LaterChrisA lot of Vibe/Matrix owners have changed them to Hella horns or other such replacements due to the sound the stock horn produces. Welcome to the site!

I'm sure there are exceptions, but for the most part, the cheeseball roadrunner horn seems to be common for foreign manufacturers to use. At least it seems common to me. If the Vibe were a GM product and not some Toyota, it would have a GM-style horn setup...

I like the horn it has. Its unique and fun. Though if you want, my friend bought a dual tone electronic air horn for his civic and boy let mme tell you, people get the hell outa your way when they hear that thing.
