It is a very good reliable, not too much maintenance is necessary, it hurts me to wherever I am going. The ride feels smooth, there's decent gas mileage. Do not have too many problems, hope it will last a long time. Comfortable seats and do not get overly hot or overly cold.

Even though there’s not a lot of trunk space the car is spacious.
The car rides smooth and the seats are comfortable. There is no backup camera or sunroof but there is a aux and USB jack. The xb is also good on gas. It is also very spacious. There’s overall 8 cup holders in the car. The back seats lay down and there are also roof racks.

Smooth ride with tons of space!
The car has worked amazing since the time of purchase, smooth ride and great miles to the gallon! Has a really nice interior, a ton of space between you and your passenger. Back seat has a lot of room to move large items etc. I have been nothing but satisfied with my purchase!

I love the transport tetris!
I have not been the nicest to this car, but my scion xb has been amazing! I have driven over a manhole cover in the middle of the road with minimal damage, moved twice, and transported flooring in my little cube. I love that the car has so much space to be able to fold down the seats and tetris things into it!

My scion xb is the smartest vehicle purchase I have made!
This has been a wonderful car. Reliable, I have never needed to spend much money beyond general maintenance. It needs a new clutch, but since it recommends changing it out at 50,000 miles and I have made it to almost 80,000, I feel lucky. All in all, probably the smartest vehicle purchase I have made.

Reliable, inexpensive, and decent mileage.
Easy access and decent acceleration. Sufficient legroom for rear seats. Rear seats fold down for good storage.

Cute model, gas saver and the best thing is that you have special edition.
My car either way is a little bit smaller it is very comfort. Has the enough space for the driver and the passengers. Good model, good color and I haven't had a problem with it all these years. They only made five thousand cars of this model so it's a special edition.

Great color and only model with a sunroof the 2012 release series hard to find!
Great car good on gas. Holds a lot because back seats go down. Nice bright color have to have a sunroof in Florida because I have dogs. Great audio system no Bluetooth but could be added but you can plug in your iPhone. Drivers seat is very adjustable up and down and forward or back and back of seat can be moved to different angles lots of airbags.

This car is portable, fun, has a lot of space to move things with.
I have no had any issues with my car since I purchased it brand new in 2012 except for a recall on the airbag that was paid for by the car company. It extremely reliable, cost effective.

Spacious and comfortable for a smaller sized car.
It has been extremely reliable car for the years I have owned it. Spacious interior, good sound system and comfortable seats. The gas mileage is great. From my experience if you bump the exterior (front or back bumper) even if not hard at all it will make a sizeable dent because the bumpers are a plastic rather than metal, but fairly cheap to fix as well so my complaints are few.

Why I love my scion xb, because it is the SUV of compact cars!
I love my scion xb, it has so much space. The seats fold down and it is like an SUV. It was great not to have to compromise size for space. Living downtown I need the compact car to park, but I need space to go to Costco or travel with my dogs. I have had great performance, always keeping up with my normal maintenance it has been very easy to take care of the scion. The only problem for me has been when I am dealing with rough terrain, the scion is not an off road vehicle. Be careful of deep pothole because it is low to the ground.

It's a very reliable vehicle with little maintenance requires. I have no complaints.

It offers a comfortable ride and has more space than it seems at first glance.
It is very comfortable to drive and ride in. Plenty of space for both legs so you can sit with both feet flat on the floor and let the rest open naturally.

