Yeah, funny thing is the I live next door to work and have two (2) company vehicles to use so the Vibe is used for zero miles of my commute.My wife works in the next town and drives a total of 7 miles per day round trip commuting on back roads with a top speed limit of 35 miles per hour and most of it is 25 miles per hour!How the H#%& do I drive 25,000 miles per year!?!Well..... one daughter and one grandchild live in Reading Pa, a 2 hr 15 minute trip one way, the other daughter with four grand children until recently lived in Bethlehem Pa, a 1 hr 10 minute trip one way.I guess you could say that most of our miles are "pleasure" miles!!Interestingly, we still Love the Vibe! Would purchase it again if it were possible. Just put on new tires (3rd set) for the next 50,000 miles.I'll tune it up, replace the belts and take a long look at the hoses. Most on the road breakdowns are completely preventable.Dave

My problem (good or bad depending on how you look at it) is that I rarely have any time for "pleasure driving" and thus the Vibe, now 2.6 years old, is stuck on 11000 miles At my rate I'll hit the 100K mileage in the summer of 2035 I hope I'm alive to still be driving it
