2008 Scion xBVisitor, Minneapolis, MN, January 12, 2012 07:30Bought XB new in o8' best buying experience ever. Makes me feel like a young guy again. Very competent getting on the freeways, making the curves, is a blast. Added a TRD high performance muffler and cold air intake manifold, after market from Toyota. Still gives great gas mileage and better performance. Only wish it had is a regular clock in the dashboard.Flag ThisLike0

2006 Scion xBVisitor, Powhatan, VA, August 17, 2011 15:10130,000 miles on my 2006 XB and zero problems. I do my own oil changes(synthetic oil) and car burns/uses zero oil. Use the NGK plugs, used a set of Autolites once and mpg dropped slightly. BTW I drive like your granny and get 36-38 mpg. AC could blow a little colder and interior could use more lighting, thats it for issues.Flag ThisLike0

2005 Scion xBroevets, Walnut Creek, CA, August 11, 2011 13:24Got this one new and very happy with the purchase. Agree with others that exterior is kind of cheap, but so was price- especially liked the no haggle price when purchased. Over all, great car with 180000 mi and still going strong. Just got new 60K tires and wonder who is going to give out first?

2006 Scion xBVisitor, Houston, TX, August 30, 2010 12:21We love our XB with 115,000 miles on it. Has always been very noisey up front even after trying different tires. I think the wheel bearings have be bad from the get go but I need a reliable answer before I spring the $600 to replace the front wheel bearings.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2

2004 Scion xBVisitor, Indianapolis, IN, August 23, 2010 09:392004 xB = Best car I have ever owned! I can carry wife, 2 kids, alto, tenor, and bari saxes, and still get 32 mpg in town. No other car can match. Could use better high gear ratio - engine runs little faster than necessary on highway. 72000 miles - zero issues.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2006 Scion xBVisitor, San Diego, CA, June 02, 2010 11:42This may well be the best car I've ever owned since I started driving back in 1971. I bought it new in Dec. '05 and it now has 69,000 trouble free miles on it. If it could cook, I'd marry it! ;-)Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2006 Scion xBVisitor, Silver Spring, MD, April 29, 2010 13:37Excellent car! As a musician, I need a lot of space to carry a 6 piece drum kit plus hardware, etc. The '06 Scion Xb was the only vehicle able to do this, give great gas mileage, good sound system and, with slight modifications (which is what it is built for) a little more horsepower. Not the 2.3 of the newer models, but a great car in its own right. A blast to own and drive!Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2005 Scion xBMicki, Biloxi, MS, February 05, 2010 10:49I love this car! It is well worth the money! Economical, especially with the financial crunch this country is facing. The only problem I have had is with the braking system. I have already had to have my rotors replaced twice along with the brake pads-ceramic. Maybe, toyota/scion could help with the costs of this problem.

2008 Scion xBhalpal, Rutherfordton, NC, August 18, 2009 20:12Best car on the market for the money. Roomy, plenty of power. Has Camry engine, could use Camry transmission for better mileage.

2005 Scion xBSFOFurry, San Francisco, CA, May 20, 2009 15:50This is a great car and a very good value. That said my main complaint is: cheap plastic connections between bumpers and the car have broken with just a little bump by another vehicle; also bumpers are too low and catch on curbs - a bad design. This is a problem everyday in the City when parking. Makes the car look lousy. My mileage runs around 28-30 mpg with heavy City and demanding Highway driving. I go 80-90 mph back and forth to Palm Springs and it runs like a champ. Having brakes replaced now after 46.5k miles of tough stop and go on the hills of SF, which does not seem unreasonable.

2009 Scion xBshiny_steiny, Bronxville, NY, April 29, 2009 08:23Just got my new 2009 xB. Has more potent engine than previous model years. runs well on highways. Has enough OOMPH to accelerate quickly to enter highway from entrance ramp. Still very good on gas. No problems yet.

2005 Scion xBFirealSwords, Niwot, CO, August 23, 2008 15:31I debated for a long time about what to buy when I got my next car, and I have never once regretted my Xb. This car has so much cabin room- it's amazing what you can get into this little thing! I get 32 mpg city and 36 highway even in the mountains, so it's even better than what I expected. No problems so far!

2005 Scion xBGiantsJJ, San Francisco, CA, August 21, 2008 18:20Very reliable, comfortable car for city driving. Not great on freeways, under-powered, and somewhat disappointing gas mileage. Not a single maintenance problem in three years since I bought it.
