Thanks guys, all I can say is what a ride. I'm impressed in most every facet. The ride is great, I went on a about a 35 mile trip this afternoon and my back felt better than when I left. Usually afer an hour or so in a car I stiffen up. The power is great, I heard somthing about not going over 4, 000 rpm during break in. I thought that it would be sluggish under 4k, but I can drive very normaly doing so. The headlights are great, on dim and on brights (seems like cars with halogen lighting systems usualy low beams are short and high beem is dark right in front of car and projects narrowly down the road. these are great, and I can tell that I turned the fog lights on (more than I can say for a lot of cars I've driven with factory fog lamps). Having some trouble adjusting to shift pattern. I' used to a five speed with high gear forward to the right and reverse to the right and back. I'll get the hang of it. Will try to get pictures soon.

Glad to hear you finally got your new Vibe and are enjoying it! Most cars do have rather weak fog lights. My Probe has factory fog lights that only take 27 watt bulbs... they light up about the first five feet infront of the car, after that they are out of power to extend further... of course nobody can see that close to the front of their car from inside! I imagine most factory fogs are low power units like this. All for show... little real benefit. Its good to hear they gave the Vibe some lights that actually work!Glad to hear you are enjoying your new Vibe so far!
