got an xA

Post by ramenboy... »

not really. i have my vibe and will for a long time. but my girfriend's beater finally died over the weekend, and she really needed a car (job won't wait for a couple weeks for delivery). so we went to a dealer, test drove the xA and took it home.i know some of you here don't care for it, but its grown on me in the last day and a half. roomy enough, sits high like the vibe, in fact aside from the kinda choppy ride (its about 2 feet shorter than the vibe) it has about the same amenities. the center mounted dash and tach are reminiscent of a mini...in fact the overall shape reminds me of the mini.what really got me is how much there is out there to mod out the car. body kits, spoilers, euro taillights...and thats 0UTSIDE what can be had at the dealer.i'll post pics of both cars when the 30mph winds die down

I only like the TC... my cuz has the XB, they are nice lil cars.they have dealer 18" chromes with a cold air intake. but they felt really slow when i punched it. it wasnt what i expected but they get good gas and they have 10X the mods we have for our car!enjoy the new ride

I would've gotten one if the rear storage area would have been bigger, and they have HUGE aftermarket support. Definitely take pics and get some rims on it fast, you can't imagine how much it helps the look of it. It's like day and night!

yeah..it seems like that's where the 2 ft are lost...in the rear hatch area. there's not much room back there, but fold the seat (s) down, and its not badapparently, tC stands for toyota celica... a replacement, since the celica is no longer made...yeah that's a nice model, but i'm not the one driving...i've got my vibe, she'll be driving the xA
