I think some of these options are for 05 and up, not sure.But I was just wondering how many people have these options that I think are few and far between. I have none of these on my 06.
I wanted to add a "none" selection but I can't seem to edit the poll. I'll just assume those who looked and did not vote don't have any of these options
i have theft deterrent and side airbags. mp3 wasn't available in april '02 of course, with AWD, i also don't have stabilitrack.i think the only options i don't have that were available at the time are monotone, navigation, and cd changer. (none of which i would have wanted anyway)

Side air bags and stabilitrak, pfft! The dealers here make it a point that you're sorely out of luck if you're wanting that stuff and you're the impulse buyer and/or the type who enjoys instant gratification......because they don't stock Vibes with ABS, side air bags, Stabilitrak, etc. I guess they think if you're "stupid" enough to waste money on frivolous items like that, then you should have no problems waiting for the car since they would have to order it. Back in the day, they never had nav either, probably the same holds true now for mp3. Never ran across one with the alarm. And I've spent lots of time hanging out at the dealer, so I would be one to know the history of their inventory. lol!Hope you like automatic base models with moon & tunes, otherwise you be orderin' that thing around here!

My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.
AWD does not diminish the need for Stabilitrack. Stabilitrack helps correct sidways skids like when being pushed to hard in a turn. AWD does diminish the need for Traction Control which comes with Stabilitrack.
One way to cause a sideways skid is to cut the wheel a little sharp on a slick road, like if you try to avoid a pothole. I have Stabilitrac on both my Vibe and AWD RX300 (called VSC on Toyota products). I tested both on a slick parking lot and the Stabiltrac does a nice job with putting the car back on track.
I have the GPS system in mine but they gave it to me for free because the steering wheel was messed up when I got it so they gave it to me for the my trouble hahaha its awesome though I like it 6 cd changer its just kick (removed) i like it as for the mp3 thing it could read them so that was a huge downer
I have an 03 GT that has the side airbags and theft deterrent. I have no clue if it has stabilitrak or not, is there a way to find out?I would love to have the MP3 option but would definitely not trade the 6 disc in-dash changer for a single disc to get it.
StabilTrac comes bundled with Traction Control. So if you have a Trac Off button you have StabilTrac. It is only available on base automatic, so it's not on the GT.
I have the Theft Deterrent system, but I had no choice for the others since my vibe was "previously enjoyed" . If I did have a choice I would have chosen the Side Airbags and ABS too.For those of you with ABS, do you ever feel them kicking in during the Winter months? I slid into a few intersections last season and wondered how big of a difference ABS would have made.
