Default Look @ other cars

If you look @ other cars, they all have flaws also, but they all cost alot more money.
I don't really have any complaints because I researched the vehicle before I bought one. I like it so much that I just bought a second!!! Check out my profile

Every mentiond can be dealt with and in most cases isn't a big deal. I definitely think the ride is too bumpy, and when it's bumpy, you are uncomfortable.

like alot of people here mention i have to say the biggest flaw is the tranny. I mean really it should be a 6 spd or the gears have to be adjusted like hard core, cuz i mean cruisin here on jersey highways is at 75 80mph and well frankly i'm sitting at 3.5 almost 4k rpms at that speeds its rediculous it really needs another gear or some major tweeking. thats about it, otherwise i love my friggin box cargo room? i dont see why people are arguing the only differance between our XB's and a ford expedition is 2 cu. ft. i mean i gotta say thats a crap load of room lol but whatever like i said better gear ratios would be nice or a 6th gear.

Well I was so excited when I bought my Scion that I didn't even thik to bother about asking about cruise control....It is a must especially now that I live in Montana again.

And then there's the power thing It could definetly use another 20-35 hp and trq. And yes this could have been done cheaply, without beefing everything else up. They just figured since this car went good in Japan it would have enough oomph, well I've been through many a mountain pass and it just isn't gonna cut it.
And oh yeah it's hard to get 300 hundred miles out of a tank, this was an easy feat acheived by my 91 corolla with the same size tank, wait maybe I should just do a little engine swap.
