, the salesman pulled the cover out from the storage area behind the back seats and mentioned that he was able to get the "better" cargo cover that was not as flimsy as the standard (i guess) covers, and that because of the reinforcing "ribs" (for lack of ...

i know i'm late, but i can't stop laughing (sorry, silver)! is there finally a use for boogers?! like as a "Second Time Around" car cleaning product? i'm not trying to give you a hard time, but what would the perfect booger (for paint removal) be made of? (this isn't the most palatable sub...

justin,oh no...sorry to hear about the accident!! good thing you had a shovel nearby to excavate your vibe and get home. i can only imagine how your heart must have sunk while you assessed the damages....but i'm glad no one was hurt. hopefully, the repairs will be finished soon and the weather will ...

in that specific situation (wet and cold outside), it seemed like the windows defogged faster with the recirculate on. i actually only tried it after having read on some thread here that recirculate ON would defog more effectively. the fogging and the air moisture scenario do make sense. what are ot...

i was driving in the rain a few days ago, and couldn't get the back windows defogged. i had the defrost on high (hot air) with recirculated air. that worked well for clearing the windshield, and after some time, cleared the front side windows as well. however, even after 20 minutes, i still couldn't...

C so sorry to hear the news-but glad you're alright. would have been terrible if you had a seizure while driving...that would have definitely fit on the "worst thing that could happen to anyone" list! better to keep yourself (and your vibe!) whole and safe.in the meantime, i'd be happy to ...

welcome back! so, remind me...when were you going to take us along?

silver, not trying to complicate the thought exercise but this might help make things more clear: remember mathematically that MPG is miles/gallon. if, hypothetically, the AWD had a 13 gallon tank, we'd expect to travel a few more miles (compared to the distance traveled with an 11 gallon tank). to ...

vibey, welcome to genvibe! you've certainly come to the right place to learn more about the great and the (few) not-so-great things about the vibe (no bias here)! my two-month old frosty vibe has fortunately not emitted any rattling noises in the dashboard or elsewhere in the car. as for the blindsp...

i have a theory that other drivers are having so much fun driving their vibe that they don't care to look around and see what anyone else is driving anymore! either that, or they're too busy trying to read the gauges...

i know exactly what you're talking about, toasted! there are so few vibes in my area (got my vibe mid-dec, saw my first two vibes two days ago) that i get so excited when i see one...however, similar to your situation, the other driver doesn't even notice.... in contrast, those aztec drivers are see...

great pics, jethro! you've got some good eyes. btw, would that frosty monotone vibe in the background of pic3 be yours by chance?

i did what ma-vibe-fan suggested: went to http://www.edmunds.com and got the True Market Value (what others are paying) for a vibe with the options i wanted ("price with options" link). with this target price in mind, i sent emails to the Internet Sales Manager or the Fleet Manager (both d...

newbie here, de-lurking to say that my 3-week search for bike rack-related issues (ie. hitch- or roof-mount) ended with reading posts by csd22 and Nsimkins (thank you so much)! i celebrated my one-month anniversary as a vibe owner today by installing 1 fork mount bike hitch in each track of my frost...
