Default I test drove a 05 xB today

So I test drove an 05 xB today and loved it! It was very spacious, very comfortable to ride. I've read people complain it's to slow but I thought it was just fine for my needs.

I'll be buying one for sure in December! I can't wait to meet you guys and roll with you!

it doesn't matter if it's slow if it fits your needs. they are great vehicles to own, just ask anyone who still has theirs.

the people that complain about them being slow, are the people that bought an auto thinking that they in a lambo. i have a stick and it is plenty fast for me i have taken a few cars but still can keep up with most cars on the road and beet alot of them




by the way welcome to the world of scion

I will be buying an AT. I don't trust my wife with my car if she needs to drive it for some reason.


Thanks for the worm welcome. I might meet up with you guys at the next meet even if I don't have my box yet!

I bought my xB today!!!

The link to CarSoup is still active if you want to take a look!
http://www.carsoup.com/used/detail.a...4&From=2&src=2

It already has Halo headlights, CAI, TRD Tail Lights, and I also tinted the front two windows tonight.

I'll post pics as soon as I can!

Probably not. I had a 99 Eclipse Spyder a few years ago dropped and could drive hardly anywhere. Plus my wife didn't like the way it rides dropped. I am planning on doing 18" chrome wheels after winter. Chrome looks so hot on black!

I have an AT because it's the only thing the accessability conversion place was selling at the time. If you feel it's slow, you can always pick up a supercharger or turbo. I have the Greddy supercharger but would reccommend the Greddy turbo to alleviate belt squeal issues. You may need to upgrade to tC injectors and find a tuner, but for 2500 for the kit, injectors and tune, 10 hr to install yourself it really can't be beat for value (go Turbotoyotas for more power, but more $ and install work)
