Replying to: aatherton (Jul 02, 2006 11:31 am) That'll give you 5% error. When your speedo reads 60 mph you'll actually be going 63.1 mph. A 205 55 15 would be almost perfect. Replies to this message: aatherton (Jul 03, 2006 4:53 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 03, 2006 5:12 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 02, 2006 8:38 pm) Sounds pretty wide. Will there be enough clearance in sharp turns and bumps? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 03, 2006 5:12 pm)

Replying to: aatherton (Jul 03, 2006 4:53 pm) There's quite a bit of room under there. You could always ask the shop to mount one tire while your car is on the rack and check it all out for clearance and to make sure your rim will hold it. A good tire shop will know this.

Replying to: aatherton (Jul 02, 2006 11:31 am) I've been reading you comments throughout the xb discussions. I'm considering an xb for my next vehicle. What rpm are you experiencing at 70 mph? Do you consider this excessive? I don't like to hear an engine sound like its ready to start throwing parts through the hood when I'm cruising the interstates. Any comments from you or others about this would be appreciated.

Replying to: boyce (Sep 02, 2006 8:21 am) i test drove an xB this summer. after reading so many times about the engine being loud at 60 mph and feeling it was about to explode, well I was paying attention!! and after driving it at 70 mph + it was fine IMO. ok, it doesn.t purr like a sport car but i was not worried about it. my husband, (he is a mechanic BTW) said it was normal for this car and that would not keep him from getting it. also, i might add that it went to 50-60 mph pretty fast, without me noticing it. very roomy and confortable to drive. when u sit in it, it feel like a big SUV inside !!! the only thing i dont like about the scion is their color choices...they are kinda boring..i would like to see brighter colors.

Replying to: canuck785 (Sep 05, 2006 11:24 am) Thank you for the feedback. I have not tried an Xb yet but was not sure if I could stand hearing the engine wound up on the highway. I had a car like that once and I got rid of it for that reason. (that was an 88 Mazda 323 stripper with a four speed.) What does the abbreviation IMO stand for? Please excuse my lack of knowledge for computer shorthand. Thank you for your reply! Bud Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 05, 2006 5:18 pm) canuck785 (Sep 06, 2006 8:14 am)

Replying to: boyce (Sep 05, 2006 1:28 pm) no problem!   it all comes down to what you NEED. the xB has room to spare, is cheap on gas, has an excellent resale value and is made by toyota but you wont be drag racing anywhere but in your driveway from what i read online, i'd say that xb owners are pleased with it and are praising it. i drove both tranny and logically, the stick one had more pep but the auto was very pleasant. go try one, this car has a lot to offer!
