GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Great to see that we have a spot now, I f anyone needs any help or parts for there vube in the Minnesota area let me know. I get all parts from GM at whole sale price.

Hey my email is black85gt@hotmail.com, let me know what you need.later Kevin

Not many MN owners at this forum yet. Well, I'll add to the number.I picked up my Vibe on Saturday, and am very happy. I have a base model and am surprised with how well it handles. Stereo is surprisingly good for a factory issue (moon and tunes).I'm looking forward to spring when I can go with the moon roof open.

I'll throw my name inFrom St. Cloud...owned since Oct ...Got the 0.0 financing as a result.

Well not much action from MN but I will add my name to the list. I work for a company that manufactures automotive aftermarket components. Nothing for the Vibe, but I can always keep pushing . Love the car, have the same complaints as most.-Horn, what horn! I thought I electrocuted a mosquito!!!-Hard center armrest!-Light sentinel!!-Rattles in front doors!-Chrome on doors rubs off-Stereo has pleanty of volume but no bass, and I am not the type who likes thumping bass, just expected more. The base stereo does better in that department.-Dead battery!!! I generate more energy pushing the clutch pedal in!!Fellow Minnesotans, lets hear from ya!

Well I'm finally an offical Vibe Owner since last Tuesday! So I'm saying hello to everyone in the area....

Welcome aboard. (removed) Rapids, huh. I'm in Ramsey. I'll bet you went to Thomas?

Yeah.. talked to 4 other dealships and they all treated me like crap. I really had a hard time getting a dealership to sell me a $20,000 car.From start to finish Shawn Loss at Thomas was by far the best.

Looked at the Vibe for the first time today in White Bear Lake. What do people in MN think about the FWD versus the AWD for our winters?

I haven't had any issues with the 2wd....I'm sure the AWD would be nice...but I didn't like the price and the mileage drop.

Oh wow, hope one of the guys I work with doesnt see this....hes a Fiero fan big time! Im new too, but welcome!

I've been a proud owner of my Vibe since August of 2003! I think we should have our own little Vibe rally of our own

I'm game on any vibe meet in MN....with all the car dealerships in this state it s houldn't be too hard to arrange.

I didn't know that some people that visit this site actually live close to me!Vibe owner since 2003.

HiI just purchased a 2005 AWD Vibe. Trading in my Subaru Forester (which is AWD). I have a long commute to work and have also driven FWD. I would stand behind AWD as being far better for winter and wet road conditions than FWD. It is more costly up front and slightly less MPG, however, the security in the bad weather is well worth it.Now the little vibe doesn't have much power, but I'm a putsy driver anyway!! ;-)I am from the Waconia area.

welcome to the forums! i hope you stay long and use all the great info about our cars.

Welcome!I drive my full size Silverado truck in the winter time instead of the Vibe (SHE gets the Vibe in winter since her Firebird isnt great in snow..or anything else lol). Had it since 99. Have yet to NEED to kick in the transfer case in snow and ice, but it sure as heck is FUN to kick it in....

Hi--I don't really qualify for this one--I'm in South Dakota--but I think I'm the only one so can I join you MN-ers by default? I just got my '04 Vibe on Thursday--slightly used, only 7600 miles on it, and so far I LOVE it! I don't have the GT or the AWD and I'm curious how it will do in the snow this winter--any comments?

Congrats! Welcome to GenVibe!Did you get the Base, GT or AWD?

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush »Congrats! Welcome to GenVibe!Did you get the Base, GT or AWD?We got the base - the gal didn't want a stick. We did get a good deal because it was a new 2004 still sitting on the lot with some options - navigation system, 17" aluminum wheels to name a couple. Just gave it a good coat of polish and wax this morning.

Very Nice! The Fusion was my second color choice. Still love it though.Enjoy the Vibe and this forum!

Are there any "vibe" hang out spots on the weekends in the cities this summer?

Add me to the list, as a new Vibe 2005 AWD owner. Own it for close to 2 weeks now, still loving it. I am in the Msp area. Will post some pics later.

Welcome To GenVibe! Owned mine for over a year now and also still loving it!

Nice wheels & side graphics! Looks Great! Did you install the graphics yourself?

the decal was already on when I bought it. I like it but it is not the best quality.

So now it is going to the shop tomorrow to be taken off. Very sad.... . What a waste..... Too bad it will not have the sporty look after tomorrow.

The decal is scatched up when you see it closely and some parts are peeling...
