  Happy - 2009 Scion XB
  By Happy - November 29 - 2:00 am

  Ok so I owned a 2004 scion Xb and I bought it when it was brand new. It had 130,000 miles on it. Never had a problem not one with any part of the car. Earlier this year I got into an accident and my car was totaled. I decided to go with what I know and love. The Xb is a reliable car, great on gas, roomy. I know every one complains about the arm rest but after owning the original Im ecstatic to have one at all. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  THIS IS THE CAR TO OWN! - 2009 Scion XB
  By thepkusa - November 26 - 11:33 am

  I had a 2006 Scion xB - loved it! But wanted more comfort, so got the 2009. Feels and drives like a Camry, with all the amenities of a small SUV. Absolutely LOVE it - would buy another one in a heartbeat!

  Owned this little dickens nearly 2 weeks..We love it!Mpg is around 24-26 in a 50-50 mix..It likes to scoot. We love the deep burgundy color. Hope to add wheels and spoiler at a later date.Traded a Highlander with 135,000 miles. Hope the Scion is nearly as good to us..This is affordable and fun..Give it a shot! Big Camry motor.

  My Great Escape - 2009 Scion XB
  By My Great Escape - May 5 - 11:03 pm

  My wife and I were visiting friends on Cape Cod this summer and they had a 2008 Scion XB. I dont remember the last time I was so impressed with a car. I told my wife I was going to buy one when we returned home and that is exactly what I did. Only have had it a month buy love it so far. Named it POOKIE. No idea why, just kind of fits.

  Neat Ride - 2009 Scion XB
  By Craig - April 28 - 9:33 pm

  Bought this car for its looks and special features. It is a Absolutely Red, series 6 with upgraded floor mats, fog lights, bumper protector, Nav. system standard on this one. I was looking at an xd but really liked this special addition. So long story short I love it. Had to put some black and chrome wheels on it so I spent right at 20k for it. I get about 4 more miles to the gal. city/hwy than what was on the msrp. Quality is outstanding for the price and the Toyota quality control sure shows in this car. Only drive about 4500 miles a year but some day someone is going to get a great used car. Neat Ride

  By xb in nashville - April 11 - 8:33 am

  i have always liked the xbs but it wasnt until the new design, i actually thought about buying one. its fun to drive and it looks amazing, i did however buy one that had a few extras on it so that makes a little more inviting. so far i have had my xb for a week now and wonder why i didnt buy one sooner. love it

  Great car relative to competition - 2009 Scion XB
  By Love my xB - March 7 - 2:10 am

  Ive had this car for about a month now and Ive ran up about 1100 miles on it. Each time I take it out to drive I like it a little bit more and I loved it when I bought it. The xB isnt the fastest, sportiest, or most luxurious car Ive owned but its pretty fun to drive, it handles well, and it has a comfortable ride whether Ive been on road trips or just cruising around town. Its a nice balance in pretty much all fronts, which is surprising for a car this cheap. Also, the folks at Scion are a pleasure to deal with. Ive also noticed that a lot of people complain about the fuel economy of the xB but Ive found that Ive gotten between 28 to 33 mph, which isnt that bad.

  My New SCION - 2009 Scion XB
  By Stephen Taylor - February 17 - 1:00 pm

  Having put the first 1000 miles on my new SCION xB, I am very impressed with the power, drivability, and comfort. I am a big guy and I have plenty of leg and head room. The car itself seems much larger inside than one would expect. I am averaging 28.9 MPG so far, which I am very happy about as well. Overall, I could not be happier...

  LOVE IT! - 2009 Scion XB
  By sandy c - December 5 - 2:50 pm

  I love this Car. I had a Focus and it drove terrible and only got about 27 mpg. I researched on Edmunds and saw all the good comments so I decided to try the XB because it is like a suv but better on mileage and had a standard transmission; I just like manual. It was everything I could have wanted, lots of airbags and my elderly father can get in and out easy.
