Default How would a 55 year old man look driving a xB ?

I like the style and the Toyota quality. The price is great and 30-35 mpg is where it's at, but am I too old for one of these? Would I look like i'm driving my son's car or what.
thanks for your input

IMO, who cares what others think! Good luck on your decision.

Hey my friend, I am 46 and loving the XB. Great car and like you I bought for the MPG. Also it has a little zip to keep young!

Ask me in 15 years. Seriously though. Who cares what others think. I like the car, and others who bought the car, like the car. I've seen the whole age range driving Scions. So they must like Scions also.

well, I'm 16, and my dad is 50, and he paid for it, and he doesn't look bad at all driving it. go for it. our salesman told us the first one they sold was to a 75 y.o. woman for its' ease of getting into and out of.

Don't sweat it, age is nothing more than a number! Tint the windows and no one will know the difference. LOL Get one you will not regret it at all. I'm 42 and love it to DEATH and plan on having it forever.

but does she have 18" motigis and a 2" drop?

I was hearing about someone at a garage sale asking a 70 something year old lady about her xB, she said she was going to pimp it with some purple drops on the side( decals) and some hot rims

Go for it man! xBs are great no matter the driver's age. They're a higher quality vehicle, that gets good MPG, is easy to work on / maintain, and they are absolutely one of the, if not THE, best car you can buy for the money. This car is truly a wise investment.

Just remember to get the Goldline Springs and the 19's....the chicks at the bingo halls and the nursing homes go CRAZY for the 19's!

Just kidding! (I'm 30)

Seriously, We would welcome you to the family with open arms

I'd wager the majority of people I see in Scions around here are older.

You know how they look? Like old people driving cool cars. Nothing wrong with that.
