Default Picked up my Xb today.

So i have debating if i should trade in my 2004 Golf .:R32 for an Xb, and not many dealers in socal have any. But today i got off work early and took a stroll down to the scion dealership in Glendora, CA. They had just recieved 8 Scions and had the exact one i had wanted. I took a test drive, loved it, talked over a few things inside, and i am now an Xb owner. Everybody at Toyota of Glendora was very helpful and made my car buying experience awsome. thank you everybody for your help and i look forward to being a part of this forum.

Default Same Here

I had the same experience here in the metro Atl area with Hank Aaron Scion. Buying my Xb was easy, I enjoyed every minute of it. Great to hear out in Cali the same things going down. I too just joined the forum a couple of weeks ago. Welcome.

I curious too how you feel jumping from a pretty fast and nimble car to the xb. I just found the forum tonight and was searching for posts exactly like this. I love the xb styling and all the room it can provide for hauling the dog and guitars, but my current car is a Integra Type R and I'm not sure if I can handle the power loss.

well, this is now going to be a tuff subject to talk about. I loved my r32, for sure the best car i have ever had the chance to own. you cant compare the cars, but i have gotten use to the power loss, you kinda have to when your car is already gone. I like the xB though, its a real fun car to drive and very economical. I am overall satisfied with my trade, and really enjoy this forum. people seem alot nicer in here than the volkswagon forums, but i cant wait to start modding my new xB. so show me some pics of your xB's......come on lets see em!!!

You are calling me stupid when you have no idea why i traded my r32, do you think i didnt love that car to death??? I have my reasons, and thats that. I put about 30,000 miles on it and it had zero problems.
