Vibe is 3yrs today

Post by coldmm803 »

like the title says, today is my vibes 3rd bday. the time has gone quick and i've had no issues other than the cat going and being replaced under the tsb. i've driven a measly 22,660 miles and have an overall avg of 27.7mpg cause majority of my driving is city around my college and the only highway trips are when i go home on break.

Our 3rd birthday is the 25th!Only issues have been a couple recalls - passenger window rattle and the center console popping open. It's actually at the dealer today getting a 30k checkup. (it's actually got nearly 70k miles and we never got a checkup at 30k) I changed the pads and rotors at about 60k, even though they could have made it quite a bit longer. Hey - that's my Genvibe b-day too!

I got mine 3 days before the U.S. entered Iraq. So mine turned 5 roughly a week ago. My "only" problem required rebuilding the transmission Appox 90,000 miles on it to date.

Wow, 3yrs and only 22,000 miles?? Ugh, think my Vibe will have that by the end of the month, LOL. Ok, not quite but sometimes it feels like I live in my car. Linda

Quote, originally posted by Thegroomerlady »Wow, 3yrs and only 22,000 miles?? yep yep, i'm a college student and lived on campus for 2 1/2 yrs that i had the Vibe so while i was on campus walmart, food store and home depot were all within 2 miles of campus. had an internship for a few months which was 5 miles away so the only time it sees a lot of miles is when i go home for breaks (120miles). this school year tho i got a place off campus so i'm commuting 5 miles each way to campus and when my group works on our senior project we work in NJ at one of our sponsors places 15 miles from campus.
