If you get an intake you can either get more power with a cold air or get better response with a short ram intake. Some people made their own short ram intake from spectra parts. So it will be the cheaper of the 2.

I agree! I never looked at Scions since they first came out with the B I will have to admit my car is very roomy yet cute. I was hoping to find some local groups to meet up with so I can learn more about it.

I never looked at Scions either. When I bought mine in May I actually was trying to buy a Kia Soul but the guy at the dealership wasnt willing to work with me so I just happened to stop buy the Scion dealership bc it was on the way home. The next day I picked up my xD! Lots of people talk crap about the car until they ride in it and then they are like ooooh wow this is nice!

My younger friends always ask why I didn't get 17/18/19" wheels. My 14lb, 16" konigs save rotating mass, and allow for extremely cheap tires :D

People make statements that it looked like a mini copper on steroids. But my boyfriends is 6'7 and I was worried he wasn't going to fit well in but he does actually.

I do wish the seats went down because sometimes I feel like I sit so high that if I get up on the line I can't see the light change and I am only like 5'5 lol.

The fact that Scion/Toyota it should last a long time I had an ex that had an 93 I think Celica and it had 200,000 miles on it and ran like a charm.

The only gripe I have about the car so far is the seats could be a little more comfy. I've been on two long road trips this summer and both times I was like aaaaaaaaah these seats suck.

the car does make you sit up lol. even the shifter is odd (if you have 5spd).

my boyfriends is 6'7 and I was worried he wasn't going to fit well in but he does actually.
im sorry, but i must. that's what she said lol