Great car for senior drivers.
Easy for disabled senior to enter and exit. Good gas mileage, comfortable ride. Easy to load and unload wheelchair easy to park easy to fill up with gas. The rear panels are a little too wide and made backing into traffic difficult. There is lots of headroom and back legroom.
jennifer B
on January 4, 2021
Scion xb some things to know.
It is very modern new dashboard, plenty of head and leg room, my husband does not mind driving my car now. It is a tad low to the ground thou and that make the abs sensors stop working and from google search it happens often with that car. I don't like that the stereo even though alpine does not have Bluetooth I love the blue color though and the hatchback.
Diane B
on December 24, 2020
There is not a lot of storage space in the back. Not very deep.
It drives well, and is a very comfortable ride. Plenty of legroom in the front and the back seats. My complaint is that I am short and the seat does not raise up high enough for me. And because they have made the doors taller to accommodate airbags, I have large blind spots on each side, for the mirror is where my eyes are.
Heather S
on December 13, 2020
Gas mileage can be a factor. You get about 280 miles per tank.
Like the way it drives. Space is limited for seating but it does what we need
Mary M
on November 20, 2020
I would purchase another scion if they were still manufactured.
This vehicle is quite reliable. I have made several trips driving it and no complaints at all. The gas mileage is very good and the ride is not 'luxury car' smooth but it takes bumps well. I like the spacious room area even though on the outside it is deceiving. I also like having turn signals on the side mirrors in addition to the head and tail light areas.
Riyaadh A
on October 17, 2020
The dashboard is very cool with everything being in the middle of the vehicle.
I feel like my car is perfect for the everyday person. It is a crossover that has huge legroom and a big trunk as well. With myself being somebody over six feet tall, the height of the vehicle and the comfortability of the car is great. The mpg is also very good as I fill it up once a week when driving to school everyday.
Sarah W

The scion xb is very spacious for a small crossover model.
I love my scion xb. It is very reliable. I have over 125k miles and am still going strong. Lots of room inside for a small crossover. Is affordable for a crossover style. Could be better on mpg. Unfortunately scion stopped making new xbs, but would still highly recommend if purchasing a used model.
Daniel B
on September 11, 2020
Scion: wonder of the road.
It is a normal, well performing vehicle, good on curves, good mpg at high speeds, low maintenance, always clean smog checks. Good cloth seats, comfortable air conditioning and heating. Requires normal oil changes, at every 5000 miles, normal fuel system and engine flushes every now and then, but keep up the maintenance and it keeps performing well.

2011 scion xb is an excellent investment. Perfect for family and singles!
Perfect for any application. Spacious hatch area with seats that lay down flat for even more room to carry large items. Excellent amount of power for a 4 cylinder and has all the features needed. Power windows, locks, and a sunroof. Stock alarm works very well and includes the glass break sensor. Seats are very comfortable all the way around and the heat and ac work flawlessly.
Steven S
on July 28, 2020
One of the most useful, reliable, and cost efficient cars out there.
There are no problems that I can see with the car it is super reliable and useful in lots of situations. It has plenty of room to transport equipment, goods, pretty much anything you need. Has very good gas mileage usually getting me a week or two with one trip to a gas station.
Samantha K

Scion xb- has more soul than the soul.
I absolutely love this car. I have had it since I had turned 16, now I am 24 and the car runs great. Recently, I had bought all four new tires, new brakes, had the suspension/struts taken care of, new wipers, and new alternator put it. Every time I turned the car on, it would make a small humming noise. The mechanic knew right away it was the alternator. I am assuming it was about time to get a new one since I had not bought a new one since I got the car. Other than the usual upkeep (oil, air pressure in tires, wiper blades) the car has not had any major issues. It looks relatively small from the outside, but the inside is actually quite large. Comfortable for 4, doable with 5. Large trunk which works well for grocery shopping. Would definitely recommend this car to new buyers!
Tyler W
on July 7, 2020
Blind spot can be elusive.
The body kit takes some damage, and the car is top heavy. Gas mileage/size of gas tank could be better on such a small car, but it is not terrible. Overall, pretty good car for the price. Very nice on the inside.
Tyler V
on July 2, 2020
Square car ftw. This car is fantastic.
Have had it for over 6 years and have never had a problem. Fantastic, reliable car. Change oil regularly. Have taken it on very long car trips without problems. Driven to Texas and back to Iowa. The square shape is also great for moving. Much easier to pack boxes.
Daniel A
on June 22, 2020
It is made by Toyota and is very reliable. They are much bigger on the inside.
I love the cargo space and I use it for work. I also like the size and the way it drives. It gets good gas mileage. This is my third Scion.
Christina M
on June 7, 2020
For being a small car it really handles well on the highway.
I love roomy it is on the inside, but is not a huge car overall. I wish it had better gas mileage or was a hybrid. Owned the car for 6 years and have no issues with it.
Eddy G
on June 5, 2020
Just an overall amazing car!!
This car is really good on mileage. It always depends on the trip and how you drive it. If you speed more than usual, it's likely you'll need to keep filling the car up, but if you drive relatively at speed limit, then the gasoline/ mileage should take you far. One thing I love most about the car is that it's very comfortable and very spacious. For it being a car meant to be on the small size, it's perfect for space, comfort, reliability and looks.
Sean R
on June 5, 2020
My little scion car and all the fun I had with it.
It's a great little car for first time buyers and drivers I think. The only major problem would be gas mileage but it is not to bad. No major issues since I had the car about 4 years. Needed some TLC when I got it but that I took care of. Feels comfortable.
Juan M

