  My little white SHOE - 2009 Scion XB
  By Walt Stevens - December 15 - 6:16 am

  Well, I have been looking at the Scion Xb,s for some time. I went from an average of 14.7 ml/gal Truck to 26 ml/gal. Although the Xb is smaller on the road, it has a big roomy interior. Very good pick-up and has the go power when needed, a little bit bumpy ride but is tolerable, a little road noise but again is tolerable. My wife drove the XB for 4 days When I was out of town, she said she had more fun driving it then her new Toyota Avalon. told me that I could drive her car all the time. She loved the XB. . My Wife loves the interior and the extra leg room in the back, and My grand kids, think its a cool car over all. I did test drive other small cars , the Scion Xb won hands down.

  Love it! - 2009 Scion XB

  Went from a 2007 Durango Limited to the 2009 xB. We went from 14 mpg to 28 mpg (although to give the Durango credit. Yeah..it has a HEMI!. We werent sure if we would like something as small as the xB with both of us being "real" sized people. The xB has a lot of room inside and is very comfortable. We have had it for about 2 months and have had no problems at all. It is surprisingly peppy for a 4 cyl and handles great!

  Old Folks Car - 2009 Scion XB
  By Ed McCormack - October 22 - 10:50 pm

  I am 66 and 64" 280# and I was looking for a suv that I could fit in and get good gas mileage. My Scion xb 09 is great. Plenty of room and more pep than I ever thought it could have. Dont hesitate and dont listen to your grandchildren when they say "box"; they change their minds when the see it. If you are in Houston call Beth at Fred Haas Toyota in Spring; when my 95 Tahoe quit on the day we were to pick up our new xb she drove 80 miles to pick us up. Service beyond the call. Hard to find these days. We are not related or anything. Ed

  Cant complain - 2009 Scion XB
  By gman - September 29 - 10:16 pm

  This car is super reliable and practical. Thats why I bought it and it didnt disappoint there. But I just dont find it very fun to drive, which is turning out to be more important to me than I thought. Also the interior feels a bit cheap and I find the ride to be jarring over rough pavement.

  I wish never bought it - 2009 Scion XB
  By Sam lathou - September 2 - 9:56 am

  I’ve had my 09 XB for over 7 months brand new. And since day one at over 40 M/H pulls to the right. Complained to Toyota but no action was taken. I don’t like it at all, sheep car yet I paid over $19500 cash for it. Took it to another shop and was told rear left tire out of alignment but Toyota didn’t provide adjustment for the rear and NO TIE ROD…means the rear has to be shimmed or something ,, big money to do that

  What a great car! - 2009 Scion XB
  By Amy - July 20 - 8:56 pm

  I bought my xB one day after my 98 Chevy Venture died. As soon as I drove it, I knew it was the car for me. Everything I wanted came standard and it was a great deal for the price. I now love the "unique" body style. It is roomy without being overly huge, is very comfortable and solid. I get about 25 mpg around town.

  Great set of features for the price - 2009 Scion XB
  By nitido357 - June 25 - 5:23 am

  I have had this xB for about a month and a half and Im still loving it like the first day. Many xB1 detractors decry the increased size, but I love it. The car is more comfortable than any mid-size car. It is also quite fuel efficient considering that you are still driving a box at 65-70 mph. Recently got 34 mpg on 2hr trip to OKC, quite hilly at times. My family of 5 fits quite easily on short and longish trips. The wife loves the cargo space, which is much better than the 07 Pacifica she drives around town.

  Fun Car - 2009 Scion XB
  By duitoit - June 6 - 5:33 pm

  Traded my Ford F150 for the XB. Great car. Im 61" and too heavy but have plenty of room. Averaging 27-28 mph. Its a real looker and I cant believe the number of XBs on the road-need to start a club. Have a Porsche Boxster but I find the Xb almost more fun to drive and much more comfortable to drive. My wife can have the Boxster Ill stick with the XB. I did a lot of research and I think the XB was the best car out there for the cost. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Im 63 and I think its cool.

  Way better than the old XB - 2009 Scion XB
  By sigjuliussen - June 4 - 2:10 am

  Just replaced my old 06 XB with a 09 and I love my new one way more. Im getting 25 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway. It is more stable on the highway and feels much more substantial of a car. I get almost as much MPG out of the new one and way more power.
