First real ride.

Post by PopeyeFAFL »

I got my Vibe since 2 weeks and 2 days, but except for commuting to work and getting the groceries, I did not really took a ride with it, until today.So today, I visited my sister in Ottawa, so I did Montréal - Ottawa using the Highway and Ottawa - Montréal using the small road (if I remember it well, a 500 km ride total).That was quite enjoyable, 110 km/hrs listening to some CD's (The Stones in Philharmonics version, Forest Gump soundtrack, Supertramp Best of, etc.) plus the a/c in low or medium form, nice handling, etc. etc.I think, I'm gonna love this Vibe !!!Live is good.P.S.: My sister is jealous of my Vibe colour (Fusion), she got a grey Focus.

The focus is soo overplayed now. Not even worth buying in my opinion.Inder Singh

It's a nice car to hit the open road with. Very comfortable for traveling, yet still handles great. Feels good to get out there, crank up the tunes, and just drive, doesn't it? Very nice indeed. Keep on enjoying the car, it just gets better.

The Vibe is easily the most comfortable car I've ever traveled in. In my Sonoma, my legs and (removed) would be numb within an hour...but driving home from Ohio, I only stopped twice for five minute "nature breaks" and 25 minutes to eat lunch...and by the time I stopped for lunch, I was less than 2 hours from home. It's fun to drive, and very very comfortable. Mom says they're the most comfortable seats she's ever seen in a car...and I have to agree.
