Of a 2011 Army Rock Metallic 5 speed xB! My local dealer didn't show anything on their online inventory so I went up to ask a friend who works there and they had an auto and manual on the lot. The color is awesome in person and coming from a WRX I really like the interior and overall feel of driving it. I lost a bit of power but gained a lot of comfort and utility. I was very surprised the base head unit had full iPod control capabilities when using the USB cable.

I will try to upload pics soon, although I think there are some floating around here.

WRX to a XB is a major downgrade why would you do that,not that the XB is bad but just curious,pictures speak louder then words

What year wrx did you come from? And why did you change?

If I came from a wrx to a xb, my answer would def be uniqueness. It gets annoyings seeing alll the wrxs around.

I came from a Trek Mountain Bike to an Xb. Huge increase in comfort for me, sadly thought my mpg dropped a ton, the cup holders make up for it though.

1994 Astro Van to My 08 xB


....Oh man I miss that van hahahaha

My reason for switching was to get my monthly costs down in gas, payment, and insurance. I had a 2007 WRX Limited Wagon and while it was very nice looking it was just more expensive then I wanted right now. The only thing I miss are the leather seats and turbo, other than that I completely love the xB.

I can't believe it didn't come with floor mats but I hear that is fairly common on most sub $18k cars. Any good suggestions for either carpeted or all-weather mats?

Pics are coming, I'm waiting for the sun to shine on it to give a good idea of the color, it is hard to photograph. EDIT: Let's see if this works.

I went with the Scion mats for summer and the WeatherTech mats for winter.

^^ What he said.

Cheapest place I know of for Scion floor & cargo mats:

Buy the 2008 mats, they're all the same, but for some reason they sell the 2008's cheaper ($113 for all 5 mats).

WeatherTech has 2 versions of all-weather mats, depending on the level of protection you want:
Basic all-weather http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...1142&Year=2008

Full on FloorLiner http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...1142&Year=2008

i have the weathertechs.

scionguy87

Thanks for the replies, are the Weathertech's listed in the link the exact models? It looks like they are fairly universal but I just wanted to make sure they fit right.

XBinRochester

Yes they are the exact model. I have the Deluxe Model (2nd one) and they worked great this past winter. Highly recommended!
