WHEEL SPOTLIGHT: |
|
The Vibe blends the handling of a small sedan with the practicality of a five-door hatchback. It's geared toward young buyers who want a stylish, practical vehicle but don't need or want a gas-guzzling SUV. Built in the same factory as Toyota's Matrix, the Vibe was a jointly developed vehicle that shares most major components with its Japanese cousin. At just 171 inches long, the Vibe is slightly shorter than a Honda Civic sedan, but the body is taller and wider. The boxier dimensions make for a more spacious and functional interior than your average economy sedan. The rear seats fold completely flat to open up just over 54 cubic feet of cargo space while the durable plastic load floor offers adjustable tie-down points via built-in floor tracks. The front-passenger seat also folds flat to function as an impromptu work table for the driver or to aid in loading longer items. Drivers sit higher than in most sedans but not so much as to make entry and exit a chore like many SUVs. Red backlit gauges with chrome-trim rings highlight a sharp-looking instrument panel while the rest of the interior features straightforward climate controls, a well-placed stereo for easy access and even an A/C outlet for plugging in electronic devices. Multiple audio systems allow you to add everything from in-dash CD changer to an integrated DVD navigation system, items not usually found on vehicles in this class. The Vibe's sporty looks are backed up by a well-sorted suspension that delivers a comfortable ride around town and responsive handling. Front-wheel drive is the standard layout, but all-wheel drive is available for negotiating the roads during inclement weather. The top-level GT version offers optional 17-inch wheels and tires for the performance-minded buyer in addition to its six-speed manual gearbox and 180-hp four-cylinder engine. Lesser models make do with a detuned version of the GT's engine, but a dealer-installed supercharger will be available midyear that boosts performance considerably. Capable competitors like Chrysler's PT Cruiser, Mazda's Protege5 and Subaru's Impreza Outback Sport share many of the Vibe's attributes. The Chrysler boasts cool retro styling and spunky turbocharged engine choices; the Mazda is generally known for its excellent handling, and the Subaru offers excellent all-weather capability. The Vibe doesn't quite match any one of those vehicles in its specific areas of expertise, but it does offer a well-rounded package that delivers a little bit of everything without sacrificing practicality or fun. Add in the unique interior features and multiple drivetrain configurations, and the Vibe certainly makes a strong case for itself as an attractive yet practical sport wagon that won't break the bank.
We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the
nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a
skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell
our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest
assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever
leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock
specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels
to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets
smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance
the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art
hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights,
and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for
shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors,
they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat
business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel
clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able
to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around.
We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers.
Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
