I don't have my xB yet, but I'll be 47 in June and I'm buying it for my birthday present. I plan to be older than that eventually. That's the goal anyway.

I appreciate the older drivers of the boxes out there, it gives scions an image of class; whereas the civics or integras will always be vehicles that children will play with.

For some reason, I seem to be running into a lot of people in your age group lately who are very mature in demeanor.

This comment doesn't include your wife, but I'm just wondering if the people at work would be willing to buy you the car that would not make you "nuts" in their eyes.

Different is a good thing.

I'm 49 approaching 22, have always felt this way, you younger people enjoy life, when you get here, you wonder where the time went and while you've aged physicaly, you may not feel any different, and that was before my 25 year old girlfriend.

I saw a little old lady in Bentonville, AR driving a TCM xB. She looked like she was 110, but probably not actually a day over 90 or so. She was smiling and looked like she was happy in her Scion. I was in my tC but she didn't seem to recognize it.

Props to old people who drive this box. It's pretty tough to steer at times, and to aim for that perfect parking is tough.

Im 24, and I'm very poor at parking this car in a parking spot. I think i need another driving test hahaha..

I NEVER thought I would hear that the BOX is Hard to Drive or Park . I have Always thought it was Really EZ to do both . The BIG Windows leave NO Blind Spots at all .

The Steering Wheel ANGLE is Different than a REG car though , Its closer to a UPS TRUCK .

It's initially weird getting used to the fact that you DON'T have to swing the car, and that you are practically sitting on the front wheels, so it is a tad different than other cars. . . but these things are so small, it doesn't matter how you park, you should still be in the lines!

I have had my xB for a week now and love it! I'm 51 and this car suits me just fine. It's 'me' with wheels instead of shoes.

Had all the options put on today - carbon appliques, 6-cd changer, 7-spoke alloys, fog lights. My wife likes the carbon so much she wants me to get the carbon spoiler and hood.

AGE is relative!

I am 40 and going thru a middle life crisis I guess, since I bought my Xa and installed leopard seat covers and blast hip hop on the radio. I guess I am going thru my second 20's
