A tad less pressure ought to "stick" the front wheels better. The car is so new, however, that I haven't even <em>checked</em> the tire pressure yet! Guess I'll make that #1 on my list...

Over the years (ever since radial tires came out), I've had good results with this procedure. But try experimenting to see what, and how much, works for your car.

To me, the car felt like it had the steering of my MG's, nice and quick. I like the feel. It always held the road, it was well mannered! The engine has a really nice sound, even better when you let the revs come on up to the top end. Our Vibe came into it's own at about 5K. Milage got better about that time. Enjoy I am so very happy for you and your wife.
