I'm about to buy a 2005 Vibe !

Post by PopeyeFAFL »

I think that I'm about to plunge.Since few months, I was looking for my next new car, I discovered the Vibe/Matrix only recently and I think I will buy one within a week or two.I think, it will be a Vibe 2005, color Fusion (Orange) with the Power group & Mags wheels. At first, I was thinking about leather seats, Moon&Tune (Sunroof + Mags + 200W radio + Subwofer), but I convinced myself that I can live without leather seats (never had a car with it) & Sunroof (I had a car with that once, but an aftermarket roof). As far as the more powerful radio, I only listen to the news on my way to work.Anyway, I hope you will encourage me in my purchase (is it a good car ?, from what I read, it look like it). My actual car is an Honda Accord LX (2 dr) with 335000 Km (I'm not sure what I should do with it, trade it ?, or try to sell it on my own, or simply junk it ?).To a near future, I'm about to join the family.P.S.: Sorry if my English is not perfect, I'm from Québec and French is my mother tongue.

You won't regret buying a vibe, we just picked up our 2nd one (my son rolled the first one), and this time we bought one already built. It came with A/T, power group, moon and tunes, alloy wheels, and abs. I've never owned a car with a sunroof before, but we love it. The Stereo is AWESOME. What sound! Fusion is a great color too! Check out the pic I attached. Same day We picked up our vibe my parents bought one too. If you want to see how well vibes hold up in a triple rollover, check out the picture in the "damn good car" thread.

you'll love the fusion, just check out my "out of date" car domain page which needs updating, but I might wait till I get it lowered this month.

I have had my 05 Vibe for a month...it's great! I would HIGHLY recommend the Moons & Tunes (with XM radio)...the moonroof is very good quality and it's not drafty or noisy! I was impressed. I have had one installed in a car (awful) and one car with it built in...OK...but this one is the nicest.Good Luck!
