Hey,

I currently have a 2006 Scion TC. I'm thinking about making the switch to the Xb. I would like to know how smooth the ride is in the XB. The tc is ok in terms of smoothness, but I feel every little bump I go over. That gets really annoying. Also, I'm not impressed by all the rattling I hear when driving and the outside noise while driving. I was wondering if the 2009 XB experience this same type of ride?

Also, I was on Scion.com and personalized my Xb. I got alot of TRD kits. For instance, the brake kit....cold air filter, strut bar, springs, ect. I'm not getting any rims, I will purchase my own. As far the in-dash navi.....is it worth it? Should I buy stock and just look for the items online? Or is it better to get everything done at dealer?

Is there a difference in the ride with all the TRD items included as oppose to stock?

Is the Navigation worth it?

is your friend.

 

i think both cars feels pretty much the same only the xb have easier rear seat access

 

To tell the truth, if the NAV had voice/mic built in on the Scion xB, it'd be fine. I actually like toyota NAV over most other systems, portable and in dash, but that's partly my bias because I play with them all the time and am pretty familiar with them. I think the others look cheap. BUT - the no voice commands and no BT are killers on the Scion deal for me, especially for the money you're putting out there for the system.
