Super White 2010 Scion xB - 2010 Scion XB
By smb1234 - August 27 - 6:56 pmIt has been 4 days since I picked up my xB. So far the car is great. It has plenty of pep. It handles nicely and is very roomy inside. I purchased it because I have dogs and needed something that would accomodate them and still be fun to drive. There are some things that I would wished were better, but overall the car is great for my purpose.

Its different but comfortable - 2010 Scion XB
By John A. - March 18 - 10:03 pmThe interior space for driver and the large backseat were the primary draws for considering this vehicle. As a 2006 Scion xB owner I resisted the move to the new model because of the "mpg" factor. We can fit 4 adults and one tall 8-year old in the vehicle. Handling is good, the engine is peppy and is averaging 26 mpg overall (this is a good trade-off for increased comfort, ride and a quieter interior). The odometer system is awkward to use at first and overall the gauges are comfortable if you are used to the xB. After the first month I no longer wonder why I traded my "can" (car-van) in on a newer model. Access for those with hip and knee problems is easy and mostly pain-free.

Love this XB!!! - 2010 Scion XB
By JimJam - May 26 - 1:43 amI have had my new Classic Silver XB for about 4 days. It is so fun to drive and is very comfortable for all 5 passengers. It was the best value for any car in the price range. My XB has the same standard options (except Bluetooth) than my wifes 2009 Carolla XLE that we paid $20,000 for and the XB handles much better. I think you will love the cargo space as well. The fuel economy is good as well for the amount of power the car has. Give one a test drive and I think you will feel the same as I do. I LOVE this EB!!!

Fun, fun, fun - 2010 Scion XB
By ripdaddy - April 24 - 8:17 amAfter 800 miles on my pre-owned 2010 XB I have found it to be an economical and fun car to drive. A recent 500 mile road trip returned 34.5 mpg on an interstate over the rolling hills of N. Missouri. Cruise control was set for 66 mph. The second half of the trip was on US and state highways using very little cruise control. Even with passing through small towns and some hilly, winding roads I got 35.6 mpg average. An overdrive 6th gear would work great on this car. The torquey 2.4 Camry engine pulls easily from 2000 rpm up.

Better Mileage Than Advertised - 2010 Scion XB
By Shubunkin - January 14 - 10:33 pmIve had the XB (Blackberry Crush) for about 3 weeks now, and driven around town as well as on 500 mile trip. With the 5 sp manual, I am getting 28-29 mpg regardless of city/hwy (disclaimer, I am older and dont do jackrabbit starts.) The car has a lot of pep, handles very well, and has much more comfortable seats than a lot of cars we considered. After a minivan the size seems small, but the interior is surprisingly spacious. We hesitated because the EPA mileage estimate is only 24 mpg, but my experience mirrors that of others who have had 28-30 mpg overall. We are very happy with the XB.

Fun reliable car that stands out - 2010 Scion XB
By swany - January 11 - 6:30 pmJust bought the 2010 murasaki purple 7.0 series, its a great car. My wife has a 06 4.0 series and I always loved how nimble and tight the steering felt. I dont like that hers is an automatic I dont like the shift points. I prefer a manual gearbox anyways. The 06 xb has 64k miles and never had it in the shop for anything. So I bought myself one as well. Lots of performance parts to spruce the hp, and numerous aesthetic parts to make it your own.

The Cool Fun Box... - 2010 Scion XB
By DJ Grey Scion - April 19 - 4:13 pmI got a good Trade In value for my 2003 VW gti for my 2010 Scion XB. It was an offer I couldnt resist. I was looking for a more reliable car than my VW. The AUX IN/USB input and steering wheel control for the Pioneer stereo system sold me. You can use an IPOD, jump drive, or even a portable hard drive for the USB input. After market add on were cheap. I got nice interior LED Chrome bar floor lighting and Door/Back Bumper Sills for really cheap. I just wish the steering was a little tighter. The car rides like a Toyota if that makes any sense. The is a cool multi-purpose car that doesnt look uncool.

My 2nd Scion and not the last.. maybe.. - 2010 Scion XB
By mikez340t - March 21 - 2:23 amI had a 2008 Scion XD preciously and updated to the 2010 XB for the much needed cargo room with a kid all. My main reason for another Scion is that the XD before got way way better mileage than the sticker as we went from North NJ to Ocean City MD with little over half a tank used! Currently with the XB we are getting about 26 MPG average with 90% street which is a lot better than most cars. I totally love how Scions get better mileage than the stickers.. Upgraded sound is an awesome must and remote-start built into the key is the best!! All the other clones cannot beat the original and best. Also has the best safety features standard as far as boxed goes..

I love my toaster - 2010 Scion XB
By capnjackflash - October 8 - 3:46 amIm much older than the people Scion targets for the xB, but this car is perfect for baby-boomers. Strap in the grandkids or flop the back seats forward for 69 cubic feet of space. Previously I drove a Toyota Avalon or an aging 4-Runner. The xB gets better gas mileage than the Avalon and has the same cargo space as the 4 runner. Its short 167 inch length and tight 34.8 ft turning radius are useful in any parking situation. (think San Francisco) The 2.4 liter 4 cyl is from the Camry, but the Camry weighs 400 lbs more. So the xB has plenty of pep when needed. Getting in or out of the xB is so-o-o-o easy, front or back seat.

What A Surprise! - 2010 Scion XB
By Toni C - May 11 - 11:46 amA baby boomer who loves the sporty feel of a very practical car. I simply love my Scion XB and really got into the buying process. With the addition of many of the performance features, the car is a joy to drive. The addition of interior and exterior features makes for a very classy look. I have gotten better than reported gas mileage, particular with the addition of the sports muffler that helps with coasting and keeps me from speeding! The sunroof addition has increased my driving experience on those pleasant summer evenings where you can enjoy the intermix of music and soft breezes.
