After around 2 years of Focus ST ownership, I drove my old xB again

When I got my FoST, I sold my old xB to my dad, and I got to spend some time behind the wheel with it again after not driving it for almost 2 years, and my god, I forgot how fun this thing is. It’s so pure and wonderful and perfect. It made me start to miss it.

Maybe I can buy it back and throw a Blitz supercharger on it and go nuts.

The first generation xB is one of their best.

I still kind of want one of those for a daily driver.

Didn’t it have some weak eco engine and a high cog and seats that had no lateral support and made you sit like you were on a stool? How is that fun?

Do it! Those are the best Scions out there (yes over the FRS. Sorry.)

No, on all counts.

The engine only has 108hp, but it is massively rev-happy and is all kinds of shits & giggles with the 5-speed.

The COG is low for its height as the whole drivetrain is really low in the car, the grille between the headlights is a fake, the radiator & most of the motor only reaches to the top of the front bumper.

The seats have really good sculpting and I never had a problem with them when autocrossing.

How about the 3rd gen Accent hatch then? I think that would be fun to drive for all the reasons you stated then. Plus it looks so cute!

Dunno, never drove one.

Unlike you, I base my opinion of cars on having driven them. I don’t just dismiss them out of hand for being cheap, or low power, or because someone said they sucked.

Yikes calm down dude. I just state the facts, didnt dismiss anything. But you had to get butthurt like its a personal attack. Anyways, can an xB be fun? Probably. But then I’d wager youd say anything small is fun.
