This has probably been my favorite car I have ever owned. The Vibe combines the features of a car, a hatchback wagon, a crossover, and an SUV. It is both practical and stylish. I am the second owner and have performed all scheduled maintenance on a regular basis over the past five years. I have always used semi-synthetic oil and had regular tire rotations and balancing. It has newer all-season Falken tires (10/13) from Discount Tire that have a warranty until 208, 533 miles. The front brakes and rotors were replaced 8 months ago. I had the tires rotated and balanced last month. I had the oil changed this week and also had it professionally cleaned by a detail shop. It has new premium wipers, new engine air filter, new cabin air filter (many people forget to change these.) The only issues that I aware of are that there is a brief whistling noise from the exhaust that occurs on hard acceleration. I have had several mechanics tell me there is nothing wrong with my exhaust and I have this in writing. There is also some minor paint flaking on the rear bumper. You can see in the pictures that there is paint missing from the upper part of the rear bumper about the size of an index card.
