  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.

  Highly recommended - 2009 Scion XB
  By PeterUK - May 10 - 9:10 am

  My Black xB2 was amongst the first available in CA. It came with Alloy wheels, illuminated Door Sills and upgraded iPod stereo. I test drove it and fell in love with it. Its easy to live with, has been totally reliable, not even a rattle or squeak and has never needed to go back to the Dealer for anything!! I am a Cyclist and the xB will carry two full-size Roadbikes along with all the Gear. My Daughter and I took it on a 1,000 mile roadtrip to SF and back with 2 Bikes and all our luggage. 80+ mph all the way and it flies up and down the Hills of SF! The xB also carries 4 Adults comfortably, everyone compliments it on how much Legroom there is in the rear.

  I would buy another one! - 2009 Scion XB
  By Dr. Bones - March 24 - 6:06 am

  I purchased a Release Series 6.0 and was glad I did. Only 2,500 of these were produced. This model comes with a Pioneer DVD Navigation system, interior LED accent lighting (can choose from four colors), a custom all-black grille, and a few other minor tweaks. It has been a great vehicle so far and I enjoy driving it every day that I am on the road. It is incredibly quiet, accelerates nicely, and handles beautifully. It has been such a good vehicle for my family, that I am thinking about getting my wife one very soon.

  I CALL HIM "MR" XB - 2009 Scion XB
  By MR XB - February 24 - 11:23 pm

  I purchased my white XB with 19 miles on it. I added (dealer installed) a moonroof, scion security and lo-jack, fog lights, cargo cover. From the outside it looks so small, but it is huge on the inside. I love the performance and sometimes fool around with the semi-manual shift for fun. I am very glad not to see a XB every where I turn. The biggest selling point for me was the safety features you get for the low price.

  very happy - 2009 Scion XB
  By lleum98 - December 27 - 2:33 pm

  Ive owned my XB since August. Im very pleased with it. Mileage is OK, I avg. about 27 mpg overall. Surprisingly quiet with a decent ride for its size. It also has alot of zip and cruises fully loaded at freeway speeds with no problem. Im a good sized guy and there is plenty of room, and it is very easy to get in and out of both front and back seats. Tons of head room.
