that would be hard as ***** to do

 

 

Did I miss something? Who is the 15 yr old kid who is broken hearted because the rear seats don't recline? You?

 

Looking back I did sound really immature.
I apologize. Sometimes I get ____ed when people get their panties in a knot about some simple suggestions.
I'd just like my rear seats to recline like the tC.
I think it'd be cool to have rear bucket seats to match the front ones but that's just my opinion.
As for being the 15yr old kid being broken hearted that's not the case.
That kind of upset me and makes me want to meet you face to face.

Just a misunderstanding dude. I was trying to make sense out of your last sentence, I couldn't tell who the 15 yr old kid was supposed to be, I wasn't trying to be a smart ___. n/m though. Its all good.

 

You're in luck, There are several aftermarket armrests. Just do a search for 'armrest'

 

hallelujah!!!

I posted this same thing once a while back. I'm 6'1 and like to "lean back" but man sometimes my arm's feel like they are in a mid 19th Century torture device. And my elbow really doesn't comfortably reach the armrest on the door, nor my boomerang. Despite the headroom, I don't think the xB was designed for a tall person. Anyone sat in a box with bench seats up front? I guess I'm thankful we don't have this.

 

do u guys think its possible to extend the length that the front seat can go back?? like the slider thing the seat sits on?????????

 

I totally agree!!!
As you probably know "almost anything" is possible with enough $$$

 

im 6'7 wonder if ill fit

 

You will fit in the back seat comfortably with the front seat scooted up a little.
The front would be tight for you though.....

 

Yes, this can be done, at least in most cars.

As long as there is enough area to move the seat rails back, you could take them off and move them back an inch or three.

 

I want the option to get a bigger motor. like 150hp at least. I would have paid 2.5k more for that

 

There is a factory one now too, if you hadn't seen it already.

 

cruise control?

 

I have cruise control and I know why it doesn't come stock.
As we all know our xB's are the most anti-areodynamic pieces of machinery on the road.
With that said our speed is pretty much in control of two factors.
1) Wind speed (for or against)
2) Slope (for or against)

Cruise controls are supposed to be a tool of convienence and possibly help with gas mileage.

Since our boxes can't maintain a constant speed depending on the variables above cruise control does more harm than good.

For example:
I can set my cruise at 70mph and here comes a hill with a moderate incline. The xB will start to loose speed down to about 60mph then it will downshift and about redline to gain speed back up to 70mph.
If the incline last awhile your going to be at a high RMP until you can reach back to what you set the cruise at.

It's the worst investment that I have on my box......totally useless

 

Obviously you have never been to Minnesota or somwhere is snows. If that was all I had to do some mornings when I got up I would be thrilled!

Bye the way, this is sort of a "I wish" thread I'm assuming. So it's a cool idea for everyone to post their dream standard xB but people, relax a little then. We all know more options means more cost...

 

you've got a crappy cruise control system then. has nothing to do with the car or aerodynamics.

 

What about the 300lbs of audio equipment that I have in the box? Or the 19" rims which weigh 47lbs a piece?
That's an extra 500lbs.....
When a car with less that 100whp is luggin all that extra weight tell me that the engine is going to be able to maintain speed going up hill.....
Lucky don't you have a tC?
Got much experience with the ol' box?

I can notice a drastic difference in driving conditions when I have wind against me.....
It does make a difference.
My Scion has to down shift to get back up to the cruising speed that I set.
