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.

Best Car I ever Bought !!!!! - 2010 Scion XB
By towstr - May 2 - 12:40 amI bought the Scion xb in 05. After owning it for almost 5 years and saw the new model, I just fell in love all over again. This time I got the Release Series 7.0 , 186 of 2000 is whats on my car. I also purchased the spoilers. It didnt get the manual on my 05 Scion so this time I made sure I did. The car feels so much bigger and I can really tell. Love the color. Did someone said it only had one setting on wipers? You better look again buddy !

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

Not your "Typical" XB owner - 2010 Scion XB
By Joe-in-DC - September 20 - 7:46 amNot the target demographic 20 something, more like 40 something. Had the car a week and I love it! So much fun to drive. With my add-ons, (Alpine sterio, Cold-Air-Intake, TRD shocks and struts, fog lights, alarm system, 17" Alloy wheels) this car is great! I live DC and we are having a rough winter and this car handles great in the snow and performs great in "High-speed" traffic.

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

Ive never "loved" a car before this XB - 2010 Scion XB
By tarah2005 - May 22 - 6:56 amSo much fun to drive. The updated exterior is way better than the first...more girly. I traded in my 2008 4runner while it still had some equity. I commute 60 miles per day so MPG was attractive on the Scion XB because I still wanted extra space. At first I overlooked the car, but after driving it am in love!!! I am not sure how well an automatic would accelerate but the manual is a blast.

XB Country Box - 2010 Scion XB
By Georgeimpact - April 15 - 3:43 amHad my XB 2 months now. Fuel economy was one of my top concerns. Along with room for the family. I use it to commute against traffic as I work for a manufacturer in the country town opposite Dallas. Everyone at my plant drive pickups and laugh at me when they see me pull up in my box. I guess Ill be the only one laughing when gas goes back up to $4.00 a gallon. Im averaging about 31 mpg but I constantly am watching the fuel economy gauge to see how far up I can get it. I have a manual transmission so I coast down all hills in neutral. Plenty of room inside for the family. My daughters love the look of the box.

Awesome Bang for the Buck - 2010 Scion XB
By Chris - April 14 - 12:36 pmWe have had our box for almost 2 months now and are very pleased. Weve averaged 29-30mpg combined city/highway, so I dont understand how it can have such a low rating. My only real gripe is that Im 65", and my arms stay outstretched with little to no support, which gets tiresome on long trips. Lumbar support in the seat and a telescopic wheel would be very helpful. My wife is 54" and is very comfortable driving it. We love the styling, and its a blast to drive. Overall very happy with our purchase.
