hey everyone

what would you like to see in a next generation xB?

i would like to see a Hybrid engine myself...

how about you?

scionara · 09-05-2003, 03:37 AM

I wish they brought the AWD version of the xB from Japan. I would have bought that over the 2wd version. That would make a complete all around vehicle.

awd version of the xB is much more logical and something that could actually happen.

well, i am waiting to see how the traction control works when i get somewhere where it might actually be needed.....

btw, do any of you drive with the traction control off?

scionara · 09-05-2003, 04:17 AM

Normally I leave the traction control on but when i feel like smoking my tires, then it comes off.

I think an awd manual transmission would be fun. If you got a lot of power it would be viscous in these little cars!

if not a hybrid, then a turbodiesel like Volkswagen

I hear of all these people turning the traction control off... how do you do it? =P

Sorry, but I never recieved my owner's manual, so there are still a few thigns I have yet to learn about my xA.

Definately..."The beauty of All Wheel Drive"....I wish I could say this for the Scion!

I would totally dig a hybrid tho, like the new 04 Prius engine, its supposed to be more economical on gas, and have way more hp. I don't really have any practical use of AWD, in comparison to the daily benefit of less gas consumption, unless it rains.

Subcompact Culture · 09-05-2003, 02:13 PM

I put other. While AWD is nice for bad weather, it saps power because of driveline loss and extra weight.

The only thing I'd like to see is more power. Give me 120 hp at least! My 1992 Mitsubishi Expo at least had 113 hp … AWD was an option, too now that I think about it.

you push the button on the left side of the dash that says Trac Off or something like that....

then you should see the trac off lite on the display...

Don't look too hard though...the xA doesn't come with traction control! They only put that and the VSC in the xB. The Scion execs said something about how they were expecting the xB drivers to be more aggressive behind the wheel, but what do they know?

avus · 09-06-2003, 03:51 AM

simple
More Power with a 6 speed

Mr_scion · 09-06-2003, 02:48 PM

So, because my xA doesn't have traction control, in a sense it's always off? No wonder I've spun em so much starting from steep hills =P
