Repo man took it at 175K. Miss my Vibe. Drove like a tank. Changed the oil religiously, didnt burn a drop. Can you imagine it sold at auction for $3900 with that kind of mileage?

I now have 106k miles on the Vibe and I have only replaced the tires and that was at 65,000 with the original Goodyear Eagle tires. Still have original brakes. The VIBE will cost less than its twin the Matrix and have the same reliability. I think it was 2009 that they changed the engine with increased hp but less mpg.. I would rather have the better gas mileage and the design of the 2003-2008 body too.. Both the MAtrix and the Vibe are built on the Corolla platform, but I think the Vibe is more versitile..

Reformed VW Owner

After years of owning and loving VW products, I decided to switch brands and try the Vibe. With 3000 dollars in rebates, it made alot of sense. I like the car well enough, but I am disappointed in a few things. The plastic used in the cargo area is cheap, and marks up easily when loading. The car has rattles in the dashboard already, and it's only a few months old. The engine is buzzy, but powerful. I also have noticed that it's hard to find the sweet spot on the clutch. When the new Golf/Jetta come out in 2005, I may be switching back to VW's. The Vibe hasn't everything I've come to expect from a car/daily transportation.

I have taken it to Florida from North Carolina twice since I bought my Vibe and have gotten great gas mileage-- 33/35 mpg highway, Every where I get people wanting to know if it is a minivan a station wagon or an suv. I just tell them its a mini-suv. everyone loves it and most would like to own one. I love the idea of not having to crawl in and out of it like a small car or step up high like an suv. I have hauled a heavy-duty storm door without the back door open. I simply popped the backglass open and it hung out about 2" laying flat. I can seat 3 large people in the back seat without them being crowded. My friends like that. I LOVE MY VIBE

It's a peppy smart looking car that is a cross between an SUV and a wagon. It handles smoothly on straight aways as well road construction surfaces. Great front window view. The back hatch door can be opened fully with remote or just the window can be open if you just want to put small bags in.This car is very roomy and seats 5 people very comfortable. Has great back seat leg room for tall people. This car does have roadside service coverage which hopefully I'll never have to check out,but at least it's available. This car also has a great sound system.CDs play and sound like you're listening live. Free oil changes every 3 months is a great incentive also.
