2011 Scion xB consumer reviews

We bought this car new in 2011. It is currently at the mechanic shop to have a full inspection. We have performed only routine maintenance to the car - brakes, wipers, oil. I replaced the battery this year just as a precaution. The only work will be to correct intermittent dash warning lights, so replacing the rear wheel seals/bearings to deal with an ABS sensor issue. My wife loves her car and wants to get a lot more years out of it.

Love my 2011 Scion XB more than any car I have owned. Only good things to say about it . Wanted one for years. Finally got one!

Absolutely great vehicle except for oil consumption issues. Have owned a 2008 and presently own 2011 XB. Both have oil consumption problems. Toyota would like me to believe that a quart of oil every 1500 miles is normal(which is what it is now) and will not do anything unless it becomes a quart every 1200 miles. Toyota knew about this issue the whole time they sold XB's and did nothing to correct it. Overall great vehicle but I don't understand Toyota's approach to this engine oil problem.

xB is awesome. You sit in hatchback and feel like you sitting in a SUV. It's fun and is true, that is most reliable car i've owned. First xB i buy in 2008 with ~4000 miles on it. I owned till 2017 fall.(~180,000miles). My wife driving this car, and all my kids grew up and driving this car. Reliable car. No much electronics. Like a sensors, modules or something else. Just couple of them. Very simple vehicle. Accelerator pedal, brake pedal, heating, A/C, radio. That's it. There is no headache with electronic malfunctions or mechanical problems. Just regular maintenance. If you take care this vehicle in time and do in time regular maintenance, this car works for you a long time. Yes, rear wheel bearings and several different parts cost a lot, for a car like this one (who is not expensive). It's not a MB, BMW or Lexus. But anyway, you change once and forget about this in the future. It's fun to drive to. With 158 hp @ 6,000+ rpm and that gearbox (similar little bit to SMG gearbox in BMW) this car is like flying. When kids gives me a ride :) I'm sometimes feel like driving a superbike. If you have an automatic transmission and drived manually, the gear never changed if you don't want to. I am glad that my young lady's do not know how to drive manually and do not use it. Also. It would be nice if this car comes with a heated, electric front seats and leather. Minus is - the driver's seat is a little bit a high to sit. So, in short talk, a good car and fun to drive it.

Wonderful car. Can haul dressers, lazyboys, and washers. But the engine has oil consumption issues. Roomy enough for tall people.

My daughter had Toyota RAV4 that was wonderful for years. Recent repair cost estimates exceeded the car's value, so we went to trade in for a newer used car. To our delight we found this Scion, which matched perfectly with her goals of comfort, safety, style, and room for weekend cargo and beach trips.

Great fit for my life style. Throughly enjoyed owning it. Highly recommended it. Look forward to driving it again.

It's just right for the price. I wish they still made them. I could only buy a used one. But since they are well made I didn't mind getting one with 84,000 miles on it.

The 2011 x b has a manual trans. which makes it a little bit of work driving. I like a manual for the connection to driving and find automatic trans. vehicles a bit boring. It is amazing how much you can haul with such a compact toaster of a vehicle.

Very reliable and comfortable car. I've had my car for 6 years and still drives great. I love the style of the car and the room from the hatchback.
