GreetingsI've had my red-rocket Vibe for about a year. It's fun to drive. I drive 70 miles to work every work day through the magnificent Southern California desert. It quickly gets up to 85 mph and loves it there. It's so smooth and quiet. I dont know why but it's not too soon that I have other little cars chasing me. Next year I'll pass this Vibe to one of my kids and get the Vibe GT.

Welcome to GenVibeAnd some cars just run best at a certain speed. I know mine likes it around 130-140km. Rides very smooth and even when I let up on the gas, then glance back down again, there we are at about 130km again.

Welcome to GenVibe! Glad to hear that you like the car. Now when you get that GT, you'll be able to get up to cruising speed a little quicker!

dude! settle down! it's all in good fun! The base/awd isn't for everyone and the GT isn't for everyone. hince, they made all three models. i wasn't referring to being better than anyone because I have a GT.Just messing around! Dang, I feel you can't be you're freakin' self around here! I try not to be offensive, have fun, and lighten the mood!
