Congrats boomee. BTW Nautical Blue is almost an "RS" color, as only about 2700 were made in that color and only for 2008. In my eyes Nautical Blue is a nice "deep" color, I wish it was available when I bought my 2011.

They "replaced" Nautical Blue with Elusive Blue which in my opinion is not at all the same. Not trying to hate, but to my eyes Elusive Blue does not have nearly the same deep color quality as Nautical Blue. Just my opinion.

Enjoy your ride! Don't let your wife steal it! Oh and let us know what mods you do on it. Let's start with a spoiler, and some springs...

Just FYI (at least for 2011 and earlier) we only have "dumb" ignition keys (no electronics in the key required to start the car). I'm pretty sure the 2012s and 2013s are the same way.

So if you don't need the remote controls, you can take your ignition key to places like Orchard Supply Hardware and have a spare key made for about $5 (that's what I did).

I, actually, use copies of the originals AS my main keys. One is kept in reserve as a master for future copies, then the 2 remote ones are used when I want/need the feature.
I've had old cars where the original key gets worn down enough that it either gets finicky or stops working entirely. Rekeying ain't cheap, so I am trying not to have to do that . . . ever for any non-chipped key (less and less are that way, unfortunately).

I think the biggies are the coils and (on some models) the wiring harness. Some people (me included) developed a leaky water pump. Look for a pink stripe on the underside of the hood. I'm pretty sure that it would have shown up on your xB by now though. Even if it does still show up I would think Toyota would take care of you since it is a known issue.
