All went very well, and it's a very nice car. Not the power of our '02 SiR, but still a great lil' Toyota... So we are now proud owners of a '05 Vibe 5 speed, and a '02 Honda Civic SiR also 5 speed.Here's the Vibe...

Looks nice, same as the 05 Vibe that we have on the lot that I borrowed the MAF sensor from to fix mine. Great pics!What part of Ontario are you? East or West?

Nice looking '05. That to me is the best color in the '05s. Looks best with the new front end. Congrats on your purchase.

Very nice color! Excellent shots, too - you appear to make excellent use of the "magic hour" of dusk sunlight.

I actually like the Armrest as it is very handy, although it is as hard as a rock. My wife however, can't even reach it from her sitting position, so I guess I'm tall enough for it as I need the seat all the way back to be comfortable.Also, I must admit that when I drive my Civic SiR after the Vibe, it's like night and day for power... Guess I would need to go up to a Vibe GT/Matrix XRS to get power like my Honda.Still a great car though the Vibe, and great on gas compared to my SiR.Peace, out.
