I never had a problem w/ my xB. This is one of the most reliable vehicle that I ever owned. My average mpg is about 30. My only complaint is the lack of a armrest, plus the power of the engine. The xB however has lots of room when chairs in rear are folded. A couple of times I haul sound equipment such as speakers and amplifiers, P/A system. At one time, I helped my buddys wife' bridal shower and haul her gifts in my xb. We put alot of stuff in it. There was like 150 items or such. The best changes on my xB was the rims I bought 2 months ago. Finally my TCM didn't look like the other TCM's on the road.
To celebrate my 1 year anivesary w/ my xB, I bought a pair of bB emblems as a final mod for my xB till next year.
