This is a reliable, enjoyable, low cost car to own and use.
This scion has an old Camry engine before they 'upgraded' it, and has always run well. Repairs are few and inexpensive. Great gas mileage, and I can carry things most hatchbacks cannot. I bought brand new, and she is still going strong, although I have had some costs in the past year. The air conditioner is a weak spot, but with regular care she has had relatively few issues. I recently had the catalytic converter replaced, but the car has 150 miles on it. I am looking for a good low mileage xb to replace her in the next year.

Reliable and dependable car/
Very reliable and no issues whatsoever. If I had to purchase my car all over again, I totally would.

It is very uncomfortable on long drives of three hours or more.
It is small and uncomfortable on long trips. The controls are laid out in an unusual manner. The arm rest on the driver's seat is mounted too low to be useful.

A good car for beginners or smaller families!
I have had the car for awhile and it still has no major issues then again I somewhat spoil my cars. It is compact, however, it is extremely comfortable inside. It holds up to 5 people comfortably and I say it is decent for a family of 4. Driving it is perfect as well as the pedals are not extremely sensitive but are reliable. It was the first car I started driving with as well.

Lots of room for a family.
I absolutely love my car it gets great gas mileage and it is so roomy for being a small car. The look is super clean and you can customize your car the way you want it. The only bad part is I had to get a new transmission at 150,000 miles. But these cars are so great that they will go for miles and miles.

It performs much better than expected, especially for a car that is 9yrs old.
I really enjoy owning my Scion XB. There are only a few issues with my Scion that I wish were better. #1. It uses oil, A LOT! #2. Road Noise #3. Umm I can't think of anything! LOL!! We've taken several long distance trips in this Scion & it has always performed very well!! This is the first Scion I've owned & would definitely consider buying another in the future.

The Scion db. Is a smooth, spacious ride!
It's a great car, really! It is small so it takes sharp turns without issue, but it is extremely spacious inside, more so than a lot of SUVs I have been in. It is got great acceleration, probably due to the Toyota engine in it (as Toyota's are known for being long-lasting). It's a comfortable, nice ride. My only issues are with my radio, as it is older and a speaker needs to be replaced. Other than that, the car is great!

Other than burning oil and an okay gas mileage, the car runs great. I am at 208k miles and the car is still going strong.

Dislike how low it is to the road. Like the storage space. Dislike the cheap plastic exterior.
Keep an eye on the fuses and make sure you use the Toyota long life antifreeze(red) not normal antifreeze(blue).

IT gets great gas mileage and very reliable. I have very little mechanical problems with the car since I owned it.
Our car gets great gas mileage and the hatchback is large enough for me to load/unload my wife's electric scooter int to the back.

Dependable automobile for first time buyers.
It does not give mileage but it is very dependable. Has lots of room for a small car. No major car repairs. If you keep up the basic maintenance this car will last. I would probably buy it again. And I do recommend it for first time drivers, young to seniors.

I love this car because it is very roomy. And everyone is always saying how the like the space in the back. It drives very smooth and saves lots of money on gas. Takes 12 gallons to the tank and takes 25 miles to the gallon. I love this car for long trips to the beach or even road trips.

Scion xb, the best fitting wagon for all your needs.
Vehicle has tall headroom, bucket seats sit high for ease of getting in and out, while chassis is set low to the ground. Steering is tight and smooth; color and paint job is beautiful; wagon hatch lifts and closes easily; sound system is excellent; design is eye-catching.

It's a good car as long as you live in a town area.
I really love all the seating, and I have plenty of trunk space. Unfortunately though it's very low to the ground and drags it bottom everywhere.The gas mileage is ok as long as it's not a curved road. The system in the front is digital which is absolutely great.

The best car Scion has ever made it's a family car.
Never had a problem with it acts like a truck that's how much storage it has great on gas gets great miles to the gallon has never let me down never had any major problems only had to do oil change and the basics stuff besides getting new tires I feel very safe in this car. Has a lot of legroom for tall people will carry 5 people just fine not a problem this car is my 5 car I have owned and its the best one I have ever had and that's why I still have it just like new.

Tire are cheaper than most other cars since you have to get smaller ones.
I like that it's bigger than a regular car but smaller than an SUV. Biggest complaint is that these cars aren't being made anymore.

