What DON'T you like about your xB?
 
Later this week I am meeting with a marketing research company regarding what we xB owners like and dislike about our cars. We all agree on what we like. Please, however, in the next 48 hours, send me any messages about what you don't like and why. Please keep your responses short as my time is limited. Toyota needs to and wants to know what should be improved. Thanks

I dislike when I get stuck behind one in my TC.

They need to be faster.

Horsepower, all the little noises inside. no cruise control needs better overdrive system

aera 09-27-2005 01:45 PM

yeah the horsepower

pdxbubba 09-27-2005 01:55 PM

I thought it should have a much better turning radius!

Prototype_xB 09-27-2005 02:03 PM

cruise control, bigger engine

MyLilXBox 09-27-2005 02:17 PM

center arm rest or console

xB360 09-27-2005 02:20 PM

I dislike the fact that the alarm has no valet mode and you cannot turn off the automatic arming. I also think there is a more appropriate place to put the IPOD connector.

aera 09-27-2005 02:24 PM

i dont like the material the dash is made of the little hole things are such a pain to keep cleanand the center console sits to low i dont like how much of the shifter shows reminds me of like a pick up trucks shifter or something

Ugh, I hate cleaning that dash. Dust and crap gets stuck in those holes and its a pain to get out.

More brighter color chioces, cruise control in steering wheel, cubies or comparments in back seat area ( have 2 kids) also adjustable seatbelt hieght in back seat ( also for the two kids :D ).

I would say horsepower but then I drive by a gas stationa nd think it has plenty of power. I would put a light int he cargo area since the back seats, when upright, block light from the dome getting to the cargo area.

aera 09-27-2005 03:28 PM

one of my friends wants the hatch glass to open withh out opening the hatch like in the suvs

Survey
 
Dome or map light for front seats, All wheel Drive option for those of us in snow country, Better sound insulation, Cruise control, Arm rest, better quality floor mats, better quality windshields.

Thanks!

the gear ratios have to be changed on the manual. 5000 rpm at like 70 miles an hour come on....

Fujiz_xb 09-27-2005 03:53 PM

its a thieve target. almost got jacked the other day..

besides that.. um.. yeah i suppose the horsepower.

UnFocused 09-27-2005 03:54 PM

More like 4000 RPM @ 80, but i see your point

Yes! Need a 6th gear for highway. But I wouldn't want any changes if the price goes up significantly. The pricepoint and standard features are key, thats what sold me.

hayalex6 09-27-2005 04:05 PM

I dunno about the RPM's, I mean, the powerband is right in that area, so I guess you have the best power to accelerate to pass people.

Iptuous 09-27-2005 04:07 PM

better OS handles (they feel cheap) and visors (preferably with pull out extenders so it can cover more than half the side window, a usable size mirror, and not the cheap thin plastic coating)
