changed my front passengers side strut at 130,000 kms,changed both front wheel bearing at same time,I have also broke both plastic door switch assembleys inside cheap plastic clips,a few rattles and a rear brake sqeek when I apply the brakes.All minor stuff in my books and quick fixes eccept the wheel bearings a garage job unless you have the tools as they are pressed in.I love my vibe.Down falls are bad blind spots and sunvisors suck.they could have been a bit bigger.

(on my second driver handle, and have to ginger it, or I will rip it off again).

nope sure wish they did though and they are to short and dont go far enough to the center of the windshield that dark smoked area just dont cut the sun down atall.all mine do is swing no extensions but all the other options are great.knock on wood my door handels are great.(knock knock).forgot to add ac compressor failed but warantee covered it.

My issue is not with their length, although my 05 extend out from the bar. It is the width. They don't extend far enough down when folded. I find myself sitting up higher to keep the sun from my eyes at certain times of the day. Very annoying.
