Well, I finally test drove an xB yesterday. I was impressed with how well it handled for an econobox. I can see where some suspension improvements and some better tires will make it much better.

I did think the steering ratio needed a little improvement though. It's not horrible, but it could use some help. I noticed that the new Vitz/Yaris has a quicker steering ratio of 15.8:1 which is about a 10% improvement over the xB. Anyone know if this will swap into an xB? Or is there another way to improve the ratio?
