Replying to: scie (Apr 20, 2007 8:29 am)  s. Obviously we're not the only cases. What new Matrix????? I'm still being jerked around by Toyota. I ordered a Matrix on Feb. 23rd. Nothing yet. Now the dealer tells me they'll order a new car from the factory in May, and it won't arrive until sometime in June. This has really turned into a farce! |

Replying to: scie (Apr 20, 2007 8:29 am) Is it the plastic sheet inside the door that keeps the cardboard door panel dry? So if this plastic sheet is not installed just right, water also gets out of the door and into the car?

Hello everyone, I am currently is in market for a new Scion xB. Since they are not making no more new model except for 2008, can any one spare the time and tell me whether i should buy the 2006 model or wait for the new 2008 which has bigger engine and different appearance. Thank you for your input, regardless. Besides, you folks are hosting a nice forum here. Lingnan

Replying to: lingnan (Apr 25, 2007 6:37 pm) They are completely different cars in size, power, appearance, and the 2008 is about $1500 more. Since you apparently do not already have a particular need or preference for the smaller 2006, and since the 2006 is now "take what you can find", you may as well order a 2008 they way you like it.

I went in and test drove the 2008 xB today and find it lot more pleasing, especially the redesigning of the dash and gear shifter which also comes with sequential shifting. It has a lot of pull when putting your foot of the paddle and the 4 wheel disc brakes are so responsive. Unfortunate thing is the model I drove today has a lot of upgrade, i.e. steel wheels and sport package. So, I have to get my hands on the basic automatic again, when its available which, according to the salesman, will be another 10 days wait. (Originally, he called me yesterday afternoon about the silver with auto, and basic that I want him to contact me. But when we were there, he said it was sold yesterday w/o informing me. I was little unhappy about that, because its 30 miles from my house.) Overall, this is a better and improved model, at least to my standard because I'm more incline with bigger engine cars. Just as we were coming home from the dealer, this absent minded driver, merged right into my lane w/o even looking. Lucky I have a powerful engine to haul away from his path. Another reason that a bigger engine can provide escape from situation. But, I don't think this car is suitable for younger drivers, if they are not experienced with such engine size. It really gets up and go. But the lucky thing is the 4 wheel disc brakes plays a compensating role. In any event, this is a totally different car as you have mentioned to me earlier and its curb appeal is even better than the old model. |
