Scion buyer for life???
Whats up people, its Ian here. What do you think about your scion, everybody should share there comments...whether its dislikes, or likes...lets here what everybody has to say!!! I'm picking my black manual xB up tomorrow!!!
I love my xB, there is nothing else like it out there for the price you pay for it. I can't believe that I still have people asking me questions at the gas station about it. I find it pretty kool though. Yea I wouldn't trade it for anything at the moment, it definitely holds its own, and fits my personality (atleast thats what everyone says).
My Xa was mostly a purchase to rid myself of high gas consumption. The whole process of buying the car was delightfull, and has made a long term Toyota owner out of me. If scion is still appealing when the time comes, YES I'll buy anither one...
My xA was to get myself out of high fuel consumption when I relocated to California.
I'd already owned a Toyota.
I wanted something bigger with a little more comfort and a little more power, buttons, safety.
I'm sacrificing a bit in fuel now but it's still better consumption than my Honda Element.

I started thinking about how I wanted to get a car that was once 20k+ brand new and had it's depreciation and give Euro a shot now.
TRAITOR!

the tc was just a nice daily driver for me. my crx has no ac or power steering. i needed something to drive that was more comfortable. the gas mileage is actually worse in the tc, but have you ever tried driving in thepouring rain on a 95 degree day with no ac?
I love my xA. Ive thought many a time about trading it in. Once for a 05 Acura RSX Type-S, a 2000 Civic Si, a 1999 BMW M3, a 2003 Audi A4 Avant 1.8T, a 2004 VW Jetta GLI, and a 2004 Subaru WRX STi. I thought about it all, but my big thing is autocross, and i love the size of the car, and the look is cool. So everytime i consider buying something else, i throw a mod on there, usually nothing major just something to change it up a little bit. Over the summer, ill prolly end up swapping the engine with something turbo. So that'll keep me happy for a bit. Anyway just my .02 cents on Scion. and also the scene is amazing, everyone helps everyone else out and everyone is good people. Thats another reason im keeping my Scion. You cant go to Scion meets with a Honda or you'd get shot at. And i love the meets.
ive had my tc for bout 6 months. its been fun drivin, but in a yr or so, im handin it down to my lil bro. hes stoked cuz he loves the car. looks great,fun to drive, but doesn't step up in performance.
I love my tc- it's the most powerful car i've ever owned (Had a saturn twin cam and a ford escort before it) and definitely the most stylish (see previous). Just wish the gas mileage was better...

Anyhow....I really like our two Scions. I've owned much nicer and much more expensive vehicles, but the xA and xB just seem to "suit" us well. I love the economy and the styling. Plus it's put me in the best financial situation I've ever been in with a car. I'm going to have my xA completely paid off and it's only going to have about 10k miles on it AND still have about 3 years of warranty left!!!
Im graduating from school, got a job as an accountant, so as long as I can resist the urge to mod the tC, I should be driving an is250 within the year. I love the Scion scene, but I want more luxury in my car. Everytime I sit in my friend's TL, Im sold on luxury.
