I don't know what you are complaining about with the A/C. As long as the outside temperature is less than 60 degrees, it works fine. The brakes aren't that bad, as long as you don't have to stop right away. I questioned the dealer about the weak interior lighting and he assured me it would not be a problem during the day. People always ask me about the clowns. Clowns, clowns, clowns, clowns. I tell them I didn't get the clown option. I tell them I got the imbecile detector instead and unless they go away it will sound at any moment.

Haha... good read.... I suppose all these little quirks I pointed out give the car character.... which is a good thing as most Japanese cars lack character entirely....

Lots of complaints about the A/C for you '04/'05 guys and gals. Were there changes made to the A/C system for '06? 'Cause we had a few hot days left (temps in the upper 80's) before fall hit, and my A/C was great.

The only things I don't like about my XB are the seat travel and no telescoping wheel but it's still pretty comfortable. minor quibbles really. my only major quibble is that I can't find the button to make it transform in to a 15 ft tall *** kicking robot!
