Great commuter car and comfy.
It is roomy for a little car. Clean lines. Leg room. Operates nicely. It is comfortable to sit in. Great gas mileage. Enough room for car seats. You can fit a large grocery haul in the back, but you cannot fit anything larger that grocery bags. Perfect commuter car.

Blind spots in front, but great drive!
I love the amount of space there is in the car. It has a lot of trunk space and the backseat has a lot of legroom. It drives great and is easy to maintain. It is great on gas! I don't like that there is blind spots in the front. When driving and turning left or right at an intersection, the panel by the front window is thick and blocks view. I use a long Japanese rear view mirror to help gain more visibility for when I reverse. But other than that, I love my car!

2012 black 5 speed manual scion xb is amazing!
Drives so nice! Gets great gas mileage and very comfortable to be in. The base sound system sounds amazing! We bought a 5 speed manual transmission and it's a pleasure to drive. There is a ton of space in the back seat & trunk area. Completely fulfills all of our needs.

Cute and comfortable great for senior travel.
I have had no problems. I get great gas mileage, it is very comfortable for seniors to entrance and exit. There is room for a wheelchair. And there is enough leg room for people in the back seat. I have taken it on long trips and short ones and it is very comfortable and holds enough luggage for an extended trip.

My Scion that I will not replace. Good car to have.
I had a major issue with my electrical wiring harness and it almost took about a 9-12 months of in and out of the dealership. They replaced it for free because they could not find the issue. After the replacement there was no issue. I'm the second owner from 1600 miles to 152K my current mileage.

Fake taxi car: a review of the scion xb.
Reliable car. 250k miles and still drives incredibly well! Lasts longer than most other cars I have owned. It is a shame scion is not making any new vehicles because I'd buy maybe a tc or xd. The only thing I would say is the shape of the car is kind of an upset but it is okay, I am going to customize it.

Scion db. The real deal car.
She's been a great car, I have used her for a lot of my travel from NY to VA quite a few times and she'd wonderful on gas. I haven't had any problems at all. Just like with any other vehicle maintenance is all important. Regular oil change, tune up when it is needed etc.

A good mid-size vehicle for daily commute, handles road trips well.
I like the digital display for speed, odometer, etc. It is a reliable car for my daily commute, and with the back seats folded down there's tons of room for our camping gear. It also came with a spare tire and emergency tools to replace the tires in a pinch--though the car jack included is not as sturdy, and could slip if the handbrake is not engaged. Absolutely make sure the emergency brake is engaged to prevent the back tires from rolling and dropping the car.

There is so much space that I was able to help a friend move.

Great car for the price, would buy again.
The transmission fluid needs to be changed often. The seats are not the most comfortable but the steering is exceptional. Overall I think my car is very reliable and it is easy to feel when something is going wrong or not. It handles really well in snowy weather.

2012 scion xb, great roomy car.
Economic vehicle with more than ample legroom and cargo space. I have driven 142 k miles and only repaired the ac. Very reliable and excellent for buzzing around town, it has been maintained by the local Toyota dealer regularly. It is adequate on trips and has no issue staying up with traffic flow, could use more comfort features on long drives.

Scions make for a great first car.
I love most things about this car. It drives really well, for how small it looks from the outside it actually has a lot of space, and it is great on gas. The only downfalls about this car is the way the car looks and the tank for gas is kind of small. But thankfully I do not drive very far ever so it works for me. I believe it holds about 10-12 gallons. I think it is a great small car but still being able to fit a good amount of people.

Comfort and low cost with lots of features.
Reliable. Low gas cost. Roomy. Radio is great and ride is smooth. Haven't had any issues yet, but so far I love it! Cost of maintenance is very low as well, as parts are easily obtainable and upkeep is low. Both of my dogs have loved riding in it as well, as the seats fold down and give them tons of room

The scion xb is a very comfortable and spacious vehicle.
The scion xb is great for road trips or if you are moving it can load quite a bit by putting the back seats down. It is so spacious. I have not had any problems with my car besides normal wear and tear of a car. The scion xb is very reliable when it comes to traveling long distances. The seats are comfortable, you have plenty of space for yourself, and it can hold a lot in the trunk.

Scion xb a tiny powerful vehicle.
Alternated went out early. Other than that it is a wonderful vehicle. It has a ton of room whenever the seats are flat. It also has a very zippy feel.

Scion xb is roomy and dependable. Lots of storage in back for shopping.
My scion xb is a reliable vehicle. It is great on gas. The car is very roomy with ample storage space. I have not had any mechanical problems with my car since I purchased it which is great since it is not brand new. I travel to work 5 days a week about 20 miles each way and I normally only fill my gas tank once a week. That includes errands here and there near home or work so this is a plus for me. I am not a big fan of the shape of the car. It is boxy and not very attractive and I would recommend tint for the windows as they are quite large and the sun can be brutal in the afternoons. Overall for me this car is functional, dependable and great on gas so I am happy. I would definitely recommend or purchase again.

