I want cup holders that are in a better position and the fuel tank release taken off of the floor. Adjustable seats that actually stay where they are adjusted and a telescoping steering wheel

Make the engine quieter...TOYOTA. I knew it was like this when I bought it. BUT it takes a while to get used to the moan at certain speeds like during acceleration. Also, stop the buzzes in the dash in the winter. This just shows poor assembly & design. GM nor Toyota has impressed me so far with this one. The best thing is solid handling for a tall car.

Yeah a telescoping steering wheel would be GREAT. And a taller armrest. Otherwise I am happy.

I haven't had my 2007 Vibe for very long and so far I am pleased with it very much. The main thing I would change on a new model, is to have the roof rack extend from front to back rather than having it short as is now. To improve on roof hauling, the bars should be level rather than sloping to the back.

Quote, originally posted by PhillyVibeGT » 2b. If we have an auto window "down" why not an auto "up"? You know, I was in a few Toyota's in Japan and all of them had Auto UP windows and / or Auto Close sunroofs.I believe there are just as many idiots in Japan as there are in the US that would / could Auto Close the widows on their fingers.The reason why not to have this option, i feel, is that of all these idiots, the ones from the US are more likly to sue.DISCLAIMER:This is just my opinion and it's probably not shared by GM or TMC

the main thing they need to change... make the front cup holders the same damn size EDIT: i'm sure that's been mentioned here before, but i'm too lazy to read through all 200+ posts

I might of posted in this thread but I love the car. Only things im complaining about now are the dash rattles, a-pillar rattle, i like the engine noise, but when cruising on the highway its fairly loud and hard to hear people on the phone head set or they cant hear me over the engine. OH also i want the base to have rear disc brakes, i hate drums.
