Replying to: mydingo (Aug 16, 2004 7:42 pm) Where in Florida did you purchase your xB? If it's not too far away from me I'll look into the dealership. thanks Replies to this message: escapeowner2 (Aug 20, 2005 2:49 am) wilcox (Sep 02, 2005 7:09 am) bkbui (Sep 07, 2005 9:57 am)

Replying to: infinidean (Aug 19, 2005 12:15 pm) I wanted to share my recent Scion purchasing experience. We purchased a Scion xA about three weeks ago and last Monday purchased a Scion xB. We purchased both cars from Lou Fusz Toyota/Scion in Kirkwood, Missouri. We were treated very well. In each case we placed orders and in each case our orders came precisely when our salesman said they would. The pure pricing no-haggle policy was very nice. We traded in a vehicle for our xB and received a very good trade-in price for it. Financing was a snap and we were not given any sort of run-around by the financing people. We have found over the years that the best person to work with when buying and financing is the sales manager and the finance manager at the dealership. We are pleased with both of our Scions.     Replies to this message: wilcox (Sep 02, 2005 7:09 am)
#120 of 345 Cargo room? by charlotte7 Aug 22, 2005 (1:54 pm)
What's the cargo capacity on your xBs with the rear seats folded down? I can't find this anywhere on the Scion Web site, and I'm wondering how it compares to the cargo room in my boyfriend's Saturn wagon.
#121 of 345 mileage by mnikos Aug 22, 2005 (10:29 pm)
There's a new forum specifically for Scion mileage which I also posted on tonight, but for those who haven't checked it out yet, I'm curious if it's realistic to expect my mileage to increase by 10 mpg after break-in? I have about 700 miles on my 06 xB so far, and the mileage has gone up with each of the 3 tanks I've pumped, but by less than 2 mpg total. I'm jealous of you 35ers out there. The Zeta armrest is great, by the way, and easy to install.
#123 of 345 Mileage by escapeowner2 Aug 25, 2005 (2:51 am)
You probably won't be achieving optimum mileage until your enging has 3,000 miles on it, or perhaps as many as 5,000 miles. The way in which you drive really has an impact on mileage. Turning your AC on reduces mileage by as much as 25 percent, particularly on our little engines. If you are not doing a lot of highway driving, your mileage won't be much above 31 or so. If you have to drive up hills a lot, etc. etc. So many factors go into mileage. I would say, give it a few thousand miles and then you will know. Keep your tire pressure at the right level, etc. Replies to this message: mnikos (Aug 25, 2005 9:55 pm) jamesgang (Aug 27, 2005 3:06 am)

Replying to: escapeowner2 (Aug 25, 2005 2:51 am) Thanks, escapeowner2! Unfortunately, not much I can do about using the A/C with 100+ temps every day and commuting up the hill, but I'm loving that little car so much it doesn't really matter.
#125 of 345 Interesting update on by iluvmysephia1 Aug 26, 2005 (12:36 pm)
the air conditioning and how much it affects fuel economy. I have no choice but to have A/C and have heard for years that it sucks the economy out of one's fuel economy for their particular rig...I just hadn't seen a percentage figure in type or print for a long time, so that was helpful information. I was thinking along the lines of about 20% worse with your A/C on. Right in the proverbial ballpark, anyway. It's just not an option to go without it in the hot South Dakota summer sun.
#126 of 345 Re: Mileage [escapeowner2] by jamesgang Aug 27, 2005 (3:06 am)
Replying to: escapeowner2 (Aug 25, 2005 2:51 am) A ten % loss with A/C on is closer to what I experience - actually it isn't even that much. Without A/C 38-39mpg. With A/C 35-37. It is hard to say exactly as I do turn the A/C off whenever comfortably possible. With my other cars - 6 cylinders - there was no noticable difference with or without the A/C. But these little engines are seriously affected.

Replying to: escapeowner2 (Aug 20, 2005 2:49 am) Gawd, that's so ordinary...