I think the most interesting thing about it is how spacious it is on the inside.
My Toyota scion xb has served me well the passed 5 years. It is been durable and reliable. I have replaced the brakes, shocks, rotors & calipers but considering how much I used it I do not feel like it is caused me any issues that are out of the ordinary. When I bought it, I believe the mileage was around 58,000. Now it is around 118,000. I put about 60k miles on it so I believe the upkeep I have paid for is normal for this kind of use.

The scion xb has a toaster shape.
The scion xb is very spacious car where one can load and haul a lot of things, that is what I love about this car. The biggest issue is the size of the gas tank. I live in the suburbs of a city, so I do not do much highway driving, so my gas mileage is not always the greatest so I have to fill up more frequently.

My Scion XB, a great value.
I am a large person, almost 400 lbs, and yet I can fit in and drive my XB comfortably. It has good acceleration even though it's only 4 cylinders, has great handling, is easy and fun to drive and gets good mileage. When you pop the hatch behind the back seats it has decent storage and a luggage rack up top.In 7 years the only major part replacements, other than the usual tires brake pads wheel resurfacing and cabin, oil and air filters were the front and rear springs/struts. The only negatives would be no 4 wheel drive and limited towing capacity.

It is definitely trooper of a car, it will not break down easily.
It is very dependable and drives smooth for the most part. Also, it is quite comfortable and has a lot of storage space. The average miles per gallon is not the best, so a lot of money is spent on gas. Not recommended for long travels or road trips. The front windshield breaks very easily. The passenger air bag had a recall, and had to be taken in to replace, which took a long time, not convenient.

Scion xb better than most.
Rust on the roof. It's a small car with good interior room and trunk space. I really do like the family friendliness of the car. Interior isn't the best. I enjoy the performance of the vehicle.

Reliable compact daily driver.
No real problems, and the car itself is pretty reliable. My main complaint is that the leg room is a bit cramped for people that are over 6ft, but I do like the hatchback feature. I'd definitely recommend the xb for anyone in need of a compact SUV type car.

It is basically a Camry with a different body.
Mainly size, compact but can carry large items such as dining tables and other household furniture. I made a tire change at purchase and got alloy rims with low profile tires and I dislike the ride and longevity and noise of the tires.

The Scion XB: Speedy, Sporty and Storage Space for Days!
I purchased my purple Scion XB as a pre-owned car directly from the Toyota dealership and I've loved it since day one. It's faster than it looks! It takes off very quickly and stops with precision. The seats are comfortable and plentiful and when the back seats fold down the storage space rivals a minivan. It's economical to repair although I've had no major repairs thus far, just minor oil changes, and tire changes.The Scion XB handles well, gets decent gas mileage, has a sporty look and overall feels great to drive.

I love that I can connect my iPhone to the sound system via Bluetooth. The sound system itself sounds great and is not difficult to use.

It's like the T.A.R.D.I.S.: Bigger on the inside than you would expect in a compact style car.
The car is very spacious inside, which makes for comfort driving. I have had no major mechanical problems with it thus far. One thing I like best is the size of the windows all around—it makes me feel safer when driving to have such amazing visibility. The height of the seats getting into the car are the right height—my back is much happier. One problem involves the sun visors. Because the side windows are much wider than standard, when you flip the visor to block the sun from the side it stops about six inches short of the window's far edge, which is usually where the sun seems to hit my side vision. If there were an extender built in that would be ideal. That's my only complaint thus far. Overall, I'm really pleased with this car!

Great reliable car that is comfortable to drive.
Back brakes constantly need fixed. Great gas mileage. Very roomy inside for passenger. Not a lot of trunk space. Great a/c. Had the car for 6 years so far and no real problems. Very reliable. Cup holders on the doors plus in between driver and passenger seat. Only one car outlet.

Roomier inside than I would have guessed. It is an easy car to park.
It's a midsize car that fits easily into most parking spaces. The interior is roomy both front and back. I do not like the location of the charger....in the console in the middle at the BOTTOM. It is a very basic car.

A Great Reliable Hatchback
My vehicle is reliable and spacious for its size. Great mileage. I enjoy the low maintenance of it and how easy it is to keep the exterior clean. I wish the black interior was easier to maintain with having children, but reveals everything. The technology is not as advance as other cars in its age range, and the USB port is difficult to get access.

