The 2025 will be Hondas first full frame vehicles hopefully it doesn’t ruin the smooth ride we shall see.
A restaurant near me had an xB delivery car for years and it always gave me a good laugh. Not too long ago they replaced it with a Scion iQ, arguably an even funnier car 😂
I found a 2006 with 158k miles on it but they want 14k for it, it’s a great truck but is also turning 20 in 2 years 😢
Awesome car and review! A party trick you missed is that you can remove the front seat headrests, push the seats completely forward, then recline them back completely flat. By lying the front passenger seat flat I was able to carry a complete prehung standard interior door in the xB. Amazing! The unusually tall trunk is a game changer. It is also remiss to not mention how it compared to the Gen 2 xB.
I totally agree with you BUT your friend got taken for a ride . Yes it had low miles when he bought it But still the car is over 10 years old. At the price that he paid for it they could have at least gave him 4 brand new tires And some other little extras. Only good thing about this deal was it wasn't a CVT transmission And the engine is second to none. I think if he kept it for 5 years he could turn around and sell it for at least $10,000 provided that the mileage is very attractive to a buyer.
If you’d have used Plasti Dip it would be the same look but much more durable that paint. Adding Glossifier would give you the clear Coat look too! Way less prep and just as nice a look. And if it does get damaged you can peel it all off and redo it.
Hey Bern 👋
I like how your socks match the car…now about your taste in shorts…ahem.
Whats wrong with them? LOL
I like a man who never looks in a mirror…it shows confidence! Love your reviews…had a Tercel wagon which reminds me of this. Lots of fun in the snow with skinny tires and a 5 speed.
The Toyotas designed for people on their last legs. If they drove any faster, their buyer's skin would tear off
LOL that is acurate 😂
I've got my old xc90 V8 R that's a bit over 200k thatI would love to do some softroading in. Gotta get some smaller wheels, I have a set of OEM 18s and the stock 19s and neither has enough sidewall for my liking 😂
Nice!! Yeah with smaller wheels they feel much better on the dirt!
Great review! Thank you. My SIL has a yellow one.
Thank you! Oh nice love them in yellow!
Great review! Keep them coming!
Thank you sir!!
The way you said economical made me laugh. i always wanted one, but i think I'll keep my 4runners
LOLL, yeahh 4Runner for me too
Nissan had the Cube at the time, but it wasn't sold in North America until about 2009. It also wasn't as boxy as the XB though.
Yeah and the 2nd Gen xB wasn't as boxy as the original either!
Scion XB has always looked like a mini-hearse ... Dead to rights ...
LOL mini hearse 🤣
Another masterpiece Bern. Love your reviews.
I appreciate that! Thanks for staying tuned!
I test drove one of these last week...I want one. Fast and sophisticated. I am driving a 2024 Integra Type S I bought last summer, and this is a better car!
Nice!! Yeah the TLX is superior!!
Yesss more old cars, Bern! We grew up with these and I love deep dives into them
Yess they definitely wont stop!!
Would this fit in a p2 volvo v70 s60 or xc70
Unfortunately it won't I think the screen is too big
Really enjoyed the video love the LX470
Thank you!!
Just sold our 2010 ex with 155k miles Had it since brand new I already miss it.
Oh wow nice! Yeah bittersweet for sure
This car isn’t a hooptie ! It’s a luxury.
Great review! I purchased my 2000 access cab in Jan 2001 . It has been a great truck. Now has 112 k on it. In Michigan so a new frame in 2015. Its black beautiful and looks rust free ready for another 23 years.
Wow sweeet!! Yeah I wish you many years to come with it!
please say something about subaru 2013 non turbo am still confuse between 2.0 i L and 2.0i S 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i loook all your page i don't see any
Did you get them from Honda ?
Offerup 😂
Love my 0 7 xc90. I'll likely always have it. 300 thousand and works great. Just waiting for prices to come down
Nice! Worth it to keep for sure!
Awesome vehicles, the best ones are 2004-2006
I agree!
Really a track day,you're a duffus..
Thank you 😁
Good video bro , I have an 05 with coilovers and I can say the coilovers really make a big difference on handling , not the fastest by any means but moves great !
Thanks man! Oh wow thats good to know haha
Cool channel bro thank you 😂
And thank you!!
NICE NICE LEXUS IS 300 YELLOW 🟡🟡🟡💛💛💛🟡💛💛
YES NICE YELLOW!!
These FM platform cars have absolutely stood the test of time. Great reliability, and tons of overhead for modding. So much bang for the buck
They really are durable after seeing what so many of them go through haha
Hello what kinfa lug nuts did you use?, You said you used 3 different. I have the same 2007 accord and i wsnt to do this. Can you explain it to me please
Great review. Great car that has a balanced approach to being a sports sedan vs its German competition. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but a very unique car that stands out for being different
Thank you! Yeah well said. It's a great choice!
28:45 😂
LOLL annoying bugs man!
I have D5 but also want the V8 Now!
V8 sound awesome!!
Led lights blind people and cause accidents
I have a 2011 I love her. She’s family.
Nice, as she should be!! I wish you many years to come with her!
Great car. Phenomenal value in the segment. Now, try and find one for sale. Dealers do not have them in stock or on the way. Ridiculous.
Right! I've seen some in my area thankfully! Not much though, and the markups are stupiddd
Does this once have VCM variable cylinder deactivation
It does!
Loved driving this!
It's such a blast!
my '15 GS has 77k miles and i would be hard pressed to replace it and be as happy as i am with the GS. I will probably never sell the car. It gets whatever it needs, but it never needs much beyond the usual fluids and brakes. It's a one in a million.
Nice! Yeah man, there's nothing else to replace it!
Worst $%#$ car I have ever been within several miles of. EVERYTHING breaks. Costs a fortune. A constant nightmare. Buyer beware. You will HATE this car.
It just like Mazda no touch screen
Yeah annoying!
I still can't settle for the cars that have the tablet thrown on the dash!
Sadly that's everything now too 🥲
I bought an 08 100 thousand miles literally fell apart in 5000 miles timing chain stretch bad valve water pump ,idler pulley,powersteering pump,ac compressor brakes locked up steering rack issue and transmission shuddering pos overpriced over rated junk
Damn what a pile. That's a shame
Dude, as a proud Previa owner (x2) I’d like to clarify it is a SportVan. It says so on the title. Therefore even though it was competing with minivans, it is not in fact a minivan. Best vehicles I’ve ever had and I still regret getting rid of my first one. It had 240k miles and still ran like a champ.
Great review! TLX is a great looking car / package. I love the durability of Hondas K Series, so I would go for the ASpec. Not fast, yeah yeah I know, but that’s not a priority for me.
Thank you! Yeah it's nice they offer the K in them too for different flavors! Those are still fun too!!
Can't beilieve Acura uses a timing belt for such a complex engine. Also, the type S is a very fun car and it is so easy to drive fast. Anyone can get in the car and rip it
Yeah right, that's Honda for ya haha. You certainly are right about that!
