ok i'm thinking about buying a scion, i mean i'm seriously thinking about it, i absolutely love the car and the way it looks, but i wanna hear how you guys like them, i'm a big car guy, i'm building a 400hp jetta right now but i want something for a daily driver and i'm thinking the scion, so is it worth it?
thanks :)

um, its a car.

it drives well,

it is cheap.

seems like it would fit the bill.

Don't forget it's pretty much a toyota, so yeah, why wouldn't it be worth it?

yeah just buy it, if you don't like it , give it to me..

Its perfect for your situation.

i don't even own a scion and i say "GET IT"

If you like it, get it! :D I did!

yeah just buy it, if you don't like it , give it to me..

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I was thinking the same thing.

Go for it!

When you have a low horsepower car like this, you need to change your mindset. I sold my 5.0 V8 Mustang to get a Scion. I just tell myself to "cruise", not punch it and try to outrun everyone just to make a lane change. I'm not saying you can't or that the car won't perform, just that when you are used to lots of horsepower and torque, there is going to be an attitude adjustment.

I love my Scion XA <3

Wow. That's a huge change! :shock: I've thought of doing that with the GTP also but just can't bring myself to it yet. I still love the rush I get from it when I punch it.

I too am building a nice high HP VW ('79 Scirocco) but have decided to go for the XB as a daily driver. I test drove one yesterday and absolutely loved it. it handled great, and had enough pep to make me happy. Although I think i will be getting a turbo upgrade for it eventually:)

yeah i'm not worried abotu power cause my jetta will have plenty of power :) i just want something to replacing the mostly stock jetta to take snowboarding and as a daily driver and a promtional vehicle, the problem is i want black since my company colors are red and black but i hate black cars :( both out jettas are black and they are hell to keep clean

Just go on impulse and BUY! Thats what most of the Scionists have done and haven't looked back! I have a black and get props all the time. Had mine for bout a month: 2 washes + 1 wax. Lookin clean even in the rain!

well the parts are a plenty, if you think you want to modify your Scion, and they are about the most comfortable daily driver I have had... considering my previous rides were 81 Mercedes 500, 79 Camaro, 68 Mustang, 88 Prelude, 00 Focus, 71 Ford Grand Torino, 84 Toyota Starlet.... and a few more... and the xB is my favorite hands down !

That is my situation, I am letting my 98 4.6 V8 Mustang go, for a xB. I am sure I will have to reming myself to cruise also, but damn I will look good in my new RS 1.0!!!!


Doc

I left my 900HP Ford Pinto(TwinTurbo) for my xB... It's not as luxurious but I'll get used to it...Did I mention the Pinto did 0-60 in 4.2 secs(in reverse)?

Hey Urban, you Polish? Who the hell would record a 0-60 time in reverse, although, i must admit, it is pretty impressive :lol:

<=== had nothing against pol's, just making light humor.

From one dubber to another...

Why not ditch the Jetta and make a 400hp xB? It would be insanely quick, and much quicker than the MKIV you've got, even with the same power.

I'm trying to sell mine to get a RS (Release Series) xB in the spring.

Andrew

Yea, I've decided to get rid of both the sho and GTP. They don't have much of the sleeper look anymore. Everyone pretty much knows they can be made to go really fast. Figure my xB will be my new sleeper. Lot cheaper to mod to.
