Default Took Delivery Today

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.

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.

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:
http://parts.donjacobsscion.com/default.php?cPath=53_55
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

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.

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