Go for it!
When you have a low horsepower car like this, you need to change your mindset. I sold my 5.0 V8 Mustang to get a Scion. I just tell myself to "cruise", not punch it and try to outrun everyone just to make a lane change. I'm not saying you can't or that the car won't perform, just that when you are used to lots of horsepower and torque, there is going to be an attitude adjustment.
I love my Scion XA <3

I've thought of doing that with the GTP also but just can't bring myself to it yet. I still love the rush I get from it when I punch it.

I too am building a nice high HP VW ('79 Scirocco) but have decided to go for the XB as a daily driver. I test drove one yesterday and absolutely loved it. it handled great, and had enough pep to make me happy. Although I think i will be getting a turbo upgrade for it eventually

well the parts are a plenty, if you think you want to modify your Scion, and they are about the most comfortable daily driver I have had... considering my previous rides were 81 Mercedes 500, 79 Camaro, 68 Mustang, 88 Prelude, 00 Focus, 71 Ford Grand Torino, 84 Toyota Starlet.... and a few more... and the xB is my favorite hands down !

That is my situation, I am letting my 98 4.6 V8 Mustang go, for a xB. I am sure I will have to reming myself to cruise also, but damn I will look good in my new RS 1.0!!!!
