That's funny. When did you determine that you get to decide what this forum needs or doesn't need?
I've posted positive links to safety and reliability articles about the XD.
I"ve also posted negative. So what. You only want to read positive things and posts about how someone found a bobblehead or matchbox car that matches the color of their XD?
Instead of attacking me, attack the validity of the article.

Thanks for posting this, and the other thread that was locked. Not everyone here is afraid of reality and think their Scions are perfect. I want to know everything I can about the cars, the good and the bad. It looks like there is a lot of kids on here that don't know what a car forum is for and rather stick their head in the sand. Haha

It could be the similar IPs you're posting from... which the domain of, happens to be part of mr hobo's email address.
People here aren't "afraid of the reality" or sticking their "head in the sand." But people here also don't like to put up with blatant bashing and trolling. With regard to the crash test, if they were significantly different from the US test to the Euro test - something is wrong. As someone else mentioned, that's not normal - especially considering many US tests are more stringent than Euro ones.
I could go on here... but like I said, I think you two know each other, or are the same. It doesn't matter. Neither of you will listen anyway.

you just called out by a ack. Pretty much having two accounts to support the one that is receiving all the bashing.
Even though you're comparing apples to oranges, no one cares because you're arrogant about it. Grow up man. even though you're already 40 yrs old

No, but you drive an equally cheap car, an xB.

It's funny how that thread is also started by hobojon.
Thats my XB. Got an email with a link to this site. I replaced tires 6x and front brake pads 5x and alternator. I use regular oil and change every 20K - 30K. The dry starts from changing the oil too often will kill it. Never changed any other fluids. Still going strong. I never posted to an Xb forum before cuz its just a car to me.
If I would have changed my oil every 3K miles instead of an average of 25K miles since I bought my XB I would have wasted about $6000.00! If I would have changed the oil every 10K I would have wasted about $2000.00. That's crazy! That's not even counting what it would cost to change other fluids which I skipped.

then why are you even in this section?
sorry admins/mods, just curious as to why this person, who has the same IP as the other, needs to be posting here, if they have no further information to contribute to the type of car.
oh, and it doesn't matter that your ISP serves 13 states. YOUR IP is unique to your house/location. My neighbor has the same IP... guess what, his IP number is completely different than mine. Not even same range. It depends on how the node is set up. Since ack called you out as having the same IP, just stop lying already. you're a troller who thinks that he has to cut everyone down for owning this car. go away now, you make me sick.

please work on your grammar, too. it was hard enough deciphering this.
anyways, i raise my point again. if you don't own nor have anyone that owns an xD, nor any experience with one, why are you posting this "info" about the car? you obviously cannot contribute to the proper facts of the car.

P.S.
I think my XB has a 5 speed automatic transmission too. LOL
