So I've had my xB for quite a while now and I'm actually thinking about getting rid of my wifes Protege5 and getting her an xB? Is it too much to have two?

 

Bookends!

There is a practical benefit. When it comes to diagnostic work the easiest way is to start swapping components until you find the one that corrects the problem.

For the things you can't fix or figure out you have the best response to the standard dealer claim of "that noise is normal". You can then ask them what you should do to your other car to make it "normal" too.

 

seeing as you're on a scion forum, i think most people will say yes

heres my answer: get as many as possible

 

IMO, having the same two cars in the family is a little much, especially if it's a couple thing. If you really like Scions, get her a tC (or xA if you're into that).

 

I have seen a few people with the same car for husband and wife (especially PT Cruisers) and it does seem a bit overdone. The problem is that she needs the room in her car for our baby, so a tc is kinda impractical and I don't think I could have an xA without a bodykit (sorry xA owners). If I could make them look totally different, it wouldn't be bad. She wants a camo and I have a black. That may help a little bit.

 

I would highly recomend gettin another xB and than visiting us at the scion cental again.

 

I think it's cheesy... kind of like his and hers towels or something.

 

if u get another color then thats cool but dont get the same color thats just lame

 

Just don't get matching jogging suits and you'll be OK.

If they made one with another 3 feet of space behind the seat, I'd dump the minivan for another one, but we need something with a little more space sometimes...

 

i'd say get an xa and then pop a cheap body kit on it and then bam you are set. u can get a nice lip kit for like 600-750 and then paint em for like 300 so about 1k and it'd be awesome lookin. DO IT MAN. DO IT!!!

 

Get another! The xB is one of those cars that you just can't get enough of.
Camo and black would be cool, you could cruise on the streets together :twisted:

 

my wife and I both have xB's. It's nice to have another car that everything I buy I know it'll fit if I don't want it. For instance, I've bought some wheels, etc for mine, but I might need to sell mine. Rather than take a loss on the aftermarket stuff, I'll givwe it to the wife. I've had two of the same cars before and like someone said above, when something goes wrong it's really nice to have something to refer to.

 

I would do it in a NY minute!

 

I do love my xB. It's a great car! So you think I should. Another positive, is if I sell my Protege5, I would have a lower payment.

 

I wouldn't buy a second xB. I mean I like mine now but I'm in the process of selling it, and I don't think I'd buy another one.

 

why are you selling? and why wouldnt you buy another?

and yes obz I think you should get another one they are great cars.

 

I've had the same model car as my wife before. The only problem is that neither one was a truck. I would just suggest looking at your needs. If you both need a roomy efficient car since the XB and the Protege 5 have about the same function then go for another XB to reduce your expenses. If you have other needs, you may need to look at other vehicles to meet those.

One very good reason to have the same car is the controls will be the same. I always turn the wipers on in my wife's car when I want the lights on. She always turns on the rear wiper of my XB when she wants to turn on the windshield wipers.

 

On the day my xB was delivered, the couple (husband and wife) right after us were getting "his & her xBs."

I'd say go for it if your wife is really into the idea too (like you imply). RPM

 

I am waiting for the Nissan Cube to come out and then have his and her boxes

 

I like my box, but my '92 accord is a sweetheart above 75 mph. The box is just loud at that speed.

I would say no, One is plenty. Don't you want variety in your driving experience.
