Default question about xB

Has any owner of the xB took their scion on a road trip that is more than 450 miles where they are driving an average of 85-95 mph?

does the car feel underpowered at these speeds?

does it have any power left for passing?

Does the automatic downshift well?

does the car seem to overheat?

what kind of fuel economy do you get at these speeds?

what speed is the engine roatating at? with the manual transmission? with the automatic transmission?

does it feel like the car is floating or is about to tip over if a good wind hits it?

does the car have a lot of wind noise at these speeds?

how do these cars perfrom in regions with steep hills?

Is the automatic good in hilly regions?

do the headlights keep the road well lit?

how does the car handle?

Have any of you triggered you TCS before?

I read that the scion has a weak air conditioner and that there is only one light inside and that it leaves the car kind of dark at night. Is this true?



*sorry for the idiot questions, but i am really interested in an xB with automatic and wuld luv one*

why don't you go drive one at night at a dealer near the highway?

Honestly I do not know what to tell you because one persons opinion is usually going to be different than yours... I am probably going to get another xB for the wife which will be an auto it has enough power IMHO but honestly the 5-sp is just pimp so there is no way I could pass it up..
