I have had nothing but problem after problem with my Vibe. I am so very sorry that I purchased this car. I hadn't had the car a week and had a problem with the brakes. I was told it was because I live on a dirt road. How funny. Dirt roads have been around forever. It was a metal shard they found after much insistence. Many other problems exist as well.
Not a vehicle to buy if you live where it snows

I purchased my 2006 Vibe in October of 2010 and have had nothing but trouble with it. This car handles horribly in midwest winters. It has newer tires, just no traction on or in snow and rain. I went in a complete circle turning a corner 1 day and I was barely moving because the snow was fresh and could tell the Vibe wasn't handling well. I was having issues with my key not working in the ignition back in November, and just got a letter on February 19 2011 there is a safety recall with my car. I wouldn't have known about the recall because it wasn't discovered until Aug of 2010 and I bought it in October. Letters didn't start going out until January 14th 2011. Shakes on windy days.

I have a Lava red mono tone, preferred package, It is great on gas, but can be a little more sportier and comfortable for the driver.
great car

I searched the web for a car for my daughter that was low cost and fuel efficient. I got it when I got my vibe. I liked it so much I kept it and will get her one when she graduates from High school.

The thing that is really fun about the Vibe is that it sits higher than a sedan. This means that you can look into the Hummer next to you and the driver can see you smiling as you fly past the pumps because of the fuel economy. I haven't been in a domestic product for years. The only reason I bought this one was, it is a Matrix/Corolla power train, Matrix and Vibe jointly developed, and well employee pricing got the $21K sticker down to $17k. The drawbacks are the usual complaints that I have with domestic products, poor quality paint and plastics throughout. I had quite a bit of trouble initially with the transmission, although I believe this was an anomaly specific to my vehicle.
