  Great car if more mpg - 2009 Scion XB
  By SAU - February 18 - 3:16 am

  Everything is great but for somehow i get only 18 MPG on combined. On Local street, i get about 11.xx MPG which is lower than my GX470 which gets around 16 MPG. Maybe something is wrong with mine. I had another 08 xB Manual RS5.0 and that one gets 22 MPG local. Other than that, this is GREAT CAR. 1) Roomier than my GX470 2) Better leg room on back seat than my GX470 3) Performance is pretty good. 4) ABS and vehicle stability control are STANDARD!!! 5) Nice DVD / Navigation System. Nothing can go wrong with $17.000 MSRP. I paid $25,000 OTD with loaded TRDs and extended warranty. GREAT CAR.

  Balance the car - 2009 Scion XB
  By JBE - December 7 - 2:40 pm

  I love the XB but it needs some visual balance. First the single backup light needs a partner to balance the bumper. Also, annoying is the fact only one armrest is provided but at least it is for the driver. And one final" want" for my XB would be dual pipes to really make a power statement. I guess it is the old v-8 mindset that I grew up with in the 60s.

  Best Car Ever - 2009 Scion XB
  By Jessica - November 29 - 2:16 pm

  Im just in love with this vehicle. I traded in an 07 Nissan Altima which I absolutely hated and Im so happy I did. There is not one thing I dislike about this car. Its so roomy but still small and incredibly fun to drive. I love how you sit up in it and can see out of it so well like an SUV. Its very peppy with the 2.4L engine and it handles perfectly. I have the Stingray color and it is just beautiful. I adore the styling of this car...its so cute! This is an awesome ride for truly anyone. Im a 25 year old girl on the go and it does everything I want it to. Test drive one of these and you will understand why this car rocks.

  Great new car - 2009 Scion XB
  By malbertsen1 - July 20 - 12:03 pm

  Just had the car for 3 days and I really enjoy driving it. After months of searching for a new vehicle my husband and I finally decided on a new xB. The price and being made by Toyota is what sold us. We got the fog lamps, rear fin, upgraded wheels, in the new stingray metal.

  Mad In Love - 2009 Scion XB
  By MansfieldRider - February 26 - 12:10 pm

  I went to dealership to buy 2010 Venza.When I drove up saw the Red 6.0 Series. Told my husband that I wanted to test drive it before I ordered my Venza. Too bad for Venza that I did. Fell in love. Went in and ordered Classic Silver Metallic XB. Coolest thing I have driven. Put numerous accessories on it. Took them a wk to install them after they got it. I got leather seats, sport steering wheel, sport shift knob, door sill illumination, overhead console box, auto dimming mirror, upgraded audio system, tinted windows, floor and cargo mats, cargo cover. Sure I missed some and still not finished adding yet. Everyone loves it but not as much as me.Its a head turner.Mad in love. Everyone needs 1.

  LUV IT! - 2009 Scion XB
  By Chelli - February 22 - 2:33 am

  Luv this car so far. Comfortable and I am a BIG guy. People love it after they ride in it. Dont mind the ugly aspect, I think it looks like a cool, funky hearse. I do 130 miles a day on I95. The power boost is there when I need it...30 to 70 in a couple seconds leaves those 18 wheelers in the dust! Dealer provides the 1st two checks @ 5,000 and 10,000 miles. Great room in the back when I drop the seats. It doesnt feel like a strong built car, but only time will tell.

  Great little car - 2009 Scion XB
  By Old Man - January 20 - 4:33 pm

  Ive had my xB for 4 days now. The hardest thing about buying one was deciding between Stingray Metallic and Black. I chose Black because I figured Black would always be in style. It actually has a metallic gray look to it, which really sets it off. This car is so much fun to drive. Its quick, agile, and very responsive. Even with the A/C on, I can merge onto the expressway with no problem. The ride is comfortable, although my wife prefers the cushier seats in her Lexus. There is very little road or engine noise. The stock radio/CD player sounds great. We have 4 Toyotas in the family, and this one certainly does not disappoint. It has the same build quality as the others.

  fun mommy car - 2009 Scion XB
  By renee27 - January 16 - 12:53 am

  My father suggested I try sion xb out instead of a suv with my children in mind, I love this car. The dealership was friendly and informative, I have to be honest I thought the car was ugly but when I drove it I fell in love, smooth fun driving, love the hatch back for beach and groceries, and fold down seats, my two bucket car seats fit perfect in the back for my 3 and 5 year old the only complaint I have is my children have a hard time looking out the window problem at Christmas with all the light, ,, I average about 32 mpg on fuel and even drove in the snow without problems, my driveway is steep and have no problem getting up. I would recommend this car to all fun mommies with 1-2 kids, safe
