  • We love our xB! - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    We purchased it 40,000 miles and three years ago. To date, our only expense has been an oil/filter change every 3k. As our grandchildren say: It look so small on outside, but its so roomy on the inside. Handles great in wind and even in snow (as long as its under 6" in depth)-- very stable. Delivers gas mileage far in excess of the EPA rating-- 28 mpg overall. Quality thru-out-- made in Japan. Amazing storage and flexibility. Powerful, smooth, quiet Camry engine. No rattles and noises. Is it a SUV, a hatchback, a station wagon, or a sports sedan? It has elements of all those. This car is underpriced by about $5,000, thus a bargain.

  • The most fun for your money - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    The xB is fun to look at and fun to drive. Some dont like the styling (Hi mom!), but I smile every time I look at it! It has plenty of power and while its no sports car, it handles well enough for everyday driving. The ride can get jittery over rough roads, but overall the ride is good. Its also very quiet inside, with less wind noise than youd expect from such a boxy car. People are always amazed at how spacious the car is inside. Massive amounts of head room and leg room, especially in the back. I love the audio system--it has so many features and it sounds terrific. I call this car my giant iPod accessory! Mileage is good, not great. I get about 25mpg in about 75% city driving.

    I took a chance and test drove an XB, I should be driving an Acura RL, but I was sold on the XB. I love this car!

  • Reliability and gas mileage - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    I just bought the 10 xB and couldnt be happier. We already have put almost 4K miles on it and it is a pleasure to drive. The gas mileage we found on the highway could get up to 30 mpg. All in all I would highly recommend this car.

  • Interior Can be better..... - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    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 All-Rounder - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    Traded in an 07 tC and am delighted with similar performance but much more utility. Is more pleasant to drive and has a good ride quality balance - compliant enough in corners and over bumps, but not too stiff. Tons of room inside was a big reason for buying. Does everything we need it to do well, though I would always like to see better fuel mileage.

  • Puts a smile on my face when I drive it! - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    Most fun car I have had in years. Had many Camrys with more creature comforts but I added MANY options so it is now very comfortable. The Camry motor in the xB makes a huge difference in performance. It could use a 5th gear but does well with a 4- speed auto. Back seats fold flat and their is an incredible amount of space. Put after-market alloys on mine and get many compliments. My fiance loves to drive it so getting driving time is getting more challenging. Sound system is awesome. Even if they were options, needs telescoping steering wheel, heated mirrors, power drivers seat,5- speed auto, and a few other things. Otherwise, love the car.

  • Former BMW Owner - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    We just traded in our 2005 BMW X3 on a 2010 XB. The XB is almost the same size inside and actually fits a booster seat for our 3 year old daughter better in the back. The BMW was a terrible fit for car seats and the the booster seats. Nothing would fit in between the seatbelts. This car fits much better, but still not perfect. Its nowhere near as quiet inside, but hopefully it will not have the problems. We were getting ready to spend over 3k in repairs as our BMW has many issues including bad all wheel drive motor (1.8k to fix), A/C wasnt working, passenger seat wasnt working, and bluetooth stopped working.

  • Pretty Awesome Car - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    I love this car. I traded from a 2006 Ford Focus. This car handles like a dream. It easily makes tight turns at 50 mph and will go it to a power slide which is great. I put a cold air intake and it dramatically improved the acceleration across the entire power curve. I put on a new exhaust system and the car lost its delay from pressing the gas to acceleration. My only complaint is the fuel. I get about 25 less miles per gallon but this isnt a big concern because of the horsepower the car has

  • Best Value! - 2010 Scion XB
    By -

    I cant believe that this car doesnt cost more. Its spacious, safe, comfortable, has great interior features, and has great style. This is definitely the best value for your money. I love it!
