My Vibe was an impulse buy on a day my wife and I had the day off. We went around and test drove a few cars and I took an automatic Vibe out for a spin and I liked the features of the car but hated the acceleration. I drove to London Ontario and test drove a manual one and the acceleration was better but it is still a slow car. At the time I had a 1990 Cavalier Z24 with 342000 km on it and the drivetrain was fine but the body was starting to fall off. I still have my 1979 GMC C20 but at 9 mi/gallon it sucks but it is fun to drive in a straight line. I bought the car because it could get about 30 mi/gallon on the highway and it is perfect because I can put most of the parts I need for my Chevelle in it without needing a trailer or taking the truck.
