Wow! What a difference the S/C made. Now that it is off, it feels like I could run faster...hahahaha! It was fun while it lasted. I'm glad I was lucky enough to get one (and actually use it!) . The Vibe should have had the much power from the factory.

Re: No Supercharger = $$$$!!
Did you happen to keep enough records to make a cost to operate comparison of S/C vs stock?
Re: No Supercharger = $$$$!!
Paid 20-25cents more and got 7miles less per gallon less with the S/C. I'm very happy to be able to buy regular gas again and enjoy the mpg increase.joatmon wrote:Did you happen to keep enough records to make a cost to operate comparison of S/C vs stock?
At today's gas prices:
Cost per tank(AWD):
With S/C= $45.58 & 280 miles per tank
Without S/C= $43.34 & 358 miles per tank
Cost per mile:
With S/C= .163¢ per mile
Without S/C= .121¢ per mile

Re: No Supercharger = SLOW!!
What was the reason for removing the S/C? And do you know how many miles you put on the S/C before you took it off?
Also welcome to the club haha, I definitely feel the AWD should have been a bit quicker!

Re: No Supercharger = SLOW!!
I am handing it down to my stepson this fall, so I parted out to get some money back for a down payment on a different vehicle mor myself. I put approximately 25,000 miles on the S/C in the 18 months I had it on. It was slow for the 7 years previous, so I am no stranger to the powerless AWD. It just fell even more that the s/c is gone.OmniDimensional wrote:What was the reason for removing the S/C? And do you know how many miles you put on the S/C before you took it off?

Re: No Supercharger = SLOW!!
It's hard to imagine my 4WD Matrix without the SC. The words would be "HOLY SLOW"! 0-60 in 12+ seconds is painful, 0-60 in 8 seconds is great.
I still get 26 to 28 combo, 32 MPH Hwy.
Very Happy and well worth it even with all the hassles

Re: No Supercharger = SLOW!!
in my personal experience, even the awd is slow supercharged...but only have c3z0n on mo.com to compare against...
i had the same issue when i popped the s/c off the yaris....was significantly less awesome to drive...
