hey newbie here thinkin bout getting the xB soon and i was jus wondering what you thought about the stock power. seeing how 108hp is not a whole lot do you guys ever feel like it just wont move as fast as you want to? im not sayin this is a racers car, its a show and i know that but i dont want to be stuck with something that wont even go when i need to. and then again i know theres lots of engine mods out there to improve power but i jus wanted to know what you think of the stock engines. ty.

 

Do you by any chance know how much this car weighs? The amount of HP doesn't matter if the car is the right weight, and the xB is't too much a a pig on the scale. The Lotus Elise only has 180 hp yes it can run 12 second quarter miles. HP isn't everything.

That said, it's never had a problem with needing to go as fast as I need too in my xB. It's not fast, yet not slow - I'd say it's pretty peppy.

Also, lease refer to the "POWER HUNGRY" forum for these kinds of questions: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=6

 

the power to weight ratio is good. the scion line was not meant to a racer, so it is fine.
