Hey I just was reading through the manual and found a couple of cool things.

DID YOU KNOW the car comes with a tire pressure warning system??? It says "When replacing the tires and wheels, be sure to install tire pressure warning valves and transmitters. ID codes on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are registered in the tire pressure warning ECU. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code fo the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Have the ID code registered by your Scion dealer."

There is a little button under the steering column on the knee bolster to reset the tire pressure warning system.

FYI, the auxillary input next to the Ipod is for any audio device that you can connect via a mini jack.

 

MmmMM.. Pastrami burgers and chili cheese fries.....

Man that single back up light is so bright. You should do an HID conversion on that thing.

Very nice pics. So i'm counting 4 cup holders?? and an Armrest. I want one now!!

 

Yeah all low fat.

Actually 4 cup holders, 4 bottle holders in the doors.

 

Yeah.. put some salt in my wounds and Rub it in!

On the back part by the cargo area I see an empty spot. I wonder why they didn't put a window back there. What can you use that space for? So the tire pressure sensor came standard? Man they really hooked up this xB2.

 

NICE

 

few things from a tC guy do you think they can keep up with a tC and if the xB got the 2.4 leter whats the 2nd gen tC gettin??? mabey a v6? or mabey a supra motor?

 

hmmm, lots of nice features for sure. I still gotta say, the 22/28 on that window sticker kills it for me. I couldnt imagine going back to that low of mileage again

 

We plan on putting 6" subs in the C pillar pockets, and yes the tire pressure sensors are standard

 

Wow that would look nice. Pics when yu guys do it. But that would be a good place to put it without sacrificing cargo space unless you want to put more subs in the cargo area.

 

That is the new 2008 rating, which is more strict. All cars will go down in 2008. If the 2nd gen had been rated in 2007, it would have scored 25/31. If the 2006 (1st gen) had been scored in 2008, it would get 26/30.

In other words, it is about a 3 mpg drop from the old xB, or less than 10%.

 

this just makes me all the more excited about getting mine i a few weeks.

great post man.

 

Awesome, awesome review!

Thanks

 

i hope they make the xb a part of there line up forever.

 

With it being their most successful and popular model, i dont think we have to worry about there being no more xB's.

 

Lovin' these two pics!

 

quick question....

on the pic of the dash cluster, what is the little green lightbulb an indicator for?

 

Great ride with nice pics...I notice your speedo is reading KM/H and not MP/H...Not sure if i'm wrong but I think it needs to swithed the MP/H...Just a wondering....

 

Means your headlights are on I think.

 

great write up

 

great pics! you captured just about every feature of the new xB. The nsx is awesome. god i love those f'n cars
