Thanks to you all, we managed to get the stuff out. Boy, do we feel dumb. But seriously, this forum is one of the finest I've ever had the privilege of joining. Thanks again, G-d bless, and happy Vibing to all!

Hi Vibers & Vibettes,Hope you can help me with a couple of issues we're having with the cargo area in our silver '09 Vibe... see photo below (which I grabbed from Google images and edited with arrows):http://i.imgur.com/PItpU.jpgThe small upper arrow points to a little plastic "plug" j...

Ours had a tiny 2mm paint nick on one door edge. Dealer promised some touch-up paint. The spot looked rusted to me and I asked them if it needed any prep before touching up and they said no, just to use a cardboard matchstick and touch it up with no prep at all. Does that seem right?

We also got a pre-price-increase model. We were able to track them down online.

Great news. We lost 3 in the first week of ownership.

Thanks, will send pics as soon as I get a chance. We got a fully-loaded AWD for around $6000 less than what we paid for our fairly-loaded '99 Forester S about 11 years ago. Our deal was a combination of GMS (disloyalty discount thanks to Forester), $2000 GM-owner incentive (loyalty discount thanks t...

Michael! How did you know??? Not only are you The GMS Guru®... you're clairvoyant! ;-)Thanks again... you rock!!!

Thanks, vibolista!You were sooooo right! Tonight we finally found the dealer, the deal, and a drove home a Good Vibe!

Quick question - some of the Vibes we're finding are equipped with larger 17" wheels (which are expensive). Is there any advantage to them - are they safer? Do they save gas (fewer wheel revolutions to get from point A to point B)?

Thank you all for the warm welcome and your very informative replies. Yes, the 99 Subie was paid for (back when we had more money)... we were just hoping we could eke out some more miles before it met its untimely (for us) end.I'd appreciate some input on our experiences so far at more than one Pont...

After almost 164K miles, our beloved '99 Forester just gave its life to save my husband's in a pretty serious accident. Thank G-d he is OK but needs another car ASAP. We looked at the new Foresters but - Alas! - Subaru has morphed our lovable little AWD wagon into... into an SUV! He doesn't want to ...
