"Wanted a low cost hauler that would acomodate a threesome. Good gas mileage, peppy acceleration, and good Toyota reliabililty. Upgraded radio a bonus, iPod ready. tons of room inside. I'm 6'5" and it swallows me up, with ball cap on."

"I traded a 06 Highlander Hybrid for our 09 XB because I have always maintained my own cars and I had no understanding of the hybrid, (two) of everything. The mpg is better 30 plus on trips. I like the XB better then the Hylander other then the ride, it is choppy, however, I think when I replace the sport tires with touring ones it will ride better. It drives like high sport car with a great view of the road. It has as much usual space inside as the Hybrid.The placement the gages is great and at night the color make them outstanding.If it had a 5 sp auto trans, running lights, and headlight cut off when the engine is cut off it would be a great car. It is a good buy for the price,$19K with everything."

"I'm not young and have driven many cars. I recommend the xb for the following reasons: -I love the analog and digital displays'large and easy to read. I do not understand why other reviews had a problem with this, I assume they can't find anything else to grip about. -easy to get in and out b/c it higher up -nice features that come standard, see web site. -roomy and powerful for the size and price.I haul 8ft lumber with all doors closed. -a very good value. -my wife likes the large foot room to put her purse. Things to change: `lighter color interior (only comes in black, to hot in Texas). `I wish all cars had adjustable (front and back) head rest. I've only seem hieght adjustment. IF scion could get a double articulating adjustable headrest they would have to perfect car."

"I never considered a Scion until I drove one. This car offers more bang for the buck than Honda, Hyundai, Kia, VW or Mazda. Had my heart set on a 'Speed 3 or GTI but was worried about Mazda's & VW's reliability.The engine has more than adequate power and it handles and rides very well. I think you have to look very hard to find a better, more pratical car for the money. Mileage has been better than advertised (29-30) (have 5 speed) Only thing I'd change is put the gauges back where they belong! Color selection is limited but I love Blackberry Crush!"

"I drive alot ! I put over 12K a year on a car. I just purchased this and took it on an 800 mile sales trip. I loved it. It was very comfortable , easy to drive, and great on gas .. I would buy this car over and over again. I test drove a Camry and this car drives better in my opinion."

"Fun to drive. Better mpg than rated. Very happy with center gages, not blocked by steeing wheel. Terrific engine/auto transmission. Very comfy on long trips. At 8,000 miles no problems. Zippy response in traffic, and takes big hills with ease."

"Currently in the middle of my 2nd long vacation drive, and the car has been a joy to drive. The storage space is great, it is easy to handle, and big hills are no problem. Have been getting 31-32 mpg on the trip, exceeding my expectations."

"Impressive acceleration! Exterior design is soothing to the eyes (in fact very cute), roomy inside. One thing I like too is the height of the vehicle is not to low neither not too high. Another plus is the ease of maneuvering. It is also a parking space friendly vehicle - and saves a lot of space in my garage! It would really look better if roof rack is a standard feature; which will also make the height look a little bit taller. Since, there's enough room overhead, a sunglass holder or a pocket pouch would be nice to have in the center overhead. If I have enough money, I will trade-in one of my old cars and buy another one with a different color."
