About a week ago Winding Road e-zine (http://www.windingroad.com) posted an article about their long term testing of the xB. That's the May issue, BTW. I'd post it here, but it comes in PDF format and I can't get it in text format. Maybe someone else is more clever with that sort of thing.

 

Thanks for the heads-up xA-llent.

I chopped out the four pages since I couldn't copy and paste the text with Adobe Pro. Please click on the thumbnail below. Kept it at 70% jpeg, but 56k still beware.

 

"Feel" SSP and super-secret xA stereo mode FTW. Windingroad, you must have missed out.

 

Not a bad article, but we already new it was a good car...

 

good article they hit the nail on the head. Although it sounds like much of their "maintaince" cost was due to driver error (i.e. not avoiding road hazards) They nailed a lot of the benefits of the car though, I've used it for filming and it's a great platform to shoot out of. And you won't find another car as reliable, practical and economical with the amount of personality and character as the 1st gen xb has.

 

they forgot to say that is waas the sexiest thing they have ever seen

nice article! but now we got NEW xB2s on the way.... time to start all over again

 

Winding Road just released a new article on the '08 xB.
