"I've had my car for 1 month and 1000 miles on it, no problems. Fuel average for stop and go driving is about 22 miles per gallon. The standard stereo systems is just that and it sounds like it. You might want to upgrade to the next radio level if you spend a lot of time driving. Only thing I also miss and you can't get is heated side mirrors. With winter coming I hope it handles as well as my 08 Jetta did."

"I have owned this vehicle since the beginning of september and i love it, it has so much space and is very well equipped. I was planning on getting an elantra due to the hype and the gas mileage after looking at toyota corollas (horribly equipped for the price) i saw the xb and gave it a shot and loved it. After owning it i am concerned for the gas mileage its not that great avg around 20ish city and that i didnt have an option for a sun roof unless i were to wait for the release series. otherwise its amazing and for the price i could install ten sunroofs and still pay less than honda hyundai or any other manufaturer with a comparable car"

"I was looking for an economical, fun car with max cargo space. After a bunch of research it came down to the XB and the Honda Element. The better looks, lower price and options with the base model XB sold me so I went for a XB test drive and once I realized it had plenty of pep for a 4 banger I bought one. Overall I am really enjoying my XB. Averaging about 23.5 mpg doing mostly around town driving with the AC on. My only complaints it it could use another inch or two leg room in front (I'm 6' 1") and while the telescope wheel helps that too could extend another 2" to be perfect. Also the base sound system leaves something to be desired as the tweeters are annoyingly sharp (I replaced the speakers with Boston Acoustics components and all is well for my listening; classic roch, old R&B and oldies). The handling is crisp and the interior soom is outstanding for a vehicle this size."
