I own a 2003 Vibe with a 1ZZ-FE engine with about 89,000 miles on it.A few months ago, the check engine light came on. The guy at my favorite garage said it was the P0420 code and he cleared it out for me, saying that sometimes the cold can make that code come up.A couple of weeks ago, the CEL came ...

Well, apparently, I must be a weakling because 2 mechanics test drove it today and they had no trouble.

Hi! I just got my Vibe yesterday! It's a 2003 with 77K miles... Salsa Dark Red. Love the horn! Love all the bells and whistles. I think it's going to be a fun car.I'm having the noise in the dashboard, too, but only when the air circulation button is not on. When it's on, the noise stops.So... I won...
