Just wanted to see what you guys have found on your XB that you do not like, ie. no armrest, ride quality, power, etc...

I have not bought one yet, but most likely I'll be getting one soon.

 

the fact that the roof gutters dont work right....if there is water on the roof and you have the window open and stop the water runs into the window onto the window control switches...fried my switches yesterday because of it....i usually make sure that the windows are closed until i stop a few times or get up to speed so the water runs off the back but i forgot to yesterday...other than that im happy

 

never had problem with water ,my only complaint is no armrest,which is no big deal they sell plenty of aftermarket ones,besides that it's a great car buy one ,i still enjoy driving it like it was the first day i got it

 

Other than wanting more power at times, I'm thrilled with the car.

 

I wish I had an armrest and I don't care for the cup holders. I don't normally carry the size cups that would not move around in that big hole.

 

wish the ride wasn't so bumpy(good excuse to get lowering springs)

 

power.

 

armrest,visors(wish they had lighted mirrors)and no oil pressure or water temp gauges,engine needs a bigger displacement.Really though I am VERY pleased with my box :D

 

im happy with mine

 

A few small things:
I would have liked more settings/adjustment in the intermitent wipers. I'd have also liked my standard shifter assembly to have been smoother & the 5th gear to have been more overdriven or have a 6th gear. Higway RPMs are too high. And, of course, I wish my xB had more power.

All of my complaints are trivial, though......The car's bad ___ and I'm extremely pleased with my decision to buy one. I recommend one to anyone who will listen.

For the money, you absolutely can not beat the xB.

 

Walat.

But my xB is looking pretty dirty right about now. :?

 

ok first thing I love my box...here is what I dislike
1) no armrest
2) small rear speakers cut outs
3) no sun roof
4) no 6spd
5) need more gauges
6) cup holder placement

But hey nothing is perfect :twisted:

 

Exactly what he said!!!

for the money, you cant beat it!

 

visors are crap, maybe I can find some Yugo visors at the junkyard, they hafta be better than the stock ones! lol

 

1. Overly stiff springs (rough ride)
2. OEM tires: poor grip and noisy ride
3. Thin, easily damaged paint.

Otherwise, it's the perfect vechile for me... I love my xB!

:D

 

Great topic...still researching the xB and wondering if people have the same concerns.

 

1) for my size (5'7") i find it difficult to reach the controls sometimes, especially the rear-view mirror.
2) head unit- no RCA's, and no volume ****.
3) stiff ride for some (I don't really mind it however.)
other than that, I LOVE it. get used to the attention. 8-)

 

I love my box... some above mentioned things are bothersome and to many rattles. My 35 series tires don't help but for a new car there are to many.

 

Other than no power and poor milage because they didn’t install a big enough rubber band under the hood or the key to wind it up, they would have to be:
(not in any order)
No armrest
No front dome or map lights
No rear hatch lights
Poor placement of steering wheel, it could come up and out at a higher angle
Stiff, choppy ride
Extremley overpriced accessory items from the dealer.
Poor sound quality from the factory radio even after upgrading fronts and adding a sub (going aftermaket made a major difference)
Visors should have the small wings to block above the mirror
The sheetmetal is so thin that it dents when you look at it. Not really but I have a dent from a pine cone falling on it!!! :o
No rear disc brakes
And probably a few others that I can't remember right now or haven't discovered yet

 

...you can tilt the wheel. the sound system is well above average on most cars this price from any manufacturer. I don't know what you were expecting, but it sounds pretty damn good to me.