Great car. Burns oil quickly
Great car, I have 271k miles and still runs fine. Comfortable and spacious. Only bad thing is Burns oil quickly. There was a recall but Toyota wouldn't fix it because I allegedly went over the miles allowed for the recall. I wish they would do something about it but they won't

Smooth ride for an easy drive.
It drives really well; a smooth ride. It is very spacious for a 5 passenger car. The gas mileage is decent-usually 25-30 mpg. It does not drive well in the snow though. The car is very low so getting through snow on roads is a challenge. Other than that, I have enjoyed this car very much.

Great car great value. Recommended highly.
This really is a great little car. The updated design is a welcome change to the square body style I had my original 2005 scion xb. Can you attain to a number of standard features the car comes with is spacious interior a number of any comforts. This car is definitely recommend.

Grandma's wheelchair caddy.
I have no problems with this vehicle. I bought it because it can accommodate a wheelchair easily and the door opening is high enough for easy access. The mileage is splendid. I have taken long journeys in it and the ride is comfortable. The back seat is spacious for passengers.
Claire B

Reliable scion xb for suburban driving.
The scion xb is a really nice little car. It is a good size, reliable, and I haven't run into any problems. The only difficulty is that the gas pedal and break is a little jumpy when stopping and starting the car. However, it is easy to drive, you just need to drive carefully for the comfort of your passengers.

Toyota scion xb, great family car.
Really spacious car, does not look like it from the outside. Great on gas. Easy to park and maneuver. Excellent turning ratio. Back seat fully reclines down for extra space. Lots of space in the trunk. Ac was blowing hot air for a while. Just needed to be flushed and recharged.
Lisa T

I like how much keg room there is, but the trunk space is limited. There is not enough trunk space for a lot of stuff..
Yoyo T

Awesome car! Cheap and affordable family car.
It's an awesome car. I got it for school travel and I rarely gives me any issues. One of the perks is that it saves a lot of gas. Sits can go down so I can definitely put things in the back for parties. The only downside is that its costs oil. This car is awesome, cheap for anyone who is willing to take care of it.
Christy W
on October 22, 2019
Good car for the money, low maintenance!
Not a smooth ride but you get use to it, gas mileage is not as good as I hoped. But I drive very short distances so that may be why it's not great. Has needed almost no maintenance even at 100k miles.. Has lots of storage space and comfy seating. Holds good size baggage, with seats folded down you can carry ladders and wood!
Freddy R
on October 11, 2019
Is very comfortable, and spacious. Its maintenance is economical.
No problem. My car is very good. It is an excellent vehicle. When the scion debuted in 2002 it mission was to appeal young buyers. Itis reliability backed by the reputation of Toyota its parent company. Those looking for a stroller with a load capacity in the scion xb have a good option.
Felicia H
on August 25, 2019
It is shaped like the brave little toaster!
No problems, I love this car! It has never given me an issue and I have had it for almost six years. I keep up on the routine maintenance, bought it certified used. The only thing I wish it had was hands free talking. Unfortunately it only has an AUX cord.
Tarrah S
on August 21, 2019
It is very reliable and easy to drive. I think it is a wonderful value. I have never had any real problems with it other than maintenance.
I love how much head room I have in the car. It handles really well in the snow. I have a really good sound system also for it being the stock one. This is the first I have kept longer than 2 or 3 years.
Audrey S
on July 29, 2019
Has a lot more room than it looks.
I like the digital speedometer, I like the amount of space inside the car, I like the large trunk, I like the stereo system, I do not like that the front end is so low, I do not like how cheaply some of the parts are made.
Linda M

