GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

this is what i've got to drive while they fix my vibe.

....soooo what are you driving?

That's alot better than what we thought you were going to get...

bet thats all kinds of fun in the snow.

Sure is an upgrade to the Dodge Caliber I had for a month. Repairs still are not done but insurance rental coverage ran out. Rockin' my room mate's '01 Ford Focus now

i believe they changed the silver in 05. satellite was avail for 03/04.

thanx hopedid the name change too? or was it also satellite in o5+ but a different code...

it was a different name. i can't really remember. sorry. i just called it silver

Ha at home the pic loads! hahha well that was funny sweet, looks to be the 3.8l v6, some pep but should be a decent rental

I would not drive that even it is a rental.

ha! i'm likin it. alot of power. luckily not alot of snow on the ground. i'm happy with this rental. i couldn't see myself driving a chevy impala, which was the only other car available!

At least it is better than the one I had when my wing was getting painted. I had a Buick Century or Regal ( granny car ). I felt like a really old man when driving it, but it did haul a**.

I felt like a really old man when driving it...that's exactly what i was thinking if i would have ended up with the impala. maybe if it was a 94 ss, i'd have gone with that i do look forward to getting the vibe back though

You DEFINITLY need to beat the living SNOT out of that POS...

When my wife's '00 Neon was in the shop, the only car they had was a Toyota Echo It was lousy on the freeway (probably took her a whole mile to get up to speed) Not long after that, I had my Jeep in the shop and had to rent a Nissan Sentra, which wasn't too bad.Traded the Jeep in about a month later for the Vibe.

trash that rental!!!ford sucks!!!i have had a ton of rentals since i got a vibe:1. chevy tracker-not too bad actually2. VW Jetta- non deisel sucks3. gmc caynon- i think it was the 5 cyl. pretty sweet truck4. mits. lancer- nice5. pontiac bonneville- '93 thats all i have to say!and some others that my dad kept while the vibe was in the shop

Vroom. Hehe.Enterprise gave me a new Monte Carlo as a free upgrade to the economy car I'd reserved. Not quite as nice as the 'Stang but still a pretty nice car.I drove a Mustang for five years. We don't get a ton of snow here, but we have LOTS of hills and ice.If you drive one all the time, you get used to it. There's a ski resort near Johnstown (Blue Knob) that has the lodge at the top of the hill. The last time I was there the access road was covered in ice and my Mustang was one of the few cars that made it all the way to the top. No chains. No snow tires.Just be easy on the throttle and it should be fine.I couldn't tell from the pic... 6cyl or 8?

nice TJinPgh,Thats for sure the v6.

yep, it's the v6. no lights in the grille, and no GT emblems on the front fenders.and yeah you need to drive the hell outta that car. you know that's what rentals are for, don't you?? my friend and i went off roading in a ford escape rental. man we bottomed that thing out like 8 times lolrental cars to beat up ftw!!!

hey guys, yeah its a 6. and i'm lookin at 44 degrees today with some rain and then by tonite it drops to 16 and then maybe snow sunday or something. so TJ, i'll really learn to 'be easy on the throttle' next couple days if it was summertime, this would be alot more fun to drive
