If the title didnt say it all Il say it again, in all aspects of each cars what one do you think is better for just cruisin on the freeway, stop'n'go traffic, etc., etc.?

 

I think that's a dumb question to ask since you are on a Scion forum...of course the xB...
I hear there are too many problems with the Minis...

 

I think the cars are too different to compare. W/ the xB, you get room for 5...comfortably. Mini gives you room for 4...barely. xB=tons of storage. Mini=not so much storage. xB offers decent pep and handling. Mini is quick and on rails. xB is -$15K brand new. Mini is +$20K used. I'm sure all of this was obvious, so I appologize for wasting your time. Both cars are definately unmistakable (aside from the occasional jerk who calls the xB an Element ). I think the xB would be more comfortable for everyday driving.

 

Plus, it's gotta be a lot easier getting in and out of an xB.

As far as pep goes, the xB could be peppier in the passing department as far as I'm concerned. But that might just be because I drive an auto.

 

had this happen...just told him "Hey Bevis!......... The Element is...... ROUND!!!!!

 

i have both the mini and the xb there both fun cars i wish i would have gotten the mini S but i have the sports suspension and it rides nice and tight also the stereo system is really good, i also think that its better in gas although it only take 93 octain. i have an auto so the trany is really strange... it acts like a stick but it is a 6 speed auto which is kinda cool too, it has 6 airbags driver, passenger, curtians, and knees. the down side is that its slow. and the space isnt all that good. but i would rather drive my box over a mini anyday
