Ahhhh but then that is the nature of cars unless you keep them for 20 years and who know what we will be burning for fuel in 20 years from now... On the other hand if you made it go really fast or get a lot higher gas mileage then you would have something that someone might want to pay for. I for instance changed my engine lube to Synlube at 3700 miles and now I have a better running cleaner burning quieter running engine that gets over 40mpg all the time and into the 50's often when I don't have to keep stopping and does not require any oil changes for 150,000 miles and should last over 250k if it doesn't rust out by then. There is plenty of room inside, it handles well and can cruise over 400 miles on a 10 gallon tank of regular . . . what more do you want?

My choice would be the Soul. They are both pretty cool, but it's that stupid rear cargo door on the Cube that gets me. I just can't see driving down the highway with a roll of carpet or something hanging out the back of the Cube with that rear door open up to traffic like that. With the xB or the Soul, and the up swinging door, it's not such a problem.
The Cube is kind of less of a utilitarian vehicle for that reason, IMO.

I drove a Cube and would prob get one if sumthing happened to my xB. They look great w/ the factory body kits and some 18" wheels. It made a real good first impression on me.
I like the brown color and moss green. This is one like off cubelife

I'm at 115,000 miles, and next week I'm getting rear hub spacers, new tires for the 17's, first set of rear brake shoes, new Monroe shocks, I'm putting the Energy Suspension bushings in......
I got my car Dec. of '05. It's been paid off since Oct. '06, I put around 70 miles on it per day with my new job. I'm driving this till the wheels fall off too.
Sure, I would like to go out and buy a new car. I love the smell of them. It would be faster. I would have paint on the front of the car, and there wouldn't be scratches and chips all over. But I'm not. I'm too cheap, I like going to Scion events, there are still things I want to do to my car, and I still like the practicality of the car.
Good luck.

I wasnt impressed with either... With my box finally being paid off I have been looking around for a daily... the second gen is just a little too bulky for me to enjoy, the xD just doesnt do it like it first it... The soul has none, and the cube is a little whacky, even though that is what drew me to the xB in the first place...
