Bought a Scion xB

[imported_KevinA]

My wife and I bought a Scion xB last week. I am really enjoying this car - it replaces my '89 Honda Accord.



It's not a fast car, but it has much more power than the Honda had, even with the automatic transmission!



There is so much room inside! I am 6'1" and can "sit behind myself" and still have plenty of leg room.



The in-dash 6 disk CD changer and automatic were the only options we got (plus an extended warrenty) and we're paying just $300.00/month for 60 months.



I ordered some 17" wheels and tires today, plus some other Scion options at reduced prices (gotta love the internet). I'll post some before and afters once all the parts are on the car.

Congratulations. Now it's time to talk about polishing and waxing that acquisition.

I was going to buy one but decided to keep my Civic. Are there any power mods for them yet? I know in japan they are called the BB and they have been around a little longer so maybe they have something?

 

[Mindflux]

mmm xB's... *envy*.



There are all sorts of powermods for them 2001civic. Check around.

I like the xA model.Just like the Toyota Vitz.

The xB's are the $h**. I love the look of them!

 

[GoodnClean]

I can't get behind the look, but its unique all right!

Mods that are in the mail are 17" wheels, Injen intake, "altezza" style tail lights (same ones dealers offer), fog lights, cup holder and under dash lights (wife wanted the last two...).



Unfortunately, had no time to even wash the box this weekend.



Some go-fast parts that are out now are several intake systems. One supercharger that I know of, maybe even a couple turbo systems (if not available now, are in the works) and, of course, lots of different exhaust systems. I'd like to get a cat back exhaust, but I would want to hear the tone of others before I jump into that.

I like the xB. At least it's different than all the upside down bathtubs rolling down the street.

I would never own one of these things import/tuner/miniminivan/econo box, but if your happy with your desision, that's what's important.

Yeeeah, the first one on Autopia. I can't wait to see the pics.

it looks like a micromachine

 

[imported_KevinA]

I had planned to have some pics up by now, but things at home are a mess and just haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe soon?

 

[EldoradoBill]

Congrats! Yeah my brother in-law is 6'2" and he fits in the back no problem in a Xb. Hope to see some pics soon!

 

[imported_KevinA]

Here are the only pics so far. These are all "before" pics.



The color is Blue Onyx Pearl. One only sees the blue well in direct light.

Another...

 

[imported_KevinA]

Last one.

I think the thing looks pretty sweet.



Take some interior photos too!

:ups for the Scion Xb. I love it!

 

[6SpeedBowtie]

I like that color. Dark blue (whatever the manufacturer wants to call it) look great on just about any car.



As for the car itself, I'm really glad you like it and I'm genuinely glad you were able to get a car you are so excited about...



... But I don't like the looks of it at all. What is the draw to such a vehicle?? Is it just because it's different?? Please enlighten me.



(BTW, I don't want to sound harsh, just candid.)
