Better than I expected

Very spacious, comfortable. Average 30 MPG, very peppy, not at all like I expected, very responsive steering, not a soft ride but not uncomfortable at all, really like the XB

Best first car

The car is a great car for first time drivers. Never had any issues and always had the cheapest inspections and oil changes. The inside is a little dated but cannot be damaged by a messy teen.

Small but a lot of space

I like the style of the design. Small with a lot of space inside. The seat is cool and mid level not too low. The only thing is that its weak going uphill and accelerating. But have had this for about 10 years and has been good to me. Easy maintenance.

I'll miss this little car

My parents bought this car in 2006 when it was new, and I eventually inherited it over time when I grew older, got a job, and needed a car. At first I hated the looks of the car, but I really grew to love it for it's uniqueness. This car really spoiled me in terms of visibility. I doubt I'll ever own another car with such an incredible view and really no blind spots to speak of. Yes, the engine is gutless, and it's hard to pass sometimes on the freeway. In the mountains, you can hear the engine trying so hard on the inclines, but it always makes it. Never did this car break down, and I could always count on it to start. I had zero problems with it, and planned on keeping it for a long time into the future. Unfortunately, I was hit by another much bigger car in July, which completely destroyed my xB and badly injured me. But honestly, I love this car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable little car with good gas mileage. I will miss it.

Best car ever!!!

It has plenty of leg room. You could sleep in it if you really had to. It's mostly set for the city but I was really shocked it could go off road.

I love my Scion XB and would buy another one!

This car is the best car I have ever own. It is roomy, dependable, and the best part about is that it is gas efficient. I will NEVER buy a gas guzzler again. I would buy another Scion in a heartbeat!

Ugly at first, then my favorite car.

Great for parking in the city because it is small, yet decent storage space for hauling. Lots of headroom.
