im a future scion buyer, and im going to be buying my new scion in the coming weeks. at first i set my mind on the tC but now im having second thoughts and might get a xB cause it looks cool, gets better gas mileage, more room and a few thousand cheaper.

ok, my question has nothing to do what with i just said. but my question is: how does the horn sound on the xb? like when u honk, does it make that little cheap whimpy high pitched sound, or does it make the more rich sounding low pitched sound?

oh and also: how many seconds is 0-60mph on the xb?

thanks for taking ur time and reading my amazing questions

 

Never heard that one before, I don't think! But yeah the xB makes that cheap whimpy high pitched sound. I hate it.

 

LOL...let's just say that if you're making a decision about buying an xB based on 0-60 time or the horn, you better keep looking.

 

0 - 60 is about 9 seconds for the xB. Probably a half a second faster on the 5 speed, and a half a second more for the auto. (probably more)

EDIT: Voted "no" on your thread, because it drives me insane when people use U instead of YOU!

 

U got dat right.

 

Go test drive one before asking these questions...And try the damn horn yourself. Did you expect it to sound like a big rig or something? Sheesh...

 

when in doubt buy air horns!

 

That's what I look at when buying a car........how the horn sounds

 

Voted no because you didn't use search and find the previous threads on the horn.

 

Read 'em and weep...


Zero to 30 mph: 3.5
40 mph: 5.4
50 mph: 7.8
60 mph: 10.6
70 mph: 15.0
80 mph: 20.9
90 mph: 29.0
Street start, 5-60 mph: 11.1
Top-gear acceleration, 30-50 mph: 5.5
50-70 mph: 8.0
Standing 1/4-mile: 18.2 sec @ 75 mph
Top speed (drag limited): 103 mph



I only go by 0-40 times, though. I live in a city, and unless I'm on the interstate, all the speed limits in-town are 40mph or less, therefore a 0-60 time is useless to me. The fastest I'm normally going to go is 40 in the city.

A 40-70mph time would be nice to know, though, for accelerating onto an interstate (our speed limit is 70mph there)...

 

^^^ some usefull info there.

 

my horn goes......

"ahhhhOOOOOOOOGaaaaaaaaaa"

Not bad, I like it. lol.

 

I would higly suggest you go to the dealer and checking one out for yourself.

 

Werd! That's what I did. Even if they don't have the color you want, just drive one to see if you like it or not.

 

piaa makes a replacement horn for the xb.

Yes, the horn makes a high pitched wimpy sound.

The 0-60 is about 8.9 seconds for the 5 speed and about 10-10.5 seconds for the automatic.

 

THOSE numbers are for the SLOWMATIC.

Check Edmunds, they have one of the few road tests of a 5 SPEED, they got 8.9 sec 0-60.

I've personally driven 115 mph and sustained it on level ground, not that that is impressive, but it's better than 103!

 

I plan on changing the horn to something louder.....I hate wimpy horns...

 

thanks for answering my questions guys

oh and i cant just go test drive a car since im not even 18 yet, id have to go w/my dad. and hes a very busy man

 

0-60 in an xB is 3.2 sec. It's aight. You should buy one.
