Default Hi I'm a big fat guy! 5'9" 403lbs!

The nice people over at the tC Forum gave me site. I was wondering if there's any other heavy set people that have xBs.
I saw one at the State Fair of Texas and fell in love! It was on display. I got in it and it seemed to fit I like the cloudy silver color.

I have a simple question is Scion pronounced like cy-on or scone?

Sigh-on

I don't own an xB, but from my experiences with the ones at the dealer, they have a ton of space.

Welcome to the site, damn you are a big fella! The cloudy colored one is "Thunder Cloud Metallic" or TCM. Again welcome!

thanks fo the welcome! my friends call me tiny! (Just kidding) Ive been fat since I was 13 years old one day I was a Skinny mini and the next I was a rolly polly. My dad was recenty killed in a gun battle at his "Tote the Note" lot and he left me with several thousand dollars so I thought I would sell my saturn and get a new car I have narrowed my choices to three The Xbox the Element or a mini cooper The only thing I like about the element is that you can call it "E" for short kida like Elvis. and Im afraid i wont be able to get out of the mini. so Im leaning toward the xbox Theres a ton Of info here so Im going to read all the threads and i will talk back to you gius later!

The Element is a larger, roomier vehicle.

I'm 6' , 250lbs. There is plenty of space for me. When I first test drove the xB, the back seat area really surprised me by it's size.

It's pronounced Si-on.

And yes, you will fit into an xB comfortably. I've never seen a car with so much head and leg room. Seriously!

The only thing you may miss is a center arm rest. I don't miss it. They are available aftermarket, though.

Go to Scion.com and do your homework before buying. The no haggle pricing makes it really easy if you know your stuff. Go bone stock if you can and get anything else you want later, it's much less expensive, and you'll still have your stockers to keep or sell. Try to go to a recommended dealer from the dealer review section on Scion Life. Also, check this website and/or ebay for barely used xB's. You can get an awesome deal on one with low miles, and mods and upgrades already done. And if you like the the Hot Lavas as well, you can find used ones. Or wait for the 2.0 due out soon!!


Good Luck!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad.



Step away from the Element!! Way too much plastic and overpriced.

Forget about a mini. No headroom and have you seen the back seats? The end of the seat is about 2 inches from the back of the front seats. A tiny child couldn't even fit their legs there.

Homegirl's not joking. I know someone who went to look at a mini cooper with their 5 and 8 year old kids. They were super cramped in the back seat.

You should be fine in the xB.

I dont mean to be rude and it is probably a retarded question but would a "heavy set" person cause these 108 hp cars to go slower?

6'3" & 298.. which is WHY we bought the box.. tons-o-room, great mileage and less plastic. The "E" has 160 hp but doesnt feel like it being over 1000# more, only seats 4 and the door configuration makes it a nightmare for back seat passengers to get in/out of in tight parking spaces.

No need to lie. Extra weight will make your car go slower no matter how many hp the engine has. It doesn't matter if it's a box of records in the back seat or a fine female in the front, weight is weight and it makes you go slower. No reason not to buy the car, just a fact.
