LOL. Had my full size Z71 Silverado parked and/or at the dealership for a week for an oil change. Drove the Vibe all week since winter is over and the GF can go back to her beloved Firebird.Wow. What a difference in steering. I kept turning the wheel a little bit, then a little bit more, then more, then yikes shes not turning...oh wait there she goes.....a little turn of the wheel on the Vibe and your in the ditch, a little turn on the Silverado and your still going the direction you were... Of course, if I "get on it" in the Silverado Im in the back seat almost...the Vibe is a bit more tame

I did the same thing today. The wife had the Vibe and I drove my Sierra in a raging late season snowstorm on borderline tires. It was kind of hairy sitting up so high with the back end slidding around. I finally put it in 4WD and drove down the highway at about 40mph. You're right about the acceleration, there's nothing like a 300hp V8.
