i have had my 2005 scion xb for just around 4 years now. it was purchased with a little over 69 thousand miles, and it is now at the 150 thousand mark. i will be honest.. i do drive it pretty aggressively almost all of the time.. and i will admit ive done my share of clutch dumps and tire spinning, and even pulled the e brake a few times and slid around (always in empty parking lots).. and it is running exactly the same as the day i purchased it. i have probably put more of a beating on it than i should have, and it has never had any mechanical issues what so ever.

i have had problems with the speedo not working, and the paint on the front bumper chipping, and even hit a deer head on going 50 mph and it LITERALLY didnt even scratch my bumper.. the deer was thrown across a median and over 2 lanes before it even hit the ground.. and the xb didnt even care.

this is the best car i have ever had the opportunity of owning and am proud to be driving it. i love it. i keep saying i am going to buy an evo next year, but i think im going to have to buy a 2nd gen xb instead.. im hooked.

 

going to get a RS version?

 

i really want to get the rs7. i think it is by far the best looking. it looks so good stock. i would just want to lower it and get a loud exhaust, and give it a real good stereo system.

 

Shawn I am gonna agree on the 7.0 I almost got one

 

yea think i would rather have that one too. the only thing about my 6.0 is the gril and red paint lol
