Thoughts on my first month with the Vibe GT..
Thoughts on my first month with the Vibe GT..
I traded in my BMW 328is on Vibe GT a month and 3000 miles ago. I LOVE THE CAR! I had to re-learn how to drive it 'briskly' due to the front wheel drive but it handles as well as the BMW at any sane speed. 6-speed's a lot of fun. Room is awesome! I've hauled a load of pineapples, 3 guitars and 3 amps plus misc stuff, my wife/2 kids/associated luggage for a weekend trip. A/C blows away the BMW system in the Tampa heat--pun intended. No mods (yet) but they're coming. Gripes? Very few--moon n tunes system is adequate..barely. Wierd headlight illumination pattern. And that's al the negative things I've noticed! Already looking forward to the drive home...you all know how THAT is!

Wow! Congrats! Big jump from a BMW to a Vibe! Glad you like it!
Re: Thoughts on my first month with the Vibe GT.. (the_sarge)
Glad to hear you love your GT too! I sure do know what you mean by you're looking forward to your drive home. Everyday when I get off work, I can't wait to get into my car. I always look forward to driving my car, even though I've had my GT for over 3 years. Sure is great to have that feeling even when I've owned the car this long. Start the mods and it'll be even MORE fun to drive. Mods I'd recommend: tint (especially in your heat), new speakers, CAI (totally changes the sound, especially lift, +12whp), springs, wheels, exhaust. That's the order I installed them over the years. Have fun!

I can see that. I haven't lowered it yet but I can definitely tell it will make a significant difference. I'm a bit surprised by how sticky the Bridgestones are. I hope they stay that way...

Maybe I just got lucky--the AC kicks a__. Even with a black car with black interior.
