Default Keep it or move on..

So I've been seriously considering moving into a different car. I purchased the xB because I was going field service work all over Central Florida and wanted efficient car w/ lots of cargo space - aka the xB.

Well since now I just have a commute to and from work, I've been seriously thinking of moving to another car. I love the xB but to make it as "comfortable" as I want (softer suspension, quieter cabin, and so on, I'd be spending a bit to make that happen.

Is it worth keeping the xB or moving onto something else? I'm not listing what I'm interested in but just asking my fellow Scion owners. I went looking at vehicles with a friend this evening and saw 5 xBs in less then 10 miles so I know they're popular and all but its just not what I need/want anymore.

It's not buyers regret but sorta a change in lifestyle since I purchased it.

I think that line pretty much sums up what you should do.. Somtimes in life you have to do what you have to do..

If I can make it not "hurt" financially I will definately do it. I'm still trying to talk my other half into it.
