GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hi, My name is Amanda. I just bought a 2006 Vibe. I have wanted a vibe since about 2002. Funny enough when I went to my first dealership, I left buying a Pt cruiser. So anyway here I am, vibe owner, 1st full day today. I am just curious about the normal problems to expect with the 2006. I am also determinded to do my own maintanence, so if there are any good tips there. Thanks.

welcome to the family how the heck did you end up with a pt cruiser the first time around??!!?!?

lol. Being the girl as I am, I went for the looks. I had it for a year, but it was JUST looks. I am hoping the vibe will suit all my needs.

oh and at least check that this is/was taken care ofhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=42285

Welcome!I wanted a PT Cruiser too.....until I test drove it LOL. I ended buying a Civic instead.The Vibe will take care of you, thats for sure.

welcome, welcome!

I need to take pics, if anything to insert the image into my own mind, I am still looking for my cruiser when I walk out to the parking lot. I am hoping for better gas milage. I have a front wheel drive. How is it at transporting dogs? any proud owners out there? I love my babies.

there's more than a few dog owners on the board. they'll make themselves known shortly, i'm sure! my malamute and white shephard would have loved the vibe.

WelcomeI have two dogs and I also do dog transports for a rescue group. The vibe lends itself very well for this task.I built the pet barrier that is listed herehttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=7302Works great

Have to say I was happy with it but by 2004 we had both that PT and a 2003 Vibe and I wanted something bigger for a 2nd car so we traded the PT on a T&C. I

welcome! The Vibe is a great versatile vehicle and you shouldn't have any issues transporting your dogs.as for the maintenance, more power to you if you want to do it yourself. I found that it's easier and cheaper to just pay someone else the $30. LOL

Welcome to the GV forums. Post some pix of your dogs (and the Vibe too).

Welcome to GenVibe!!!

very cool barrier. I wish I had the time and patience to build it. I may try it one day. Kudos! and cute pups!

wow where do you go for your repair. Last month they was going to charge me $117 to do an oil change and change my spark plugs for my pt! that was when I called out to my friends hubbies and learned how to do it for 1/10 the price and time.

thems my babies, they're shar pei's. and the fluffy one is a mix of a chow and shep.
