Re: Just bought '09 AWD Vibe

Welcome aboard!! My 2010 AWD has been great in the snow. Just recently I 'broke some trail' on a little used dirt road and we probably could've gone further but the snow became too deep and the Vibe basically bottomed out so we had to reverse for a bit before finding a spot to turn around. I'd like ...

Welcome aboard!! I've got a 2010 AWD, I don't have many mods so I can't help a whole lot, but I'm sure poking around here should net you something.

Hi there and welcome aboard!!

I've also got a 2010 Vibe with the 2.4L, ultra white but in the AWD version. I absolutely love it and hands down has been the best vehicle I've owned.

I currently have a 2010 Vibe AWD and by far it has been one of the best vehicles I've owned.
