I am an owner of a 2008 vibe, blue with 128,000 miles on it. The car has been abused but runs great. I have had the oil and filter changed and the automatic transmission serviced. Inside has been a work in progress. I am not a fan of dog hair. I have just pulled the center console and cleaned, vacuumed and reinstalled. The front tires removed cleaned, dressed and reinstalled. Inspection report on struts, one leaking and the other boot beat to crap. New kyb loaded ready to go should be here on Friday..
Alittle about me , I was an owner of a 2003 matrix but let my wife trade it in in 2010. I purchased a Pontiac fiero gt, 1987.it's in mint condition with 68,500 miles on it. I am I the Pontiac club in Jacksonville FL that is why I wanted a vibe. I am now a Pontiac mechanic, or i am trying. I am disabled and just had my 7th back fusion so I am not the fastest. I raced microstocks and helped build bodies for North East dirt cars. Many nights doing setup for circle tracks. The matrix had TRD sway bars and handled great. If you go to new smyrna speedway fiero, the 5 minute video I am the car on the outside passing and in 5laps I passed the fiero pase car..it was fun I am always looking for help so thanks for letting me join your group.

Hi Jim, welcome to Genvibe and thanks for the great story!

Welcome! I had a Fiero sooo many years ago. The one thing that people mentioned the most about it... the damn headrest speakers. lol What a Fiero needs? LS swap.

Anyway, they did away with those cars just as they were finally getting them down. I had an Olds w/the Quad 4 HO. If they'd kept the Fiero a little longer and started dropping that 4 in there instead of the ol' Iron Duke, they'd been onto something. The 6 was still an improvement over the old 4, for sure, though. (I still like the iterations of the MR2 more, though. )

Welcome to the forum, jim94!
I like to see some pictures of your cars, Vibe and Fiero. No matter where the Fiero is mentioned it will be accompanied with: "It took them for ever to get it right and then they killed it"
I spotted this one in a small town in Iowa:

Welcome to GenVibe Jim! It's great to hear you're a Pontiac fanatic! My parents and I are as well! Between the three of us, we've had 2 Sunbirds (89 LE sedan & 94 LE Sedan), 3 Sunfires (98 SE Sedan, 02 GT Coupe & 02 SE Sedan) and now our 2 09 Vibe GTs! Too bad Pontiac was murdered by GM . As others have said, definitely post some pictures of the Vibe and Fiero when you get a chance !
