I'm thinking about buying a 2008 Scion XB...

My friend just purchased one of these and it is VERY nice. Sure, the looks take some time getting used to, but I can get over that. The ride is smooth, the engine revs smooth, everything just seems so smooth. I want a 4 door now (2 door has become a hassle), and this seems to fit that perfectly. There is TONS of room inside. I could settle for something like a mazda 3, but I think the XB would be the better choice. What do you guys think? I think with a set of rims and some HID's the XB looks pretty good. Any of you own one? I'm guessing the insurance would be cheaper on this than a celica GTS, am I right?

i saw two on the road the other day and they look a lot nicer than the breadbox.

Yeah they do definitely look better, which is why I'm considering getting one. I wouldn't even consider getting a last gen.

Will's looks pretty nice. I finally saw one on the road today, definitely better than the older model.

i see alot of the new xb, i havent seen one with rims yet. it has the TC engine right ?

I love my box. I would recommend it to anyone.

Now it is broken in, I love it a lot more. The handling is pretty good for a box with a high center of gravity. Plus it comes with a plethora of standard appointments. If you buy one, don't get any of the options/accessories at the dealer. You can get them online for much much cheaper.

I have Rim's. Look in my other thread in this forum. 18's with 40 profile tire. And yes, it is the 2AZ-FE from the Camry/tC/Highlander/Rav4....
