How do you find a scion xB for 11k. Edmunds says it's 13k.

Everyone here that keeps saying it's ugly, etc. can stfu. He likes it, that's what matters. It is a good price, good gas mileage, decently quick, a lot of options... it's a good deal.

I drive an xB at work. It might be perfect if:

1. Cruise Control
2. Shifter was on steering collum or over a bit so my knee didn't hit it

i don't seem to have that problem...

then again i don't drive an auto.

does it make a difference in a Kleenix box on wheels?

find me a car that is $14,500 off the lot, gets 35mpg, has a stock MP3 player by pioneer, and can haul an entire drum set(or in my case, 2 basses, a 4x10, and a 1x15, and a 4 space rack) AND is backed by a company that has built some of the most reliable automobiles in HISTORY

ugliness? whatever. i didn't buy it because i thought it looked cool. i bought the damn thing because it was cheap and practical.

edit:
2,300lbs and 108hp... it's no ferarri but it's still decently quick.


Why do I care? Well, because I have to not throw up when I see one...

Seriously, I don't give two shits. If it works for you then :thumbsup: just try not to call it "decently quick" because its not. The reviews show a 0-60 time in the range of upper 9's. I think I might be able to walk after than that after eating a turkey dinner...

a cheap reliable car that can do 0-60 under 10 sec is considered "reasonably quick" in my book. it's faster than a lot of econo mid-size's.

hmph, well here is a tip. take the picture during the day with the sun out... if its not, brace the camera onto something so the camera does not move when the shutter opens.

later! nice car.
