Now that I have something else to drive everyday, the xB only sees pleasure driving. Are there others that have been able to spare their xBs the danger of daily driving duty?
It has relieved much of the stress I used to have about it getting messed with.

 

I'm a city boy. My xB gets driven pretty much only for fun. As far as getting messed with goes, "fun" entails trips up forest service roads of sometimes very dubious quality, so the stress factor is definitely still there.

 

I'm lucky enough to have another car to drive too, great to have especially in the bad weather....keeps my new car new...

 

Def. allows you to keep it clean and ready for the next show! It took 3 years to put the 34K on it now it will take forever to get to 100K.

 

i bought my scion for a daily driver (i drive a big lifted jeep), but now i find myself playing with my scion more then my jeep

 

unless they are for shows, most people don't buy xb's without intending to use them as daily drivers. the whole point of a pleasure car is that it isn't practical for using everyday, but the xb just oozes with usefulness. lots of room, comfortable, high mpg. the pleasure car is something that isn't very high in those catagories, but excels in other areas.

 

I wish i had two cars. Mine is two years old and has 56,000 miles so far.

 

3 years, 29,000 miles, and that was after using it a DD for a couple years. In the past year I have put around 5k on it. Now it sits in the garage a good five days out of the week.

Honestly, I don't have anything special, but I only live a few blocks from work, so I usually ride the bike.

I do have a tertiary vehicle, an '82 Toyota Pickup, but that's for Sunday drives.

 

I live in the middle of Time Square and have the xB as a (for the most part) weekend-only car. I've had it maybe 18 months now and I'm up to like 16,300 miles on it or so....

The trips I've taken with her: NYC to Atlantic City, NYC to New Hampshire - and that's about it. I take it out to the end of long island sometimes which is like a 200 mile round trip...

but this is such a fun car to have on the weekends and just get away from the city. i work fulltime + go to school parttime so I rarely drive.

The busses and trains here in nyc get me around!

when my school is over (in another couple of weeks), i want to drive up to canada, washington DC and new hampshire to visit fam... couple this fun car along with my touch screen laptop that i use for music + movies + navigation - you have the ultimate road trip car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^^^Enjoy the trip to Canada. They go gaga over xBs. It freaks them out.

 

Nope. I have motorcycles for fun . . . .The xB is all about droning for me. To work; back home. To a store; back home. BOOOORING. Of course, having such a sweet leetle car to drive when I can't motorcycle makes those boring times fun too!

 

This is so true. Went to Toronto a few weeks ago and was bombarded with questions everytime I came to a stop!

 

Still have the car I was driving before the xB--a 1988 (I think) Chrysler New Yorker--and sometimes will still use it for going places I don't feel comfortable leaving the xB. But that Chrysler wouldn't be good for long trips nat this point, which is why a more reliable car was needed in the first place.

 

My Scion is my "other" car to daily drive that's why I bought it. My Dart and Daytona are my pleasure cars tucked away in the garage.

 

My RS4 is my daily driver one day when I win the lottery she's gonna be a show car and I'll have an 08 for a daily driver...hmm speaking of lottery...today is 7/7/7!!!

 

I drive my other car when there is a situation wen driving the xB could become dangerous... (going to a sporting event, going into down town orlando) things like that.... the xB also sits at home for roadtrips that arent for carshows...

 

I drive the xB straight into the jaws of doom. Yeah, it might get scratched or keyed or banged up, but that's what insurance is for. The xB screams city car to me. I take it to downtown, sporting events, flea markets, everywhere... it's so compact, parking is always a squeeze, if not a breeze.

 

My xB is daily drive for sure. If I want fun, I will ride my motorcycle.

 

I have a company car, so the xB isn't really used that much. I only put an average of 285 miles per month on it.

 

I used to drive it too much , so i got an 84 pickup as my work commuter.
