and I must say it was a good trade! Old BMWs don't nickle and dime you to death, they $500 you to death! Does the vibe have the effortless power of the BMW? No. You gotta MAKE it go fast. Which is part of the fun--love the 6-speed. Plus I get 80 more miles to a tank of gas for $12 less per tank. And there's room for my guitar, amps, etc. I could keep going on and on but you guys already know the deal. NOW...what mods to do first....

The vehicle in front accelerated and handled better. The one in back had more cargo room and a much higher top speed. As to which one took the most work to keep it running it was a toss-up...

Welcome to GenVibe! You'll get a lot of info here on how to MAKE your new ride faster! Top two performance mods will be a Cold Air Intake (Injen, AEM are popular) and a cat-back exhaust (Magnaflow, Borla are a couple)First BMW - to - Pontiac trade I've ever heard of! Sounds like you made the prudent choice...

Awesome! Welcome to GenVibe, Sarge. Yup, the first mods should be intake and exhaust. Then just jump into the new 2zz Turbo that has just completed development. It is listed on
http://www.matrixowners.com. The Toyota Matrix is the same as the Vibe, just a different shell exterior.GenVibe has a great bunch of people that are willing to help with anything you need for the Vibe. Good luck with the mods.

Very sharp looking Vibe - I love the spoiler & ground effect kit, I had it on mine before I sold it. Enjoy it, I still miss my Vibe, even with my little supercharged guided missile. Happy modding, too.
