I got mine on March 28th. I just squeaked in on the Early turn-in GM was doing with their leases. I had less than 100 miles before I was over on my lease. Anyway, had one heck of a time finding the one I wanted becuase I had a strange combo in mind. I wanted ABS, Aluminum wheels, Power Package, Neptune w/o monochrome. The couldnt find it, so I ended up with a Satellite Monochrome, with what I wanted as well as the moons and tunes package. The payment isnt much higher, so I can say I am very happy with my Vibe.

My vibe finally arrived after a 16 week waiting period. It was worth the wait!

16 only! That might be the shortest wait ever for a canuck! I waited impatiently for 21 weeks. What model and options did you order?

HI,We took a Vibe on a test drive in May last year then decided to wait for awhile and see what else was on the market so we took a few cars out for test drive including the RAV4, Explorer,Jeep Liberty,and even a Aztec .So after a couple of months we decided to take the Vibe out one more time and we loved it over all the others we talked to the dealer and we discussed the options and such we wanted to get he said there would be a 4-6 month wait so we said what else do you have coming in he said he had a GT and one more AWD to cvome in later that month he said it was the Envy we told him to call us when it came in ,2 weeks later he called and said it was there and he told me we would have first crack at the car,when we went down on saturday I instantly fell in love with the colour my wife was a little aprehensive a first but after a couple of hours she loved the looks we were and still get from the other drivers here in town ,We havew driven the car through a cold winter it was below -30to-40 for almost 2 months and the had no problems and the handling on the ice and snow was fantastic I also own a 89 GMC 4x4 and I would say it handled the sow and ice better than even that.So if anyone is out looking for a new car pick the Vibe .

We got our Vibe on April 7th 03 we had to sign the paperwork by March 31st we got all the rebates Gm Loyalty,(Employee discount GM Retired)GM card, we had to wait a few days to find ours it came from Rochester N.Y. dealer trade we wanted a 5 speed hard to find around WNY we found two in the Buffalo Rochester area a frosty with every thing except anti lock brakes. but we bought a Satellite with charcoal cladding Moon and tunes,all power anti lock brakes, molded mud guards,( from pontiac dealer),dark charcoal interior, with stock wheels and covers The frosty had the aluminum wheels which i wanted. we have since added a Carflector Hood protector,and 35% window tint all around including the Moon roof, (to stay legal it is just enough) it really makes a difference in the overall appearance. WE really Love our Vibe. WE sold our son our 99Grand AM SE 36,000mi.

I picked mine up 3 weeks ago. I was lucky enough to find the one that I wanted on the lot at the local GM dealership. So I waited a total of 2 days. Needless to say, I am loving this car.

I have had mine for 2 weeks now and I am truly amazed at how well this car just "works". The bang-for-the-buck ratio is awesome. The only complaint I have so far is with the dealer - they can't seem to get me a set of door remotes. The previous vehicle I owned for over 5 years had them and I have become totally dependant on those little gizmos. Hopefully next week.This site is great!

I drove the 2004 this weekend. I love the new instrument panel. Much much easier to read. As soon as my house refinance is done..... I'm going to get me a Vibe Wife wants me to get LAVA, we already have a blue Mini Van but I like the Neptune. I would like Salsa or Neptune... but I think I might have her sold on the Charcoal.What are your thoughts?
