Just rolled 203,000 miles on my 04 Vibe today

Been a great car. A few issues here and there but not much. the only one that bugs me right now is the heater blower doesnt work on the first 2 settings then blows strong the last 2 so its hot or cold.

Thats great! Congrats! I just hit 92K & no major issues. Your problem is the blower motor relay. I changed mine out in 10mins & its $40 peice.

First, congrats on 200,000+ miles on your vibe! I hope to achieve that one day, I'm nearing 100,000 (96,500) and am somewhat biting my nails at the thought. Fortunately, I've had no major problems since I got it at 72,264 miles. The worst was a cracked windshield after it was walloped with matter (likely a stone) from the highway. At least I was able to "upgrade" my windshield.Second...my Vibe actually had this quirk since I got it where nothing would appear to happen when I put the blower on "Low". The other three settings work well, though. Is that a blower relay problem as well or a common quirk among Vibes?

Congrats and welcome to GV! Makes me think I don't drive enough. I've got 147k on my '95 and 46k on my '02. One Toyota and one Pontiac, not a Vibe though.
