People like me that like 80s styling cues. If it didn’t suck so much in every otherway I’d rock it. ---

I test drove one, and it wasn’t too bad. The driving position is kind of like sitting in a barber’s chair, which I was not really fond of. Manual transmission feel was decent. Suspension feel was surprisingly good. Two things made me not buy one: 1. They would not deal on the price. 2. When I attempted a heel-toe downshift coming off an exit ramp, the thing actually shut off. That was a bizarre experience. ---

don’t know anything about it mechanically other than they are slow as balls from riding in a friends, and that they are hideous. Other than that, it is a toyota so it is probably pretty sweet in terms of quality. [quote=“neurokinetik,post:23,topic:26859"”] 1.

You know those crazy japanese, they will drift anything. ---

I too have a tC. If the xB is anything like the tC, it should be pretty reliable. I bought mine in June of 2005 and haven’t had any issues (minus hitting a deer doing 65mph.) I will say this though, the Yokohamas they put on the tC’s are garbage. I hate them and can’t wait til I get some new rubbers for it. I’m assuming they use Yokos on the xB too. Just something to keep an eye out for. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-do-you-guys-know-about-the-xb-scion/26859.md?page=1)
