btw, do any of you drive with the traction control off?

Sorry, but I never recieved my owner's manual, so there are still a few thigns I have yet to learn about my xA.
I would totally dig a hybrid tho, like the new 04 Prius engine, its supposed to be more economical on gas, and have way more hp. I don't really have any practical use of AWD, in comparison to the daily benefit of less gas consumption, unless it rains.
I put other. While AWD is nice for bad weather, it saps power because of driveline loss and extra weight.
The only thing I'd like to see is more power. Give me 120 hp at least! My 1992 Mitsubishi Expo at least had 113 hp … AWD was an option, too now that I think about it.

then you should see the trac off lite on the display...
Don't look too hard though...the xA doesn't come with traction control! They only put that and the VSC in the xB. The Scion execs said something about how they were expecting the xB drivers to be more aggressive behind the wheel, but what do they know?
