so ive made my decision on to which car i wanna trade the tc in for. the xD wins it lol great car small but roomy and i hope it has good MPG but yes the decision is made Super White with black TRD wheels

any of u xD drivers let me know ur pros and cons of the car i cant wait now i jus need to save up for a down payment lmaoo but the decision is made

 

Welcome to the club.

first mod has to be the center armrest... I highly recommend tracking down an iST armrest through e-bay from Japan, although plenty of people have had good luck with the Zeta armrest as well.

 

^ yea i thought about the same exact thing when i thought about the car. does it not come with an armrest? im so use to the tc with an armrest and shifting and keeping my arm there thats sumthing im definatly gonna need

 

You can search and find a number of topics here on the issue, but the long and the short of it is that it doesn't come with an armrest AND although it says in the promo material that it will be an option, it never materialized in the US. Zeta makes an aftermarket one that will cost you around $100-$120 with shipping and there is a JDM one for the iST that you can get from Japan on ebay which will cost you $140+$60 shipping... plenty of positive reviews for both... I went with the iST armrest and am very happy with it.

 

Here's the thread that Andyman started on the subject...

I also went with the iST, and I am very happy with it. It is very stable, and it looks factory. I highly recommend it!

 

the sun visors don't extend when putting them to the side of the window. Pain in the butt when its sunny in traffic. Aftermarket is giving us no real love right now either other then that I get up to 40 mpg on highways and 29 the lowest in the city. My friends are all 6' and all sit comfortably in the back seat. Can't wait til my first oil change so I can start hitting ~6k rpms :D

Best first mods to me would be springs and rear sway. (Especially springs if your going to be on those 18s, ull be as tall as a rav4 without probably.)

 

Are you sure you want to spend $2,000 on 18" wheels? :? You can find much better looking ones for the same price if not a bit cheaper/

Jeff, xravexboix, is attempting (or doing?) a GB for the iST armrest so best bet is to sign up for it if you want to avoid eBay.

I second the rear anti-sway bar, best buy hands down. Even before the armrest!

 

^ the only real reason im getting the black trds is because my friend actually works at toyota and hes gonna include that at no extra charge but if i had to pay 2k NO WAY

and yes the first things im gonna do is center console drop and sway bars and tints and window vent shades

 

I was wondering if the visors on the Yaris (with extensions) are the same size. Don't recall if they have the mirrors or not, but if they fit, it'd be a useful swap.

 

I'll have to look into it on my brothers car. I still gotta see if his gauge pod will fit mine too

 

Congrats on the swap...The xD is a sweet little ride...

 

I traded a supercharged tc for a RS1 xD. It is a decision I don't regret.

 

^ really god i was worrying bout goin from a sumwat powerful car to this but i love this lil car but im torn between flint mica and superwhite for the xd but the decision is made for the xd=)

btw to u xD owners how much did ur xD come out to after taxes and all the fees and such? and how much do u pay monthly

 

tC > xD !!!

 

LMFAOOO im jus tired of all the noises and creaks the tC has. its time for a better Economical car

33MPG>23MPG FTMFW

 

Went from an xB to a 2006 Mustang GT to an xD...I don't regret it either...

 

MY RS1 came out to $20,000 nearly to the penny. I pay $330 a month for it, i put $2K down,and was slightly upside down from the POS cobalt i traded in as well.

god that thing sucked *****. just CHEAP front to back, materials, workmanship...ugh gross. dont get me started.

 

is that highway or city?

 

i went xD too! i miss my tC, but im loving this xD only thing i could really complain and/or miss about the tC is there is no sunroof (oh well) and it feels like u sit so much higher in the xD than the tC but im a sloucher lol dismantling the car is easier than the tC i think
