Things you LIKE about your Vibe

Post by micheles_bad_vibe »

so what are the things you would absolutely NOT want GM to change on the vibe?1. the table behind the passenger seat... my 6 year old loves to put his dirty muddy shoe all over it.... i could care less because i can just wipe it right off 2. the roominess of the back seat3. the seats are so DAMN comfortable4. TONS of little storage places5. handling6. compactness... in the world of suv's it's a wonderful thing to be able to find a parking space and rub it in those suv owners faces7. it's so cool looking 8. the price9. fun to drive10. i just LOVE it dammit!!!

Too many things to mention. My favorite is probably the way it looks. Unique styling and great versatility. What more could you ask for?

I like the roominess, and the comfort of both the front and back seats. I didn't want a moonroof because I didn't want to give up the inch of headroom, but got one and am glad I got it.I also like the MPG, best in 2003 GM line. It's no hybrid, but it's the best of any car I've ever had.I like the way it looks, even without mods it's fast enough, and it's a blast to drive.I have a really long daily commute, and was getting fed up with it, but this car makes the commute no big deal. just more time i GET to drive it.

Hmm... I pretty much like everything about it. I love the fact that I can put a whole pile of stuff in it and still have lots of room. The back seats are very roomy. I like all the "cubby holes" and hiding spots in the car as well.

Well lets see... I love the engine in this car, the way it handles, able to haul my whole drum kit and some other gear if needed, the red dash is great in my opinion.... i could go on and on. I just love the little beast.

Things I like...Definitely the folding front seat, it's down more than it us upright. Keeps the CD case within easy reach, and gives me a nice little armrest.Those seats are indeed pretty darn comfy!The smooth ride, the responsive handling - this car just drives GOOD!It's small, thus easy and fun to fling around... Turns on a dime, making parking a breeze.The stereo sounds GREAT for my type of music - jazzy kind of stuff. Very crisp, and clear... Throw in some good music, open the moonroof, and take a drive in the country in the middle of the night for no reason. I'm loving that!Just knowing I have something different than everyone else (since the Vibe has YET to gain popularity around here) makes me happy...All of the comfort and utility of something larger... Yet it delivers very good mileage and puts out low emissions. Makes me feel a little better, from an environmental standpoint.I guess I could say, I just LOVE this thing!
