Nope, I would never buy another Toyota product again.
The door panels, Hood, and rear hatch are made out of aluminum cans.
The DEALERS ARE TOTALLY ____ING RETARDED!
And the Customer Service sucks, all the way up the corporate ladder.
The car just seems "REAL CHEAP".
Give me another American Car Please.
We have a Scion XB Hot Lava #0994.
All I can say is JUNK!

Sorry If I offend people, I am just speaking my mind.

Scion belongs to his wife. I like the honesty though. He does drive a Dodge Neon SRT-4. So, he'll spanks the xB silly all the time with the turbo :D

How in God's name could you compare "DODGE" with "TOYOTA"??? Are you kidding??? Dodge's are made with the parts Chrysler throws away. Everytime I see someone driving a DODGE, that's just what i do DODGE them for fear their inability to understand what reliability is will rub off on me. Only one american car that is reliable and that's a CADILLAC, sorry, I love the USA but it's true.

It is 3 Weeks old today, the depreciation would kick my ___ If we traded it back in.
The car now has 1300 miles on it. I give them one thing, it does handle good stock.

My SRT-4 has 35,000 miles on it now and not one problem. I honestly think it will outlast this Scion.

And a Scion is? ? Parts that Toyota throws away?
I have run 15-18lbs of boost on my SRT since day one, and have not had a problem.
Throw a turbo on the Scion and lets see the boost it will handle with stock internals.
You can get about 530 WHP out of a SRT-4 on stock internals of the motor (2.4L)

These are two totally different cars, and in no way comparible. I never was comparing the Scion to Dodge in my post. I was just talking about their quality!

And you should Dodge everything on the road with that 108 HP especially big trucks, the windshields are made out of recycled glass bottles. I chipped our's with a CD, a plastic CD! Talk about cheap! I can break the CD on the windshield of my DODGE.
Maybe that is why these cars are so cheap.

BTW- My wife liked the car and the color and that is the only reason we still have it. She needs to live with it for a Year or Two.

We are on a Scion board for scion enthusiast. Not for people to bash them and call them junk. You said your honest part earlier. That's fine. Go back to your neon board if you want to bash them. It will not happen here. Drop the bashing now or else! See my title.

Im in no way bashing, just speaking what I think the truth is. He asked and im telling!
I would like to find out how these things do in a crash seeing that my son and wife ride in it everyday. I know I wouldn't want to be in a accident in my SRT because the airbags usually never come out in a accident.
Im just wondering how well this does.
I came here to learn more about the vehicle not to talk ____!
I like the forum ****'ism though!
As for your "ScionLife Staff" Position Congrats! You are doing a wonderful job!

Absolutely. Never loved a car (that I owned) as much as I do my XB. :twisted:

Honestly, it's you WIFE'S car!!!!!! Not yours.You really have no right bashing something that you are not the regular driver of. I don't care if you've driven it just as much. And NO a SCION isn't parts thet TOYOTA throws away. It is a TOYOTA, in the same way LEXUS is a TOYOTA. In JAPAN There is only TOYOTA, and thats where these cars are made. Really, all your nonsense talk about what hp your NEON can do impresses no one. You'll find that no one here bought this car becuase they thought it was going to dust every other car on the road. The car costs 13-14,000. A Dodge Neon retails for $21,000!

"...this being a Neon, the cabin materials and design still lag behind cars like the Protege and Sentra." - Edmund's

Really, good luck with the NEON. Really.