It is an awesome family car. With lots of space and safety features.
I really love my scion, xb. I have a family of four and it has been perfect for two little ones, who both need car seats. The trunk has tons of room for strollers, groceries, and anything else that our busy family needs it for. I have had only minor problems. Such as normal maintenance. I have had to have new brake pads for front and back. They seem to squeak more than other cars I've had in the past. I do love how a light comes on when it is time for an oil change. It helps to keep me up to date with that. I've had a recall for the passenger side air bag. I haven't had that looked at just yet, but I am in the process of getting it taken care of. Everything will be free of charge which is awesome. My car has kept me and my family safe for over two years now. I am very happy with our purchase of the scion, xb.

I like the compact size for fitting in any parking space. I like the extra dashboard space to place pens, small stuffed toys, glasses, etc. For long roadtrips I would need a bigger car for storage and trunk space.

208k Miles and Still Going Strong!
I have had my car since 2008 when I bought a new, 2009 model. It currently has 208k miles on it and still going strong. I do take care of my car though. A couple downfalls are it burns oil quickly and the other is the gas mileage. I now work 56 miles from work 1 way and I now have to refill my gas tank at least 3 times a week. The car is roomie, can fit quite a bit in it, and is all around a good car.

It's not the smoothest ride but I like the space and the leather has held up. No major issues and it's 10 years old at this point. I have had issues with the tires but very minor.

It has a lot of legroom in front and in back. The back seats go down so it makes it a great car to go camping to store items. The feel for when I drive it is great! The brakes work well and the air conditioning and heating is also awesome! I do not like how the previous owner changed the radio system to a later model but it is not a big deal overall.

Toyota Motor Compact car yet spacious Extra oil in between oil changes
My scion XB has been an amazing first car. Super durable and amazing motor have never had problems with it. Even though it's completely minor, these cars do need about half of a quart oil in between oil changes. Quite a small hiccup for something that has gotten me through all of high school and so far through all of college. I would highly recommend!

2009 Scion XB: The Car That is Quite Overlooked.
I have had zero problems with this vehicle. Keeping maintenance on the vehicle is simple and easy. Gas Mileage is good considering it's half of an SUV. Room in the front and back is spacious and not stuffy like other makes and models. The seats are comfortable and easy to adjust, so no problems there. I highly recommend this vehicle for a musician (like myself who travels often out of state), a mom looking for something to transport a family of 3 or 4, or just a college student commuting to and from school or work.

2009 scion xb. Not a bad car for a starter family or single person.
The vehicle is a little small for my liking. It is fuel efficient and overall has been relatively reliable. The cars air conditioning has gone out recently but has 198000 miles on it all done by our family. The tires always seem to wear unevenly even if you have the tires rotated and balanced on a regular basis.
accountCircle Jimbob J on December 17, 2019
The vehicle is very uncomfortable for long drives.
This vehicle is not built for comfort on long drives. The seats are narrow and the console very confining. The armrest on the driver's seat isn't worth the material it's made from. It is too low to be of any use. Initially we had a problem with the breaks. They wore out very quickly, much faster than they should considering the vehicle has a manual transmission. The dealer service department was no help when this was reported. I'll never buy another Toyota product.

You can fit some small things in the bottom of the back side passengers.

Compact while feeling spacious.
The scion xb is really reliable. I have never had any problems. The only work that has been done is oil changes and new batteries which is normal. The back seat is very comfortable and spacious which is nice for carpooling, storage, and housing pets during a long trip. I especially love the trunk because it is accessible and at a comfortable height for lifting things in and out such as groceries. I drive this vehicle to and from work and running errands. Since I do not have children yet, this is the perfect compact vehicle that still feels spacious. I will most likely upgrade to a larger vehicle once I start a family though.

It is incredibly spacious and a great ride.
I have never had any mechanical issues with the vehicle and I have over 100k miles on it. It is, highly reliable and spacious. The only two complaints I have are that the vehicle does suffer from aggressive oil consumption. However of you are changing your oil when the vehicle tells you to, it is not a problem. The other issue is that for a four cyl engine it only get about 28 miles to the gallon which is fairly poor when compared to newer 4 cyl vehicles.
