the raw power the awd has! i dont know if the fact that i have awd is my fav, or the mean sound this tiny little engine can make with an intake and a high flow muffler.a lot of people see my banner across my windshield and ask if my car really does have AWD, which is sad that you have to ask that.

The ride for that car, gas mileage, low costs in owning one and utility... Basically the entire car that is why we bought it. If I ever want lift, I drive my Vette... V8's will give you lift!

My favorite part is the claw cup holders that flip out between the front seats .... *cricket, cricket*

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 10:21 am

Many things I love about my car... But man, those red gauges are just cool. And I really like the rest of the red backlighting as well. I love driving this thing at night, much more than I do during the day, actually!There's much more to list, but I'll stop there.

nismo · Post by **nismo** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 10:28 am

I'm not really a big fan of the 03 gauges. That is one reason I have an 04. I love those gauges, epecially at night

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 10:49 am

It is kinda an OD on red for some folks, I'll agree. Had one person tell me she doesn't know how I can stand it, if she had to look at all that red all the time it would make her angry. lol

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 10:58 am

i would love some white racing guages though. i will admit the red on black is kinda tough to see at night. plus i'm kinda blind, so that doesn't help much!

When i get my master's, my gift to myself will be a Lingenfelter 427 twin turbo vette. Already got the color picked out and everything.I like every part of the Vibe except the power. The look, the rareness around here, the versitility, the gauges (although i think some black on white gauges with those red needles would be ultra-cool).....just about everything.

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:04 pm

These are my favorite parts. I can't narrow it down to just one.1. Moonroof - even though I also own a convertible, I really enjoy the versatility of the 'roof.2. '03 gauge cluster. I love the way the red needles light up before the backlighting on the gauges. It's neat to turn the backlighting all the way off at night. It's also interesting to see the green 'circle' at night--caused by reflection of the turn signal lamp inide the middle pod of the cluster at night.3. Gas mileage.

nismo · Post by **nismo** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:28 pm

I think everyone on the forums would agree with you about the gas mileage. Honestly, if I didn't beat as much. I would get 30 somethin.Inder

nismo · Post by **nismo** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:44 pm

if i go above 3500 RPM's, that jus kills my gas mileageInder

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Wed Sep 15, 2004 4:32 am

Gotta love lift! Also the space is great. Gas mileage is primo too although I have to spend a little more for premium.

nismo · Post by **nismo** » Wed Sep 15, 2004 5:02 am

Honestly. If you put in regular(i know you can't) instead of premium. You'll prolly save about 2 bucks. That's not really much. Most people on the forums make that much in like 15 minutes, but I am an exception. I still put premium/midgrade in mine.Inder

That will be one bad ride! Good luck with your masters! Will the 427 be red n color? I agree with your likes as well. John Lingenfelter - RIP. He will be missed.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Wed Sep 15, 2004 10:14 pm

Found a few things that I'm missing terribly right now... Those very comfortable seats, and the interior with all that wide open space. And being able to see is a bonus too. lolThe dealer was kind enough to loan me an '04 Grand Am for the next day or so while they work on the Vibe. Nice car, it certainly gets out there and moves... But the interior feels cramped, I can't get comfortable at all in the driver's seat, and I can't see out of it. Missing my Vibe!

Favorite part: the 6-speed manual transmission.I love the feel of the leather in my hand as I row through the gears.

GMJAP · Post by **GMJAP** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:21 am

My fav part is that I got an incredible car - mileage, space, comforts, 5 star crash tests, latest safety tech, reliability, cool features (tire pressure monitor, hatchback glass, outside temp, 3 flat-folding seats, cabin air filter), decent exterior/interior for, really, an amazingly good price!Shoot, it's even a couple seconds faster than my previous car ('91 Geo Storm).My other fav part is that it's a pretty fun commuter car, comfortable family car, and decent cargo hauler in one.

nismo · Post by **nismo** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:46 am

This car is great for long trips. I took it to the east coast, most fun I ever had in this car besides racing once in a while.inder

LadyGT · Post by **LadyGT** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 7:42 pm

I would have to say the my favorite part is the power from the 6-speed. You just knock it down into 4th gear and take off. Achieving 80mph in 4th is no problem and the way my Vibe handles at high speeds is awesome!!!

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Vibe, Michelle!You're one of just 3 Mississippians who've joined GenVibe!My favorite part of Vibe ownership has become GenVibe.com!Per my September post, I still REALLY like the '03 'blackout' gauge cluster though.

Turbo5Speed · Post by **Turbo5Speed** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 10:38 am

The favorite part of the Vibe? I believe it would have to be the huge surge of power from around 4000 RPM's.

zionzr2 · Post by **zionzr2** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:16 am

Favorite: AWDUNFAVORITE: Self-Ejecting under console hidden storage bin.

Turbo5Speed · Post by **Turbo5Speed** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 6:00 am

If you use double-sided tape (3M or similar) or velcro, or a number of things, you can fix the self-ejecting console.You could also install a gigantic padlock on it.
