Cons: Unique isn't pretty in this case, acceleration, mediocre interior materials

Being a Gen-Xer, the xB has been my first new-car purchase ever. I've had it only a little over a week, but I can say this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I bought the xB for four main reasons, in order of importance to me: 1. Fuel ...