Totally reliable vehicle!
This vehicle has been extremely reliable. I typically travel across town on a daily basis, around 30-50 miles a day, and I have had no major issues with the vehicle. It is more spacious than it appears, with a back seat that folds down completely for more space to store things. There may have been a recall regarding the oil consumption of the vehicle and I do believe my car has been affected, as it does seem to go through oil more frequently now. Otherwise, a great car that I expect will last for several more years.

Safe vehicle with amazing space.
Great car safe, roomy, great on gas, no problems with car, it is amazing if you have a family because it looks small but is very big on the inside. I have gotten so many compliments on how the car looks saying it looks like a “Tokyo drift car”. I have had my car for 7 years and it still drives like it is new.

That it is incredibly reliable.
I like it because it is fuel efficient, low cost and fit my needs when I bought it. I dislike it because I've spent a lot of money fixing things on it that I've never had to spend on any of my older cars. It's too low to the ground, and has a lot of road noise.

My Scion overall has excellent performance
My Scion is great. It drives smoothly most of the time and is decent on gas. It is pretty new and since I have kept up with the maintenance of the car, it runs like new at nearly 100,000 miles. However, it's only problems concern AC and alignment. In the summer, the AC does not work well. Also, the tires need an alignment because the car shakes when braking on the freeway.

Extremely reliable and great on gas.
It is spacious and has more room than you would think from the outside. The interior is to the level you would expect of a $20k vehicle. Handling is great and the newer years make much more power than when the model first came out.

The amount of space for the size is unbeatable.
I really love my scion xb. I have not encountered any issues with it other then sometimes if you are at a drive thru the ac does not work that well but that just started happening after 7 years of owning the vehicle. It drives really well has plenty of space it is a perfect for not feeling like you are in such a big car or small it is right there in the middle.

Plenty of room! Handles well! You feel safe in it.
I love the Scion XB. I am 6'2" tall and it's very roomy. Lots of headroom and legroom. Drives nice, plenty of pickup.

It's the last of Its kind.
I like the engine and gas mileage. For a Scion it has smooth lines and style. I wish that it was larger.

How wonderful a scion XB is.
My car is great! It is easy to get into. It has lots of room in backseat. We have not had any problems. The seats go down to put things in the back. The only back thing is the shocks. My elderly mother can get in and out. It is comfortable when riding. It is good for older persons that are in a walker

While I am not pleased with my car, it has been reliable.
My Scion xB is a temporary vehicle for me until I can afford the car I want. While I haven't had many problems, it is very minimalistic in terms of upgrades, it shakes when you drive (probably because of the boxy shape since it catches wind easily), and it's not very pleasing to look at.

I wouldn't have picked it, but I do not want to trade it in now.
It was originally my mother's car. I do not think that I would have chosen this design myself-just the aesthetics are not my tastes enough to have made me look at other vehicles first. It is too boxy. I was a musician who was on the road up to 25 days out of the month 8 months a year, and I was often alone with just my 120 lb. 5 foot keyboard and 2. 5 foot cube of amplifier and the one thing that I can say in favor of this vehicle is that it would have been nice to have for the space and the relatively good gas mileage it gets. You can fold the seats down and fit a surprising amount of cargo in the back area and when you unload it, the seats flip back up easily and you are good to go. My boyfriend and I managed to pack a 3 over vintage sectional that I found online for an insanely reasonable price and I was sure that we were going to have to take two trips. But he and the seller managed to do it and I am looking at it now set up in the living room and that seems impossible. One thing that I absolutely dislike about this vehicle is the difficulty in backing up. It is not an easy car to change lanes in either. It has multiple blind spot areas and I thought it was just me. But I have let two different friends and a cousin use it for moving something and all three have started out with "it could just be me, but-" and proceeded to mention the same things. Two of them are guys, in case anyone was curious. Other than that, it is okay. Oh, the lights were left on when my dad was still alive and he jump started it and it has a feature where you have to go to the dealership if that happens or else it will not go into second gear or maybe it is their? Something weird with the transmission speed and testing. I was not living here when it happened and I cannot be sure if I have the right details.

It is compact. It is small. It is fast. It is cute.
I love that the car is compact. I love that the color is stingray like grey. I don't like that Toyota took over Scion and changed the Scion logo.

Spacious and roomy car for everyone!
So spacious and roomy! Great for single people or families. It's easy to cruise and handle. The brakes are a little touchy but not anything that you cannot get used to. It has good gas mileage also. This is my second car I've had and I hope it'll last me a long time!

Possible Scion SUV issues.
I have had to replace tires - bad ones from dealership. Abrupt weather changes can activate the tire pressure sensors -easy enough to check tire pressure and reset the sensors, there are instructions in the owner's manual. I had to replace the Schrader? Valves in the ac system.
