Sooooo, has anyone had the misfortune to wreck their xB yet?

If so, what kind of crash was it (cars involved, speed, conditions), and how much damage was caused? I'm not interested in passenger safety, I'm interested in structural integrity. How did the xB hold up?

(Maybe everyone's been lucky and nobody has wrecked theirs yet...)

theres been many...I remember a post of a bunch of wrecked ones. They seem to hold up fine.

My girlfriend wrecked mine 2 months ago. She side-swiped someone on the freeway and it just banged up two fenders and knocked the side-mirror off. Not bad at all. I thought it was going to be way worse.

So far, out of all of the pics I've seen, the xB abosrbs alot of the impact, and its driver and passengers have survived and walked away from it.

Has anyone heard differently?

did you guys see the TC all messed up? that was a your supposed to be dead crash..but the guy survived..

i seen alot of wrecked xb on here.. i wonder if mine will hold up since i did put a huge hole in it then covered it up with a panoramic moonroof.

Holy crap.

Were you stopped when the semi hit you, or still moving?

Nevermind MrLavaLava, I just read your response in the post describing the accident.

I'm pretty surprised there wasn't more damage, to be honest.

There's been a few. In everycase except the rig one there was a lot of damage to the box but little or none to the people in the box. seems to total easy.

This is not an xb. This happened to me 26 December 2003.
I was hit by 2 trucks and thrown off the road into some trees. Surprisingly I only had a cut on my face and no one else was hurt.

Not really interested in anything but xBs, you know? I don't drive a Jetta.

i got hit by some chick in a jetta. she took off my whole front bumper but that was it. all i needed to do was get the front bumper replaced. she hit me front drivers side going about 30 mph. it looked like she peeled it right off.

britti

i was hit in the front and my bumper came off with one of my headlights falling out. we just put rope on the front bumper and i drove it to the toyota dealership to get fixed. should of been more damage but there wasn't. they also fixed one of my rims that they thought got scratched from the wreck.

pdrizzle

How did they fix the rim? Was it the factory 15"? What had you done to it for it to get messed up?

britti

ya it was the stock one, but am looking for some to buy. i was at an intersection with several cars, had to move over, and it was scratched from the curb. totally sucked, but is now fixed. that's the first car wreck i ever cried at b/c i love this car. haha

erichlf

My car was a total.

Hey if it were not for that wreck I wouldn't have the xB.

tripertripp

just another question im about to buy a scion xb and you have said that thiers been plenty of wrecks with xb's. but is that because of performacne or handling on the car or just wrong place at wrong time?

erichlf

Well it seems like the wrong place at the wrong time. Most of the accidents I have seen were rear endings.

tripertripp

well thanks for the info another thing im worried about is people looking at the thing while im driving. I mean when i took mine on a test drive i got so many looks. i want mine so bad ima get alot of chicks at least get alot looking.
