scion xB

[desiunit]

so, what do people think about the scion xB...i test drove both the standard and the auto, about 3-4 times each, and like the auto much better, the clutch and shifter (mainly the gaits) suck dogs...anyway, i never liked it, but it kinda grew on me, esp after seeing some nice aftermarket mods...plus it gets awesome gas mileage, just for a daily driver, and has TONS of room, no lie...i saw a 6'2" guy test driving one...lots of head room, and passenger(s) room...only 108hp (or donkey power i should call it...maybe there really is a hamster running on a wheel under the hood ) though, and the fixed pricing kinda sucks, but i guess u save the hassle/stress of going to different dealers and the whole bargaining crap...i don't think i will be buying one now b/c of money, but it is definitely a contender, some day, for a daily driver, to keep me occupied until i get the G35...voice some opinions people!!!!!! Nissan is coming out with the "Cube"...don't know if I like it so much though...

get the tC, otherwise, don't bother. scion are ugly cars. they intended to sell it to underprivileged college kids, but ironically, most consumers as I noticed are middle-aged men with funky hair; and likes to speed.

boooooooo...i think looks depend on the individual, and i don't think the xB is ugly. i think they are different, and unique, but wouldn't say ugly--strange, yes...nevertheless, i believe the tC is kind of a mainstream car, with 'nothing new' styling, but may be a good value...i haven't driven one...but the value of the xB is awesome!!

[Z_Fanatic]

lol, good choice. but i think many will agree, it's cardboard box on wheels. even the mini cooper has more curves and aerodynamics than xB.

in terms of uniqueness and out of the ordinary, I can recommend many other affordable vehicles with class.

I will not buy any car where the prices are fixed like that. Its collusion in its application. Doing that is going to hurt their sales.

No comment on th xB, but the TC looks cool in the commercials

The xB looks like one of those box vans or something. A friend of mine thinks they're sweet; but I can't stand the look of them, or the xA counterpart. The tC looks decent, but 105 HP isn't something to brag about.

Scion.com claims 160hp in the TC. That is what you were refering to right?

A civic coupe's 115 hp isn't bragable either. (i picked the civic coupe because that is what the TC reminds me of)

Civic coupe 2588 lbs
TC 2970

scion xA and xB are pieces of crap. TC is the one i like. atleast they NOW understand what ppl look for.

how does the fix pricing suck? thats the best part about scion.. its no hassle no markup because its a scion.. you can get it for the cheapest price possible.. i dont see how its a bad thing.. and the tc has 160hp now 108 its pretty fast.. i went to test drive one already.. i drove the 5 spd.. the engine is so smooth.. but trunk space is lacking.. my friends in the back seats said there was lots of room.. but yea.. the onyl scion i would get is the tC

Would have bought a nice looking basic Xb instead of fwd 4 cyl Highlander if Xb was longer by 2-3 feet with corresponding bigger engine. Don't like the center gages though.

[bumpinneon]

you guys ever seen that one commercial where everybody is driving around in a box with wheels (saturn commercial i think) well i think thats where they got there idea for the Xb

[greendayhbt26]

the xb is real ugly. my girlfreinds dad test drove it and said its really underpowered. i also cant imagine how annoying having the instrument cluster in the middle like that, plus its all compressed into a little circle. i dunno its weird, its ugly and its an import..sooooo no. the tc looks alright tho
