Sorry to dissappoint you Grave, but we went ahead with an SVT Focus.

Here are some pictures from the autotrader page:

That's not mine, but it's a picture.

Mine is the 2005 model, british racing green with a white roof. 5-speed manual transmission. 35mpg. With 130-ish horsepower, this thing is a beast. The acceleration on it is actually pretty bad, but once it gets going it's fast. For anyone planning on getting one: don't get the sport seats. Uncomfortable little fuckers if you drive for more than an hour.

I love Mini's. I think that I could definitely live with one, even a regular model. Well, that would be if I didn't just get the car two posts above. I drove from Orlando to Jacksonville at 75-80 mph, and still managed 35 mpg. I love its transmission... It's great shifting gears in a car after driving a pickup for so long.

Didn't we do this thread once already? Anyways, I rock the box:



2005 Scion xB.

How do you like that car?

How is the milage compared to the xA? (I can squeeze 40mpg out of my xA if I really want to.)

I typically got about 28mpg out of my xB. My current hyundai which both weighs more and has 30 more horses gets about 31mpg. So yeah, the fact that that thing is a completely unaerodynamic box is a big set back in the gas department.

Yeah I get around 30 out of my xB. If you ride it hard the mileage drops and if you drive like a complete pansy it goes up. I just got cruise installed on it a few days ago so we'll see if that helps out in the mileage department.

Love it, though. Tons of room and good gas mileage. My last car was a '96 Civic and I wouldn't trade it back for anything.

I almost got an xB. I went from a Rav4 to an xA... it was a bit jarring.

The xA is strangely enough, pretty roomy inside. The xB must be like a fucking cave.

It's huge - I'm 6'2" and my head is still like a foot from the roof when I sit inside. Compare that to my old Civic where I basically had to kick my seat back or stick my head out the sunroof.

I hauled home this SNES kiosk in the xB. If the legs were a bit shorter I could have fit it all the way in and closed the hatch - but as it was I only had to have the hatch open a bit. For size reference that's a 25" TV on there and the thing stands about 7' tall.

Neat kiosk. Want a DC one to go with it?
