#2 of 16 2-Door XB? by allcarsrcool Dec 03, 2006 (1:56 pm)
How cool would it be to have a 2-door XB... I guess it would compete with the mini cooper... what are your thoughts? Replies to this message: snailspacer (Dec 07, 2006 8:46 am) aatherton (Dec 08, 2006 4:22 pm) allcarsrcool (Dec 13, 2006 3:26 pm)
#3 of 16 Compass, var spd wipers, outdoor temps, lower ratio by snailspacer Dec 07, 2006 (8:46 am)
Replying to: allcarsrcool (Dec 03, 2006 1:56 pm) 1. Compass & outdoor temperature mounted in rearview mirror 2. Variable speed intermittent wipes (not the one speed we got now) 3. Lower ratio differential - no reason this thing turns 3500 rpms at 70. Should be less than 3000 and result in better mileage.

Replying to: snailspacer (Dec 07, 2006 8:46 am) I prefer the present manual ratio. I got 42 mpg with it on two tanks, and it's easy to get 37 mpg in rural driving. I value the responsiveness and acceleration in gears around town and on 2-lane mountain roads. The car would be very sluggish with a higher ratio like the automatic, and would not have the OD button for the constant downshifts that would be necessary.

Replying to: snailspacer (Dec 07, 2006 8:46 am) so how about a two door version? it would b slightly smaller, yet still retain the practicality
#6 of 16 Improvements by ruble Dec 22, 2006 (8:45 am)
1.Cruise Control 2.Side impact Airbags 3.Move the overdrive lockout button to the passenger side of the automatic shifter.
#7 of 16 6 speed by thetruth4130 Dec 26, 2006 (6:38 pm)
if a 6 speed manual like the versa was added, you could keep the axle ratio the same and get good acceleration and better mileage in the top gear and of course, cruise control
#8 of 16 2 door model by allcarsrcool Dec 31, 2006 (7:03 am)
somone please respond to the idea of a two door model! Replies to this message: waps (Jul 04, 2008 1:50 pm)
#9 of 16 Re: Changes You'd Like To See in the Scion xB [pf_flyer] by joesbar Jan 28, 2007 (9:05 am)
Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 18, 2006 6:24 am) Some kind of LIGHT in the front area of the vehicle that can be accessed without having stretched arms. A PAUSE button for the cd player. Is it just me or does this Pioneer not have a PAUSE button? Standard 1.7 engine. I'm getting roughly the same MPG as I did with my 03 Civic (so far) while sacrificing the power I had.

Replying to: joesbar (Jan 28, 2007 9:05 am) Larger cup holder also. How am I supposed to get a 44oz beverage in these skimply things? Even my 03 Civic could fit a 44 oz. No excuse for this.
