Better than I expected

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.

Great all around

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.

Fun car to drive!

I never would have thought I'd like this car but one test drive and I was hooked. I love it! Sporty and responsive. Traded in my mustang and never looked back.

Fun to Drive

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.

Very Spacious, and Gas Efficient Cute Car

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.

Loved it so much iv'e bought 2!

I love this car. I had an '06 XB and totaly fell in love with it. Since then I traded it in on the new '09. It is slightly larger than the previous models but it has more saftey features too. Whats more is the first years maintenance is comped by scion.

me like, a lot

Love this car. Got it with my son in mind as a hand me down when he gets his licence in 3 yrs. Plenty of safety features. Awesome audio! Mileage not as good as expected but good none the less. Small drivers compartment for the larger driver ( knee rests against the center console ). I'd buy another.
