Hello to all- Happy to be a Vibe Owner

Post by Napalm »

Hello to all!!! My wife and I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Vibe AWD almost a year ago come this March and we couldn't be happier with it this far!!! It truly is an amazing car overall. Not to mention I think it is a sexy looking automobile at least for a couple in their 20's. We did allot of research before making the purchase. Most of our questions answered by reading through the GenVibe forums and also reading all the amazing reviews of the vehicle. We live in Colorado so the AWD was a must and I was skeptical at first having driven nothing but SUV's in the past. I must say it has been amazing in the snow and goes pretty much anywhere we need it to--WITHOUT CHAINS I have one fuss with it which my wife says I am crazy. I think it vibrates to much (Guess that's why they call it a Vibe). It's a smooth running car but it likes to idle a bit rough. I have read through all the rough idle posts and even had the dealer replace some sort of valve but it still seems a bit to rough for me. Other than that which I have gotten use to I absolutely love the vehicle. Besides what can I say it has a Toyota engine and they seem to be very good engines.Anyhow thanks for reading my post after months of reading through the Gen Vibe forums I thought I would sign up. I will post pics of my Vibe just as soon as I get a day off from work. This time of year it seems to get dark before work ends P.S.- My alloy wheels just arrived today thanks to my lovely wife ordering them for my anniversary present--can't wait to install them.

Welcome, Nice background for your Vibe picture. I think they put the torch away and are headed for those lounge chairs so they can all enjoy the view.
