Overview & Reviews

The Scion xB has been redesigned for 2008. Though the second generation of this compact wagon maintains the boxy shape that made the original a cult favorite, the xB's exterior is softer and more rounded this year. More importantly, the xB is now larger, roomier and features a much more robust engine. The interior has been improved as well, highlighted by an impressive array of high-tech audio choices.

• Long standard features list, strong four-cylinder engine, large passenger and cargo space, audiophile-friendly stereos, styling some people love.

• Styling some people find ugly, center-mounted gauges are hard to see, no telescoping steering wheel.

  Excellent Car - 2008 Scion XB
  By rdcd - October 6 - 12:31 pm

  I cant believe these neg comments about this Scion XB. They must work for the UAW in Detroit? The 2.4 ltr 4 cyl is the best 4 cyl on the market. I had that same engine in my 2004 Toyota Solara and my daughter is now driveing it with over 200k mi and not one problem. My 08 XB has been 100% no problem. I have the 5speed trans, and average 27 city and 32 highway. I put Michelin MXV4 tires on and the ride is perfect. Love the car and dont believe these neg comments. I Dont!!

  Excellent, Reliable, Economical Vehicle - 2008 Scion XB
  By nicest2 - September 13 - 11:06 am

  Purchased a 2008 Scion XB with 48000 miles in 3/2009 and have put 195000 miles on it in just under 5 years. I have not had any problems with this car and it is still driving like new. The key to this longevity is to keep up on the maintenance and to take care of the car. I drive over 50000 highway miles per year and get an average of 25 to 28 mpg. Good job XB.

  This is the one!! - 2008 Scion XB
  By Richard - August 9 - 11:30 pm

  This car is simply said as, "Well Built". I love the overall package. My vehicle is white. I placed after-market 20" chrome rims. My ride is a definite eye catcher. Riding on rims will always make a little more noise over stock rims. But it is small sacrifice for large rewards. And best of all, its a Toyota. "Another one for the good guys". Enough said.

  A fun step down to a smaller vehicle. - 2008 Scion XB
  By Paul M - July 21 - 10:40 am

  I purchased this vehicle after happily owning a series of Toyota 4Runners over the past 17 years. I wanted something that cost less and provided better mileage but I did not want to sacrifice Toyota quality or reliability. Ive been more than satisfied with the Xb. Its a fun car to drive with plenty of power and great handling with lots of room.

  First brand new car - 2008 Scion XB
  By tonguetwiztid - May 31 - 10:40 pm

  My 08 Scion xB was the first vehicle I have ever bought new. I love the style of the vehicle. I wish it got a little better gas mileage though, I am avg like 25 mpg. And whats up with the 2 inch wide armrest??? That thing is ridiculous! And at least put one on the passenger side too. Other than that I love it. This is the first car I have driven where I could feel the transmission down shift when slowing down.

  One Year - 2008 Scion XB
  By Mark19 - May 24 - 6:06 pm

  After one year and 13,700 miles no Major issues. Nautical blue with 5 speed. Car runs great. Ipod hookup works well. Power is good. Minor issue of clutch. This is the 7th car I owned with a clutch and I still feel uncomfortable with it. Feels like it sticks or slow to release. Other minor issue was the radio tuner knob keeps falling off. I am getting 30-32 miles per gallon on regular no name gas. Breaks are excellant, steering is great. Radio is fantastic. Headlights are exceptional at night. Interior lighting is great. Back seat undershelfs are great. Can seat 5 adults without a problem. Side view mirrors with lights are great. Horn is very sensative. Steering wheel radio controls are easy to operate.

  I Love It! - 2008 Scion XB

  If size matters this will do ya. This seemingly small car is so spacious and comfortable. I am a marketer, in my car all day and my husband is six foot five and has plenty of room. The power is suprising and it handles great. The interior is fun and stylish.

  Fun to drive. - 2008 Scion XB
  By Grrg! - April 15 - 4:16 am

  I took my new xB up around some nice curves from the Rose Garden to the Arboretum in Portland, OR. This baby really rocks around the curves, and that 0-30 really helps. The xB is extremely stable, staying mostly flat with very little twisting - Id like to see what the rear sway and front strut bars would do! Add a supercharger from TRD and were talking head-to-head with a 328i that costs $12,000 more. Add a TRD CAI and sport muffler, and were talking bout beating that German engineering. Replace the OEM speakers, though. These things sound bad as in flat.

  Scion xB - 2008 Scion XB
  By Theresa Brown - January 29 - 3:50 pm

  This is the greatest car I have ever had. It is good-looking and stands out from all the rest. I get a lot of looks and questions from bystanders. It is a great family car, with a whole lot of room. It drives and handles absolutely fantastic. I love this car.
