Yea so I live in Indiana and of course we dont have Scion yet......but my fiance lives in Lewisville Texas which is right outside of Dallas......well I forced her to go with me to the local dealership to test drive......first impressions I thought the ride was great and comfortable I really dont see any problem with the stock suspension like everyone says.....In terms of power I was very surprised...yes I read all about the amount of power for such a low horsepower car.....it was nice and comfy.....It has totally solidified me going to buy a xB either go to West Virginia or wait till June.....I cant decide what to do between those 2.....now I know I have finally decided that I will be getting the Camo green....I saw the Thundercloud grey and it was to bland.....I loved the blue too but my fiance and I both like the green the best....there you go that is my impressions

man i cant wait to see a camo one in person (MN)

i test drove one the other day here and i didnt like the suspension too much. just felt like it could be better. for being so high, i could still feel alot of the bumps in the road. felt pretty similar to my lowered integra. but i was still happy with the overall quality of the ride. the one thing i really didnt like at all, were the stock seats. i couldnt get comfy in them at all.

What do you mean bland about the thundercloud color i thought it was metallic? Thundercloud is my pick for now until i see them in person. Lets hope i like it when i see it cuz my whole set up is based around getting that color. I was gonna ask about the seats to when i saw they were sport seats. There were seats in the ford focus that on the edges they curved around you and i found that not comfortable. Is that whats in the scions?

I think what would help with the Thundercloud would be a darker taillight housing....the whole clear doesnt do well for the Thundercloud.......

Thats on my list of things to get already. I dont like the blurry clear tail lights either. What about the sport seats comfortable for lounging or no?

:D The xB I test drove this weekend was awesome. I'm going to order mine in Black Cherry Pearl, though... I want something that will really stand out. I'm going to rent an xB from the dealership this weekend and go out of town with it. I can't wait! :D

you get to rent one from the dealer, man thats awesome!!! i should try to do that some time to see if i like driving it for a long period of time

as for as sport seats go, i dont know if i'd consider them that. i'm sure someone who owns a xB can give a better understanding on the seats then me, but from what i could tell, no you cant really lounge in them. i like to sit back a little bit when i drive, it just seemed like the distance of the seat to the steering wheel and pedals was weird. plus the seats just arent that great. i had some tenzo buckets in my teg and i know those things arent the best quality, but i loved the way they felt on my back after a long drive. but hey, they're more important "mods" to do then seats imo, like suspension/wheels and a bad ___ audio setup :lol:
