Default Just purchased an XB!

What up folks! Just copped an 05 Blue Onyx Pearl XB earlier tonight. I bought the ride for my significant other and she loves it! It's an automatic (I wanted a 5-speed but figure she will be the primary driver) and came with floormats and cargo net. I wasn't really feelin' the XB until I saw the interior. This thing has more 2nd row leg room than my Suburban! The interior design/space and gas mileage is what sold me the car. The only complaints I have so far are the stock hub cap wheels and the 4x4 ride height. I hope to cure these problems real soon!

Hope to hear from everyone... Peace!

Welcome. I like the ride height, but I agree with you about the wheels.

Good luck with your new xB!

I believe running steelies is basically removing the hub caps and rollin' on the blackies.

I think I'm going to stop by Pep Boyz or AutoZone to buy some spinners.
