Recently purchased and loving it

I'm really enjoying driving a manual transmission again. Bought this car for a roomier family car and it fits the bill. The back seat is spacious and the trunk holds the stroller and more. I plan to add a roof rack soon so we can take the Scion on road trips and camping.

Love this Car!

This was my first car I ever purchased. I love everything about it. It has been extremely reliable and functional. When people sit in the back seat of my car, they always comment on how roomy the back seat is! It's an awesome first car!

Best car for the money

Reliable, inexpensive, good on gas, tons of interior room. This car is basically a Toyota Camry with the scion label. If you are looking for a reliable car for getting to work and back and can carry five people comfortably this is it. When seats fold they lay flat which makes the cargo room more useful than other small vehicles

Great little car

We bought this used 2009 Scion Xb for our 17 year old son, and he has been absolutely thrilled with it. He wanted a Kia Soul, but the Xb was a better value. The 16 valve 4 cylinder has a lot of pep, and it has been averaging 28 mpg in the city. The car is comfortable to drive, has great visibility, and the interior is spacious for a smaller car. It has plenty of room for 3 sets of golf clubs in the back with the rear seat up. We are very pleased with this purchase. The car was very well maintained by the previous owner.

Burn oil and loud interior nose from road.

This car was a great buy in term of price. However, we started to notice it burn more oil than all other vehicle we ever owned. Also, it's very loud inside the car. You road/ground noise is very loud.
