Picked up a 15 xB 5 speed manual with 3,800 miles a few months back, I've put about 8,000 miles on it so far, thoughts... comfortable, with the back seat down carrys enough, headlights decent, seems to be a decent car I can rack up miles on,
my previous car was a VW Passat TDI that would easily get 48-50 mpg and 800 miles per tank but the EPA didn't like it so... I guess I'll fill up every 300 miles now
Anyway... hello all

Welcome. I keep the rear seats folded all the time and I put rubberized carpet mats down to protect the seat backs. Who needs an SUV when the xB has 70 cubic feet of cargo space ?

WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

1) yeah, i drive 90% city and i fill up more often than i'd like to admit. xb dash says i am geting 22-24mpg and it sucks. tons of stop and go traffic in my normal driving.

2) i agree with crimson on the space of the xb - exactly the reason why i haven't gotten an suv. i recently moved and used my car to do the entire move myself - with the exception of the beds/couches at my old place. i hired a company to move that but it was very affordable bc i did a bulk of the move myself.

anyway, enjoy the new ride! awaiting pics of your ride :D

I fit this in my xB while it was still in the box. Was fun unloading by myself.

Yep, I keep the back seats down and this box can carry stuff for sure, I'm planning a class 1 hitch when the weather warms up, have a 4x8 aluminum utility trailer for hauling mulch and garden supplies home and occasionally to drag my Honda rancher to some atv trails
With the amount of miles I drive and what I'm going to do with this box, I have a feeling it's going to live a hard life... hope it's up to the task

Welcome to the club!

Are you planning on doing any mods?

Not planning any mods to the xB just keeping it stock, all mods are done to the bug in my avatar starting with a 1915 and duel carbs and a mofoco performance trans, fun bug to drive

any mods on yours?

Love the Voodoo Blue.
