I am assuming you already have the xB. If so, do you like it, what are your thougts compared to the SVT?

Did you have any trouble with the SVT? Didn't they have like 30 recalls?

My Focus had 11 recalls, including a lifetime warranty (given out by Ford) on the fuel pump and front suspension......

the rear hub had a recall on a recall thet was performed a year earlier......go figure.....

My Svt had a few problems. But it is running great now. I pick up the xb on Monday. I like the xb more for its looks and practicality. The focus was a great car, but just started to ge to me, and getting older and don't need speed.

Default FIRST MOD, CABIN AIR FILTER..

Your cabin air filter tray is empty, SCION sells XB's with no filter in the cabin air filter tray.

Go to the Do It Yourself section and read about CABIN AIR FILTERs.
Scion's filter is about $23, Autozone or Advanced sells one for $12.

This will result in less dust on your dash.

ENJOY YOUR BOX. 05 or 06? Post photos.

I just returned from Autozone and the Bosch part#P3750 is unavailable from Autozone at the present time. Guess I'll have to try Advanced and see what they might have.
