Look what I bought the wife!!!

She has been wanting a tC for a while now, so we traded in her vw and bought a brand new 2007 flint mica.

After driving the xB for 2 years this thing is like a rocket ship!!

By the way I was thrilled to get rid of the vw, we never had any problems with it.....but you could feel they were coming.

Kekai, thanks it sure is fun to drive. I was getting on the freeway this morning and had it up to 70+ in 3rd with no prob. I never realized how slow the xB is, at least I can get a speed fix now.

Pretty pair of Scions in the garage now....Very Nice...

And another former VW owner here....

Let's see, I've had the xB since January, got 20K miles on it...the VW would have been in the shop twice now.....

I did love that little turbo, tho...

she had 60k on hers and never took it in for service (other than oil changes) I think we got really lucky, I have almost 50k on my xB and It's just two years old

I haven't had any problems and don't expect to.
