Default My First Impression

Just sat in passenger side while dad testdrove xb, what a good first impression . I'll be going to longo scion next weekend (february 5ish) to get my black sand pearl xb, auto. The auto wasn't as sluggish as people claim - we drove on the freeway as part of the test drive, and we had no trouble mering into a quickly passing 610 nor did we have trouble passing when necessary. I guess it's just preference, but i did notice that when the driver "puts the pedal to the metal" the scion has trouble changing gears, a little slow in this regard; but overall i enoyed riding in it much more than i did the manual we later drove. First mod is going to be some carbon fiber overlays from randode, smoked tail lights via blue batmobile and maybe (if lucky) we will go pick up a wheel/tire combo at local shop.

-Any feedback is positive - please post your feelings you have on these mods, and mroe so, what mods should i get (that are lower tier; nothing expensive), thanks.

The auto learns your driving style, so if you're frequently hitting the gas expect it to have better reaction time after you've broken it in. I've got just shy of 11K on mine and it's reactions are noticably faster that when I first got it.

Interesting, id figure that, but letting the box switch gears and not jamming it to the floor helps i guess, atleast before its broken in.
