anyone own one of these? how to do you like it? how's the gas mileage? does the windshield chip all the freaking time?
i am considering getting one. i've read the reviews and a corolla seems to be a more economical decision but i love how ugly the xB is.

with the previous model, people have complained about the noise on the highway. the new is supposed to have better aerodynamics to reduce road noise and has more power but that took away from gas mileage.

i was thinking about getting one a while back as well. now that winter rolled around i'm glad i didn't! those things have a ground clearance of basically nothing.
- what did you get instead?– emokid1/2
  i had and still have a saturn! hah! kinda went on the backburner for the time being.– lvl_132/2

That has to be one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen. Why would you subject yourself to that?

because i rode in one over the weekend and absolutely loved it. for the price and the features offered, it sounds like a great deal plus i do like that its ugly.
- do you like the element? i was actually thinking of getting one of those as well. it's more solid, but more money.– lvl_131/8

  the vibe is pretty good. its basically a toyota matrix with a pontiac logo on it.– emokid3/8
  lvl, yeah i like the element a lot. but yes, price and gas mileage has been a concern. i drive a lot (about 45 miles/day).– emokid4/8
  i think the pontiac vibe is more toyota than the matrix. i heard the vibe is built in japan while the matrix is built in CA– sung_konajalinejox5/8

Start test driving other cars. The Flex is really nice but it's 26k +.
Drive the Honda Fit, the VW Rabbit The Mazda 5 etc.

I'm curious about the Xb, but it looks like they just dripped plastic on the outside of the old one.

i think the corolla is ugly too. you should get that since it's more economical.

My mom has one of the old ones. She liked the square look. It is fun to ride around in an has plenty of space for it's size. I don't know if they are all like this but it drives rough over certain surfaces like the shocks aren't good or something.

My wife's 2 year old Corolla has the least comfortable front seats I've sat in in a while. In there for more than an hour, and my back is killing me. It's an individual thing though. I'm 6'2" - might just be my dimensions. Also, the steering wheel doesn't telescope, so I have to sit really freakin weird when I have to drive that car.
Check out a Mazda 3. Love my hatchback.

My buddy has an old style toaster and he really loves it. He's 6'4" so the headroom and huge windshield was selling point. The newer ones are a little lower, have a little less head clearance. He bitches that they advertised the mpg as 31-35, but he's never gotten better than 30.
If you're looking for fuel economy, maybe wait for this:

I have the TC... It's a great car albeit the fact that after putting lots of miles on it...all sorts of rattles develop... then again I live in NYC and potholes will rattle apart a mercedes....

i used to have a mazda before it got totaled. liked it a lot. then i had a corolla before it got totaled as well. liked that a lot too. there are a lot of fancy cars to choose from but my issue is mostly budget and fuel economy. as sad as it sounds, even the prius is a out of my budget. hence i am looking into corollas, scions and maybe even a civic.

the new civics look nice...
however... look into the mitsubishi evo or the WRX STi omg... the speed those little freaks can do... 5.3 secs off the line 0-60...
suggestion..if you get either of those... get a big brake kit... brembos the best but most expensive... wilwood is okay but not fabulous...
you will need it... those things are monsters in small packages...
- WTF are you talking about? STI's are like 32K. thats double his budget.– Antonelli1/4
  Brembo's are stock on STI's anyway.– Antonelli2/4
  same with the evo. these cars are in a different class than what he's looking for.– Antonelli3/4
  ...and the new civics has same suspensions like mustangs now. the ones of a horse wagon. great!– akrokdesign4/4
