    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 😂

    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.

    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.
