Is this your impression of a kindergarten teacher? Your post was not helpful either, coulda PMd him. This website is getting a little too PC. Seems you can't say anything to anyone anymore without some adult supervision. People tend to disagree at times and sometimes it's truly amusing to see it play out. Every forum has it and the ones with the least amount of whiners tend to have more inconspicuous moderators. If someone is being an idiot, people will straighten them out soon enough. Just seems a little Mod-Happy lately.

I've had my 05 box for 6 weeks.... no regrets. Power, acceleration, and gas mileage are just fine. It has far more power than my old Suzuki Samurai and about the same as the Hyundai Elantra wagon I used to have.

I just paid $17k for a car with 108hp.

lol, I regret using my toyota financial thank you card on the cover as well.

i dunno if this counts or not but i didnt like how when i bought it i was told any toyota dealer could service it. but when it needed servicing my local toyota dealer refused to touch it because they didnt sell scions. so i had to drive an hr+ to get it serviced.

which also factored in when i traded it in recently. i probably wont buy one again until a place closer sells them. its just not feasable to drive an hr away whenever something needs warranty work or to get it looked at.

I guess one of the main reasons I buy Toyota is they are the first new vehicle I owned that never had to go back to the dealer. My 1994 Toyota pick up that now belongs to an employee has never been back to a Toyota dealer. I think I would question whether I wanted service done at a dealership that did not want my business

I just got mine and no regrets so far. Is the gas milage that bad? It could be like a v8 truck chugging gas and the power issue? Hell, you should have read the specs and have done your homework.

I hate to see people buy ECONOMY CARS (ie: Protege, Civic, Focus, Neon, etc) and expect that with a few bolt on mods it'll be a race car. If a modded econo box could beat a ferrari, short of spending 10 times the cars worth, no one would by ferraris.

Econo cars can beat Ferrari's for about 10 grand not 100. sorry off topic. Back on topic , alot of people are getting around 25 mpg or more and complaining that it isnt 30-35 like the sticker says.

Regrets? None really. Oh, sure, the paint chipping on the front bugs me a bit, but that is what I kind of expected with a brick on wheels.
The only real regret I have is the poor lighting on the inside. ONE dome light stinks.

The gas mileage for me is above average, (and better then my new Beetle), so I like that. And the power, while not racing car fast, is fine, and what I expected with this car. The AEM CAI has helped a great deal in that area.

i believe at this point in time that is my only gripe.

I agree with the dome light problem. My only other problem is the lack of power under certain circumstances. It's fine for me and my wife and some stuff but when I have 4 or 5 adults in it, it doesn't like to go well.

My regrets

Gap insurance - with scion security car cant get stolen, slow car means less change of getting in an accident

Scion security- alarm doesnt go off when i tap window or open door while locked...

Finishing touch - doenst cover key scratches

Over priced scion mats from dealer -100 bux for 4 mats

dome light....

low power engine... but i knew that when i bought it.



btw.... poor gas mileage....WTF! i get good gas mileage.... its only 20$ to fill tank and last me almost all week and i drive about 40 miles a day.

chadfo

Anything can get stolen. Don't think that security system will keep your car where you put it. If someone really wants it, it's gone. Slow doesn't have anything to do with getting in an accident. Plus many people have had their boxes in excess of 100 MPH.

____...........im happy with 28-30 miles a gallon, bought my 2005 xb in september. Im still lovin it!! Only thing i wish for is a 6th gear.

TOAST3R

the gap insurance will cover your ___ if it ever gets totaled and the insurance company gives you less than you owe on it. but its better to get that from your insurance company instead of dealer, i pay 40 a yr i think for it, and once i have more the vehicle paid off than its worth i can just take it off
