Finally just got it yesterday. Odometer says 11 miles on it. I believe I got a great deal ($14,100.) on it seeing as it comes with 17 inch Motegi DP6 wrapped in Nitto NeoGens, TRD cat-back, TRD Strut tower brace, and full lip kit. I got a Tein coilover kit coming already so the big gap between the tire and the wheel wells will dissapear.

More pics later.

14.1k, you can't beat that with a stick! Good job, i want to get one but my wife woulden't drive it. So i think in the future we might be getting two Fit's. Unfortuantely my wife REFUSES to drive standards. I think it has something to do with her driving the old Foxbody as her first standard car.

I like it even with the lack of power.

I like these more and more.

They're growing on me a lot too, I wanna drive one with the TRD supercharger to see if that helps out in the power category :evilgrin:

far from it....the supercharger is got to be the weakest performing one ever made, well except for the famous "electric supercharger"

...but then again, not many companies back it up with warranty(which is why its soo weak):thumbup:

Yep, the only thing good about that ride is the gas mileage. That and you go do a bunch of aftermarket parts now. Thank god for that, cause the all stock is :thumbdown

All that matter though is if you like it or not. Just not for me, that is for sure.

Also how did you only get 17mpg in your focus? Did you mod the hell out of it?

Alright! Another Wisconsin xB owner on Focaljet!

Here's mine.
So far, it's got 16x7 A-tech Finalspeeds, 205/50/16 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, Tein S-tech springs, Espelir JGT500 exhaust and H&R 15mm studded wheel spacers on the rear.

I'm in La Crosse every now and then (I've got family there), plus I got married outside of there in Minnesota (just south of Winona).

Nice car! :thumbup:

How'd you get around the Scion "Pure Pricing" of $15,xxx dollars?

nice summer car but i dont like it you should of gotten the TC they are alot better
TC a better "sports" car than the xB? Yes.

TC a better economy/utility/practical car than the xB? No way.

You can't beat the xB for economy, utility, and overall practicality. We crammed four 6'4"-ish adults in my xB (including myself driving) into mine for a nice 160-mile trip. Rear seat honestly has more leg room than most mid-full size SUVs...even with me behind the wheel AND I still averaged about 34mpg on the highway. Can't beat that for $14k. :thumbup:
