Everytime I ride on the xB, it just gets better and better. The handling is sweet for a tall and narrow car. The xB has rose past my expectations. I expected coming in buying the car that it wouldn't be fast, the car wouldn't handle as smoothly as others, and that the car looked nice and would be fun to drive. After driving it for a while, the xB is pretty quick and I love the way it handles (better than the Jeep Cherokee, Dodge Dakota SXT, and the Eagle Vision ESI that my parents own(ed)).

Another thing about the xB I love is it's seating, there are so many different positions that you can sit in the driver's seat and you can still be comfortable.

I love it.

I concur! I am a fellow 05 PW owner! PW rule...except on the cleaning part ugh...it rains and its dirty again...damn you Florida! :twisted:

I know how you feel. I just got my car yesterday and drove it to Best Buy and it happened to rain. When I got home, the back of my xB was hella dirty.

I'm liking my xB more and more, and there's hasn't been a week gone by yet where I'm not stopped by at least 2-3 people that want to talk about my xB!

Just got a 10.4" DVD drop-down system installed in my xB. The shop did a pretty good job, installing the DVD player in that storage bin under the HVAC *****, and the door still closes so you can't even see it. They put an infrared sensor right up by the pillar that separates the front and rear doors, up where the plastic meets the headliner. That way the rear seat passengers can still control the DVD player and not have to aim it at the storage cubby where the DVD player is installed. Also got the FM modulator and two wireless headphones. The headphones stash underneath the front seats, and with the DVD door closed, you can't even tell there's a DVD system in there (unless you look where the dome light used to be!). Stealth at it's best! Price for all that was $1K, with a 1-yr warranty on the parts and lifetime warranty on the labor. Not a great deal, but better than most of the deals I've seen around here. My kids absolutely LOVE it!

And to top it all off, I also got a letter from my credit union today, saying I was pre-approved on refinancing my existing xB loan with them. Their rate was 4.95% with a $150 rebate, but the rate I got thru Capital One is 4.39%. Credit Union said they'll match that rate, and still give me $150. I'm going to call Capital One in the morning and see if they'll lower their rate even more. If not, I'll let the Credit Union match their rate and pocket the $150. Man, when it rains it pours (in a good way)!

Go tell him to make a Scion Bike.
You know, very boxy, and in desperate need of a supercharger!

I agree as well I am extremely impressed with the quality for the price. You can't beat it anywhere with any other car. Power is a little more impressive than I expected as well. You can't go anywhere in the box without someone staring or asking ton's of questions about it. So far my overall experience with the box is excellent.

SCIONbrouillard

Pssh... If I went over his house and rang on his doorbell. He'd cuss me out and call me a little punk.

Back to the box. Gotta love it.

Let me reiterate my original statement. The xB drives nice on flat roads, but it's hell driving through the Palisades Parkway in Orange/Rockland County. Roads are ____ty, and the box was uncomfortable due to its mediocre suspension. And let's not forget the uphill driving on that parkway. Jeez.
