Hard to beat!

Pros: room for all

Cons: seats/ride

Over all you can't fault much. Three negatives.... Headlights have been blinding people since day one and can't be adjusted low enough. Seats are WAY TO SHORT in the butt. Only your butt and the top 3rd of your thigh is on any cushion. Rides like a buckboard on the highway.... no suspension travel, stiff springs, tires have no sidewalls to cushion ride. Mileage and performance is spectacular.... just don't plan any long trips. (50+ miles)

A fantastic Vehicle

Pros: Space!!!!!!!

Cons: When you are used to a lot of power , you have to adjust. but for what the XB its hard to complain.

The first time that I sat in the Scion XB It was during the gas crisis. I had just gotten rid of my mini-van . I needed to downsize but I also wanted space . After trying on so many cars I could not believe how amazing it was to sit in the XB I knew I had to have it. Interior space is unbelievable , gas mileage is great, It's unique look turns heads, truly dependable ... A fantastic vehicle!!!!

Looks small, but big design

Pros: the different look

Cons: lack of room in rear

The box look of these models seem like they'd be small, but inside their is lots of room for seating. They only lack in the rear area, so packing anything is a chore. It's lacking on power, but makes up for it with gas mileage. Plus the driver assist features (Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Skid Warning) may keep it stuck to the road, but take away from any chance at power. Despite the low ground clearance, living in the Midwest it seems to get around good as I've only got it stuck in snow twice. Overall a great vehicle for the price, if you want something different for a family.

Pros: Reliability

Cons: Not the fastest car

Advice: Lots of bang for the buck. I am thinking about buying a second one used.

Not the fastest, but roomy and economical. Dependable with 114,000+ and running strong.

Pros: boxy appearance

Cons: lack of cruise control

Advice: make you sure you LOVE the xB...you will get alot of good and bad looks. lol

great gas mileage, cool boxy look, quite roomy like an SUV, very comfortable, not built tough...so if you get in to a little fender bender...not good for the xB...other than that...great car.

Pros: looks and mileage

Cons: performance and noise

Advice: I don't know if i got a lemon but this car is extremely loud!Not a good loud either a sickly loud.I wonder if other people have this problem at certain rpms.

The performance is pretty week but i also got the automatic so thats somewhat my fault.It's roomy though.
