  Still not sure - 2010 Scion XB
  By Dreamer0201 - November 30 - 11:26 pm

  Purchased car last week and did not realize a few things until I drove off lot. No automatic lights. No adjustments on the intermittent wipers, just one speed. The headrests are extremely uncomfortable in the front. It is reliable though and a smooth ride.

  a looker for less - 2010 Scion XB
  By jody - March 3 - 12:46 am

  Bought this car as a trade for cash for clunkers. So far, the car has exhibited great handling, so so gas mileage and a good ride if you have less than 2 people in it. Things like programmable wipers, lighted ignition light and auto headlight shutoff are some of the options I miss that were in my clunker, that was in pretty great condition. I know this is the car that was built to be rebuilt, but after adding a couple of options you are spending much as a well equipped Honda accord ex. I truly dont see the great bargain for the new Young generation. I only see a great marketing idea on behalf of Toyota. I think that Toyota should squeeze a bit more value out of there option closet.

  One week and counting... - 2010 Scion XB
  By MikeP - March 8 - 1:43 pm

  Ive had the "sizzling crimson mica" (fine, its purplish-brown) for about a week now. Almost 400 miles on it so far (long commute). MPG is, to date, about 27 with a mix of 75% hw, 25% stop & go so Im a happy camper, based on expectations going into it. Prior to purchasing, I considered and test drove a number of others in the same gen. $ range: Soul, Fit, Versa, Cube. Very tempted by the Cube but the xB simply felt more stable (and slightly less noisy) on the highway and the cargo capacity is great. The comfort of the car is very good, relatively speaking (keeping in mind youre not paying for a luxury car). Exterior is..well, its an xB so folks tend to love em or hate em.

  Wanted an xB for Years - 2010 Scion XB
  By Diane - October 15 - 8:06 am

  Just got my xB a month ago and I already have 2K miles on it. It does good on the freeway and in stop and go traffic on my 24 mile daily commute in LA. Love the style (my boxy car!). I do have a little rattle in my passenger side front door. Hopefully they will be able to resolve that. Has great power although I wish the gas tank was a few gallons larger so I could go all week without gassing up. I went from a Saturn L200 which I absolutely loved, but this is more comfortable and roomier in the back seat. This is my first car with an IPod hook up, so that has been really fun. The stereo is great for a standard option. Wish the interior was not black.

  Much better than i expected - 2010 Scion XB
  By rb7385899 - July 27 - 3:50 am

  I test drove a 2006 XB a few years ago and rejected it, too slow and noisy. This revised model is a major improvement. Im getting the advertised 23 mpg or so around town, but on a 50 mile (mostly rural) drive to Lancaster PA it returned 33 - far above the 28 mpg sticker for hwy. Its quiet, crisp handling, and has excellent visibility and interior space. Im sorry i didnt test drive sooner. And you cant beat the pricing.

  Interior Can be better..... - 2010 Scion XB
  By Aardvark - July 24 - 9:16 pm

  I bought my 2010 xB in November 2009 and to this day absolutely love it! It drives and handles like a small BMW, and looks sharp to boot.

  Good people/stuff Hauler - 2010 Scion XB
  By Ollie - December 4 - 10:00 am

  I have owned a 2009 Scion Xb for over 2 years and have driven mine for 44,000 miles. It is a good car but not a great car. I bought it for fun to drive, which it is very fun the way mine is equipped, but not a great commuter vehicle. Fit and finish are ok, not as good as other Toyotas and definitely not up to Honda/Subaru like quality. There are some rough plastics and some of the interior design elements are quirky(like the useless drivers armrest). Mine has the TRD lowering springs and 19" TRD alloy wheels which make it look killer. However, as a commuter vehicle it makes the ride extremely harsh. Honda Fit a better choice for a similar price or stretch the budget and get a VW Golf.
