Yeah, mine was handful driving up to Reno all the time in the rain, the only REAL drawback I could find...

Then I changed tires and WOW. Firm and planted now. I'm not thinking the stock tires are really cut out for wet roads...

You can drive with all the windows open and A/C on and it not make a huge difference in MPG.

I got 192 miles at the halfway mark on the gas gauge, been driving slow.

hello brothers I've had my baby one year today! And I love my car Its the smallest car I fit comfortably in I'm 6"2 and I fit fine I also got two of my cousins which one is 6"1 and the other 6"6 and we all fit nice. and the fact that it only cost me $25 to fill the tank up on premium and its 35mpg plus all of the extract room in the back you just cant go wrong! I got it last year from some rich kid who had gotten a deep gash on one of the doors and he sold it to me for $10 grand and it only cost me $250 to fix the gash and yea its not that fast but I put a long ram Injen intake that gets me like a additional 5hp which I can tell once I hop on the freeway but the space and the gas mileage is what I love and when everyone else is paying $35+ to fill their tanks and we're not! I also have gotten one of my best friends into thinking of buying a first gen XB anyone know who is selling one in the so cal area?

I wish I was getting mine for the first time again, its so awesome.

it makes you hate taking other people's cars to do stuff though, because the xB does it better.

Default Amazing Investment

At first i never knew anything about scions, until i saw a friend of mine with a fully custom xB he bought....I was amazed so i had to get one of my own. I recently bought my xB back in march and it was an amazing automobile. Never trusted toyota brands with the last car i had but the xB is the best car of all time. Not too bad in price, leg room in the backseats are awsome, especially for a guy like me. Me, My girlfriend, and her boys love this car to death and we are going to get another one in the near future, you can count on that. Toyota/Scion/Lexus..Keep up the good work.
