Happy New Vibe Owner

Post by chadds »

Just wanted to introduce myself as I am a new Vibe owner! I have been looking into getting a Vibe for a few months now and have just picked one up.It is a black '05 Vibe base with only 11k miles, auto transmission, monotone appearance package, 16" alloys, moonroof, power options package and Monsoon sound system. I only ended up paying $13,950 for it, which seemed like a pretty sweet deal to me. The car will be primarily my wifes, so I won't be doing TOO many mods, but I am already planning some slotted rotors and painted red calipers for the front, and possibly a Pioneer AVIC-N3 navigation system. So far I am very impressed with the car, it seems very well built and drives very nicely. We were originally planning on getting an AWD Vibe to replace our gas guzzling 5.9 V8 Durango, but since I got a decent deal on the FWD we just decided to keep our Durango as well for winter duty. After driving both AWD and FWD Vibes, I think I made the right descision, the FWD seems a bit quieter, and substantially peppier than the AWD version.
