Post by isaaclud »

just picked up a (gunmetal?) grey BASE with the 5-speedmoon and tunes / and wheels. (not the 17"s that look like dubs...)I just took the fam to the park and fit a folded up running strollerin the back....with 2 little girls bikes....and 5 gallons of water....NOT BAD FOR A SMALL CAR!I like the thing alot, I dont like the BELT CHIME....AT ALL!I do like the roof rack, and I dont like that I DONT HAVE ABS!!all in all...I really like my vibePEACEISAAC

welcomeas long as the roads arent wet/damp and you dont break from 80 to 40 while goin around a slight turn you should b ok without the abs. abs would also help with breaking in the snow tooenjoy

i know what you mean about ABS. On the first test drive we took, had to slam the brakes hard and i noticed it didnt have ABS. Had to continue the search for a vibe with ABS without all the options. Took a while but they're out there

^ look, i disabled it using the ODO button holdin the D-I-Y forum, but I wear my seat belt.Thing is if the parent in the passenger seatwould need to turn around to fix the kids drinksor something like that which would necessitatethe quick (and temporary) removal of a car seatthen there would be no infernal buzzing....I'm a SEAT BELT WEARER, it actually makes mefeel somewhat racier....if I may be honesthaha
