Vibe Lustrum

Post by joatmon »

So today marks five years for me and the car, bought it with cash on 12/30/02, and other than having to replace the tranny and catalytic converter, it has been a good car, always started, never left me stranded. 161K miles, averaged just under 36 mpg overall. Don't see anything better on the market right now, so I still plan to keep the car till it dies, which I expect to be years from now.Thanks to everybody here at genvibe, you people here sharing the same interest and enthusiasm for these cars has been a factor in my satisfaction with mine

That's awesome and congratulations. We've now had our Vibe 28 mos. and still not one trip back to the dealer. Had our Tundra p/u only 2 mos. now but no visits back to the dealer for it either. Can't say that about other p/u's and cars we've had. Again, congrats.
