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.

  My first xB - 2008 Scion XB
  By laffingcorpse - April 17 - 12:46 am

  I love everything about this car. It has great acceleration, handles well, fast, powerful. Fun to drive. The base model comes with everything you need. Anything else is an aftermarket accessory. I got 280 miles out of my first full tank of gas. If I had to pick one thing I did not like it would be the road noise. Small price to pay for such a great car though!

  LOVIN IT!!! - 2008 Scion XB
  By goonyfish5 - March 17 - 5:53 am

  This is my 2nd xb. More comfortable ride, still like the boxy look of the older style. Drives awesome. Wish I would have gotten the standard. I average about 30 mpg. Love the sound system and handling. More spacious for having 3 kids (2 young adults) no squooshing together in back. I will stay with this for along time. Scion is an excellent brand. Would like more unusual colors. My last was yellow limited edition.

  New found love - 2008 Scion XB
  By Navygunner77 - March 8 - 3:50 pm

  When buying the Scion xB I wondered if it might be a mistake on my part because lets face it the Scion name hasnt been around as long as its parent company Toyota. However much like the ugly duckling story, I found that once I got used to the boxy looks (nowhere near as bad as last years design) I found that I love this little car! I traded in a gas loving 2004 Ford Explorer that I had named slurpy and when I filled the Scion up for the first time I found that my gas cost were going to be cut in half and still getting about the same total mileage out of my tank as I did with my Explorer. My opinion, if you can get over the odd looks of the car I highly recommend it!

  Love this car - 2008 Scion XB
  By Lisa - February 21 - 8:36 am

  I love this car - its everything I was looking for and more. I was driving a Honda Civic before, and this car is so much better in every respect - handling, power, room, style, options, ride, etc. The only thing I miss is the 31 MPG I got with my old car - now I get about 27 (90% city). Even so, its worth the tradeoff for all the other great things about this car.

  Very Satisfied; fun car - 2008 Scion XB
  By pwcfcr - February 14 - 12:06 pm

  I love this car. Researched all different makes/models for 6 months prior to purchase. After 21 months and 30,000 miles this definitely was the best value for the money. Fun to drive. Comfortable with roomy. Easy to get in and out both front and rear passengers. Good gas mileage and pickup. Versatile. Does well in snow. Will definitely buy another one when its time to replace the Sienna.

  My new toy - 2008 Scion XB
  By onebat10 - February 10 - 2:20 pm

  I love this vehicle. The interior design with the inside door cup holders, the location on the gear shift and size are great. My best friend is 62" and has leg room and head room in the back. The Camry engine is definitely a plus and there isnt wind or engine noise. This vehicle does 100 mph without engine strain.
