Default thinking about getting xb

i own a fm tc and am thinking about switching to xb. originally i planned on getting the xb. the two moonroofs and horsepower on tc sold me. however, i always find myself thinking if i should have gotten the xb. i just love the inside and outside of the xb. a very unique car.

the only thing that i cant decide on is 5speed or automatic. 5speed is probably more fun but i do a lot of in city driving. i have only 1500 miles on my tc and getting around 22mpg city and highway. GRRRRR i dont know what to do. i am just rambling.

If you had got the xB you'd be wishing you had the tC. You'd be complaining about lack of power and no moon roof and wishing it were more aerodynamic.

The only thing to do is have BOTH.

Then if you get an xB with a stick, you'll want the automatic. TOOOO much shifting all the time. If you get an xB with an auto, you'll want the stick. No fun if you can't shift.

The only thing to do is have BOTH.

Wow, there you are with a tC and TWO xBs. I think I'm jealous!

-Don (liking that his xB with a stick is PERFECT in every way ;^)

A word of advice. Make sure you get a $0 duductable on glass. I'm on my 5th windshield for my XB.

keep the tC and buy an xB to be fair.