The box on wheels- the scion.
Blind spots and viewing.Otherwise it is very reliable and gets good gas mileage. It has good interior space and storage for a compact. Fold-down rear seat has space to carry large items. But. I hate the styling. . I've been told that it will have good resale value because the engine type is no longer produced.
Tye W
on July 17, 2019
There are only 2000 cars in the release series 8. 0.
Could use better gas mileage, as it gets what an SUV would get, maybe a little better. Overall, I think the design is great and the car is trustworthy, but with it being a special shape, replacement parts are extremely expensive in comparison with other vehicles.
Alexandria C

I like interior size of the car, the trunk is a good size, great with gas. I do not like the cloth interior wish I had leather, wish the car sat higher up off the ground, wish I had a sunroof.

Shelley W

The scion xb - a hidden gem.
Although it is a compact car, the squareness of it makes it seem quite roomy inside. If you need extra space, the back seat does fold down and you can hold quite a bit actually. It has pretty good gas mileage and I haven't had any major issues with it. The one thing I wish I could change is that it is a bit noisy. Not terribly so, until you realize that you cannot hear people who are talking in the back seat very well. Then it becomes obvious.
Melissa W

The scion XB is a sporty, compact car with great mileage.
The Scion XB is a great car. It is excellent on gas mileage. There was a recall on one part, but I never had a problem with that part. It was handled quickly. The car has never broken down. It drives smoothly. The style of the car is sporty and compact. The back windshield wipers are a great feature to help with when it is raining.

Big man's great little car.
No problems except for factory recalls. Car drives very well, good acceleration and tracks like is on rails. Gets 25 mpg in town and 32 on the road averaging 65 mph. In 9 years total cost of parts out of pocket has been about 175 dollars. I hope to drive this vehicle for at least another five years. Great little car for someone six feet five inches tall.

Very Spacious for a Small Car
I love my Scion xB. It is very spacious inside for a crossover car. It has great speed and handling. The cost was very reasonable. The things that could be improved are the gas mileage and the suspension. The gas mileage is low for a small car and the suspension is rough. Other than that I highly recommend this car.

Our Scion. This car is extremely roomy and very comfortable.
Haven't really had any problems with this car. It is very roomy and quite comfy. We had this car in storage for a year and it started right up. It has been a very reliable car. It gets good gas mileage. There really is no negative things I can say about this car. It is sad that they no longer make this car.
Bubbles L

Scion db. 2011 - our primary vehicle.
It is comfortable (we have a 4 door model) and easy to drive (we drive a standard but it comes as an automatic too). There's lots of storage in the back. Great gas mileage (~25 mpg). The only thing i'd warn about is that it rides a bit low and you have to be careful with curbs and parking.
Kasey H

I can easily see my surroundings.
I love my car because it is easy to drive and I can easily see what's in front of me. I like how I can see everything around me and not feel enclosed. The gas mileage is really good and I do not have to get gas often. My car is a good fit for me and my dogs can easily fit in the back.

Toyota scion xb summary review.
I love my vehicle because it is unlike other types of cars. It is very unique if you are looking for something with a cool shape that you do not see everyday. It has a 4 wheel drive and is great in wintry weather, it comes in several colors and there is a color for everyone. With this car you will stand out of the crowd.

My scion: the goat for a little cheese.
I love my scion xb. I am going to buy a new one in two years. It works better in the snow with good tires. The steering is excellent and the reliability of the vehicle. I would like to see more power and control of the engine. I would like to see more colors and more enhanced features of a DVD and Blu-ray player.
