So I get my new Road&Track magazine yesterday and right there on the cover is the xB nameplate listed as one of the most fun automobiles. I'm proud of my xB, but I was even more proud when I saw what kind of company it keeps. In the "Fun Factor" article, it was listed as one of the most fun automobiles alongside 11 other revered cars such as:

BMW M3
Chevy Corvette
Dodge Viper SRT-10
Ford Mustang GT
Lotus Elise
Merc-Benz E55 AMG
Porsche 911 Carrera S
Porsche Boxster S
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Dodge Neon SRT-4

My father-in-law gets Road&Track and he owns a Boxster S and has owned an M3 in the past. Now I can look at him with a straight face and tell him "The Box really IS fun to drive."

I just bought a house on the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula and had to get rid of my 2004 Corvette Z06. Thankfully I found a 2.0 box. After adding the Hotchkiss stage 1, I can say with certainty that the Xb is a fun car to drive. Sometimes I forget that I do not have the 405HP of the Vette, but the box is an absolutely fun driver.

truthfully i think toyota/scion pays those magazines to give thier biz away! come on seriously how fun can it be to drive a scion verse a dodge viper srt-10 and those other off the wall cars!

Nah, I think they're looking at it as being fun because it's such a different ride. I test drove lots of cars before deciding on the xB, and ended up with the box mainly because it was so much fun! It belongs on the list, definitely.

It is definately fun to drive, it may not have a ton of power but it takes the corners like it is on rails.
