Auto Crossing
I've autoxed all three Scions. The xB is the least competitive of the three but it is still a lot of fun.
The xB has at least two obvious short comings a higher center of gravity and the VSC. The VSC is a little intrusive when you are really throwing it around.
To get the best times you will have to learn to drive just with in the limits of the VSC since you can't turn it off like you can the TRAC.
From what I could tell the VSC would work in two stages under most steady state cornering. The 1st stage (applying one or more brakes) isn't to bad. This will happen if you get into a noticable oversteer or understeer situation. The 2nd stage in addition to the 1st stage is the computer will take some of your power away. Not great for going fast. Get used to the VSC light flashing and the VSC beeping a few times during your runs.
No matter what you will have fun. Good luck.

I've autocrossed my xB. (see my profile for a pic).
It did better than I expected. I really wasn't out to win anything, just to have a good time which I did. I've got S-techs, Progress rear bar, 16x7 wheels with sticky tires, and an Espelir exhaust system.
