I kept itching to upgrade for more power, but the price of premium gas ownz me. I'll stick to regular thank you very muuuch.
I love how they say the turbo adds like 40% power, seems like a good amount, then you think about how much more 40% is on top of the 108 that we already have. Hard to comprehend.
I'm happy with my car. More power would always be nice, but i'm content with what I have for now.

if i were in the market for a new car, i'm almost convinced i'd buy an xB right now.
i actually love the "love it, or hate it" styling. I can't decide whether it is a good looking car, but just the fact that it looks different. I find the fit and yaris invoke no emotion whatsoever. Sure the Fit and yaris and even tC are the "better looking" cars, but i find it's hard to find a sub 20k car that will easily grab my attention.
my only concern is the price. i see people trying to sell their used xB's for 14-16k still. maybe i'll wait a year or so, but then the new model might be just around the corner.

From what I've seen you're better off buying new... You can buy new for what some people are asking for used ones. There's something to be said for great resale value....A new model will help push prices down on the current version...
If they were to offer AWD on the Xb (the JDM version comes w/ an awd option IIRC), I think it could compete better w/ the element. I don't think that Scion cares to sell to the age range of people who would buy the element over the Xb tho'.

i'm not sure if that will work, but the lowest price i see on the first page is nearly 17k, and most of them are used
. i guess there is really no reason to look for a used one then....for that price i'd might as well look for a used s2k or LGT....

I have the OTG Shims in back, and spacers in front. I put the spacer in back with the shim, the tires rubbed like a bitch, so I took 'em off and they are pretty close to even with the fronts.
