Default A few xB questions

Well, I just came from liking the tC to liking the xB(dont ask me how). But, yeah, anyway.

1. Are you happy with the box's 108 horsepower?
2. How much did your box cost?
3. What accesories did you get?
4. How far can the box get on a full tank?
5. How much does it cost to fill the tank?
6. How many gallons can the tank hold?
7. What mods do you have?

Thanks,
Flint16

1. Are you happy with the box's 108 horsepower?
I'm a cruiser, so it doesn't bother me. Sometimes I wish it will pick up a lil at stops.

2. How much did your box cost?
With tax and everything, a lil over $18,000

3. What accesories did you get?
2tone paint job

4. How far can the box get on a full tank?
For me, a lil over 200 miles

5. How much does it cost to fill the tank?
Around $15-17

6. How many gallons can the tank hold?
7-8 gals I believe?

7. What mods do you have?
CF OEM Spoiler, CF gas lid cover, CF engine cover, TEIN S-Tech's

it seems like you can find the answers to a lot of this, the box has the toyota echo 1.5L engine and from what I have seen, it delivers between 85-90whp, this is not too bad for the price, the car only weights about 2400lbs so you can get a 0-60 of about high 8s. (correct me if I'm wrong) With the box, it's not a bout power, it's about style I think. I drive a tC, and even though I would never switch to the box, I have grown to like and respect the box. Just to answer some of your other questsion, go to the scion website and you can find the answers to most of these questions you had...this info is generalized on the website, so no one has really posted here yet.

I think I like you KevinxB!

Mods: Tinted windows, black dual projector angel eyes.
Gas: Costs 18 here in ID when the light is on
How far on a Tank: 230+/-
Acc. None, think of it this way, If they are available through the dealer, they are overpriced and tons of people will have them. $300 For a vinyl, HA
Cost: 18K+ after intrest etc.
Power: Yes Very happy, if you get the intake and exaust, it should set you. Unless your power hungry, then get the tC or a WRX

I looked at ALL the "economy" cars before finally deciding on the xB. I've had mine one month now and still very impressed with it. Where else can you find an economy compact car that can carry four people and then transform into a mini SUV like cargo hauling vehicle when needed?

I paid 18k for mine... floor mats, leather interior, auto sunroof.

I get 350 city miles on a tank with the auto transmission and still have 1 gallon left in tank when fuel gauge shows on empty line. 30 to 32 MPG city driving.

Tank holds 11.9 gal... don't know why everyone else is only stating 250 to 300 miles on a tank? I'm light on the pedal though, usually never reving over 4,000 rpm.

My only complaint really with my new car is I wish it had a softer ride. It bounces and jolts you a lot compared to other small cars.

1. Yes, it's sufficient for the car as long as you have a 5 speed. I rarely feel like it's sluggish, unless its filled with people on a hot day and we're climbing hills and even then it's usually adequate.

2. $14,750 with XM radio and rear bumper grip tape as the only options

3. TRD short shift and AEM cold air intake with bypass

4. Around 350 miles

5. Right now, about $20
