Does anyone know how safe the XB's are?

Please provide links (can't find any)

Thanks for your help

 

that is the limiting factor that might not allow me to get a scion. im hoping they are good! ive heard theyve done crash testing, but havent published the results.

 

As far as I know, only the xA has been tested.

 

interesting, I hope they are good as welll

 

side impacts are our greatest worry, I think, I -expect-, but do not -know- anything yet.

and hope never to find out by personal trial


-too bad the xB does not yet offer the option of side air bags. That'd be an option I'd have bought-

 

I haven't seen any crash test results.

My insurance cost more on this than my last vehicle, but it doesn't make sense.

I got rid of a 2004 F150 ext. cab 4x4 and my insurance went UP when I took it off and added my xB

 

it's your money. grill the ins. agent for the reasons why

in favor of an equal or lower rate:

-the xB has no reputation yet as a theft-prone vehicle and probably never will.

-the xB is not fast nor heavy nor more likely to become in an accident

-it's not as expensive as your former truck probably was when new.

was your old vehicle old, depreciated in $$ value? Is your present level of collision coverage higher? that'd count for -a few bucks- there.

details make it possible to figure out wtf they are doing to you. give more details or don't make us wonder why. ask quetions of the agent then please report back.

it's your money and you need to be in control of how and where it goes. simple as that.

 

My insurance fell from my 02 VW New Beetle Turbo

 

I thought you had to perform crash testing before the vehicle is released to the public???

 

I can tell you my insurance will be a good deal cheaper than my 1998 Prelude SH.

 

Last car was RSX-X and my insurance dropped to less than half when I got my box. An old fogey like me (37) is paying $300 every six months for awesome coverage...and that's with 2 tickets

 

it has been tested in japan, and discussed here:

my insurance rocketed too when i got my BCP xB. my camry was grey and since BCP was a little off the red color, i thought that xplained my 1200 per 6 month....ugh

 

The whole red car thing is a myth, at least it is with State Farm (i've asked). I currently pay $408 every six months on my 1998 Prelude SH. My insurance will drop to $328.58 on a 2005 xB.

Just for the record, I'm 26, married, with a multicar, multiline policy.

 

I've got 3 cars on my insurance policy, and I'm paying more for the Scion than the other 2 cars, and those other cars are worth double the price of the Scion.

 

i'm also a statefarm user and my insurance dropped when i switched from my alero to my xB. if anyone's insurance went up, you should vehemently question your agent.

as far as testing, i'm sure the car is safe or else the government wouldn't have allowed it to be released, but we all know are governments idea of safe doesn't meet our expectations.

i want to see the insurance institute for highway safety get there hands on a few of each scion model and test them.
