Genvibe Newbie

Post by SatelliteJonny »

Have owned my Vibe for almost a year and a half but only recently found this forum. So far I've learned so much (gonna check out the possibility of new plastic cladding , thanks to that TSB I've read about here) and although modding my car was never all that interesting to me, this forum might change that...l8tr ppl

Yay another Ottawa Viber! Welcome to Genvibe. I saw a Satellite Vibe (a couple besides my own) today. Maybe one was you.

Were you the Vibe by the Sportchek on Merivale road? (Cause that's the only place I saw a Satellite vibe today, it was parked about 3-4 spaces away...)

I saw a Satellite on Rideau - it had a spoiler though, and another Satellite in Sandy Hill. Only place I had my Vibe today was in the Glebe for dinner.

Which dealer did you get your Vibe from? Mine's from Turpin.

Mine's from Surgenor, kind of far from the house, but the service has been great so far. Got it in March '03, and this was the only place that had any on the lot at the time and would give me any attention in the showroom, all the other dealers didn't even bother asking if I needed help...

Interesting. I got mine in the summer of 2002 and I called around to Surgenor first. They didn't even have any automatics for me to test drive! So that would be the main reason I didn't go there. I can't drive a stick. Turpin was great to me and aside from the oil cap mishap on my first oil change, I've had great service - even washed my car for me last time.
