    Best car ever!

    Almost perfect. One shortcoming is low gas mileage for this market segment. However the car has lots of spunk and acceleration. Needs a variable or ten speed transmission to improve mileage. Otherwise amazing car.

    Its a Toyota, Enough Said!

    I used to have a 2005 xB but it was stolen years ago, since then been through a Honda which my daughter now owns and own a 2016 Corolla which is my wifes, I bought a Lexus Is300 and car was just getting too old. Enter 15 years later I was looking for an small SUV and I ran across this gem. 2015 Scion XB in Red with Every TRD option, from the 19" Rims to TRD Exhaust, TRD springs, swaybars, Upgraded alarm with glass break sensors, Upgraded Bespoke Audio with Navigation, Auto Dimming mirror and remote start and optional rear spoiler. Car belonged to a Toyota corporate employee so they packed on the options and as a one owner car it only had 32,000 miles. Wow! Did I mention the car is Red! Took this car on a trip from El paso to San Antonio and from reviews they say gas mileage is so-so, I was actually surprised as this car used almost 3/4 of the 14 gallon tank from el paso to san antonio. Kept it under 75 to 70mph. Lots of room for the kids and plenty of luggage space and with the way this car came setup with all the options it doesnt look like the ordinary xB. Get alot of compliments as the whole car is TRD'd out. Sporty, practical, good looking, great handling, roomy, comfortable seats and Full Pioneer stereo from the factory and did I mention its a Toyota engine under the hood. Win Win. Love this car. If you can find one of these thats well taken care of get it. These cars can last upwards in the 400,000 mile range, seen some with 389,000 miles and I was sold that they are still on the road.

    lotta space, comfy ride, decent MPG,NAV=meh

    Love the interior space. Exterior looks - great. Handles fine. decent MPG - 25.8 . USB in the console very inconvenient. 1 12V accessory plug is not enough, BTW. Radio is pretty nice, the NAV is meh. not intuitive - code for probably it is smarter than me. Good visibility if you remove rear headrests. Leisurely performance.

    Bought one for my kid/loved it/bought one for me

    Pickup guy turned xb dude. Getting on the highway? No problem. Roomy? Surprisingly! Handles like a go cart in the best sense. Your town approving ridiculously tight parking lots at box store campuses? A snap! Ranch roads? Please. (Mine isn't lowered like my kid's) All my friends could not believe I bought one! If I bought one, you should give it a shot! Lastly, it don't kill my back like all other cars seem to. 4 hour trip to S.F. Let's go!

    Great car, just bought it yesterday though.

    I have fallen in love with Scion XBs. My former Scion was the best car I ever had that was my own bought and paid for. It was a Scion XB 2006. I loved the box, but this time I had the chance to get something newer, so I decided on that. This car does not have the same personality as the last one, not as quirky, more sophisticated. More adult, I guess. In the box, I always felt like a young hippie chick, but in this one, I feel like I should be wearing pearls. But it's really a very nice car and I am happy to have one that might last a little longer. Great stereo, watch your speed though, so smooth it's easy to go fast! Still has a lot of extra room in back, and in the passenger seats.

    I LOVE IT

    I always wanted an XB since they had that blocky, boxy design back in 2005. I stumbled upon this 2015 version when I was shopping for my first car in my own name (independent of my parents). Compared to my previous car (a 2004 Jeep Wrangler), my Scion XB runs smoother, is better on gas (22 mpg and 28 highway I believe), and is much easier to maintain. I drove it from Wilkes-Barre, PA to Providence Rhode Island this past weekend and it gave me no problems at all. It's look is more sleek and modern compared to its older 2005 counterpart, giving it more appeal to people other than myself who like boxy looking cars. The ONLY quam I have about the car is that its FWD and not AWD. I live in an area where it snows heavily in the winter and I might have some trouble getting around. But if you live in an area like me where its only for part of the year or you live somewhere where it doesnt snow much, this shouldnt be an issue.
