This car is incredible, everyone stop driving to look at it, even people walking around. Is very economical expesially here in NYC, I only spend less that $20.00 for full gas every week. Me and my wife are really proud for this car so far, we love it. "THANKS SCION"

Pretty clever thinking regarding interior space efficiency ... larger folks in the backseat will thank you ... I've always liked boxy cars ... It's trippy and funny and fun ... I way like it though I do have one problem which goes as follows: I wanted something very good on gas; I wanted something practical that would hold up ... with such low horsepower, I thought getting a cold air intake would give the transmission better life over the years ... it was supose to marginally increase horsepower and (I thought) not hurt gas mileage ... It did make the XB more peppy, but I'm only getting 26 mpg ... Toyota doesn't seem to have much info on this though ...

With the gas prices on the rise, I quickly got tired of spending so much $$ on gas.. As I was researching used cars with good gas economy, I had found 2 cars that I liked. After doing more research on the Xb and finding out this model was first sold in Japan in 2000, it became a popular car. Saw all the great reviews and finally went for the plunge. The unorthodox design of the car reminds me of the compacts you would normally see in Japan. I test drove both auto and manual and was surprised that this compact had decent power. The manual transmission which has a high gear ratio which helps tremendously for acceleration. I ended up picking up a nice used one from a local Toyota dealer.
Great for old folks too

Apparently the xB is being marketed to buyers younger than my wife and myself, but we fell in love with its utility, price, standard features and ABS, so even though we have a daughter old enough to drive one, we bought it for ourselves. Have had it for about 2 months and continue to love it. Interior room is the signature of this car, but its standard features (including ABS) are a real plus, especially for the $14,100 price we paid in NJ. Gripes? The interior lighting could be better and brighter, and the ride could be smoother, but these are minor complaints. Though our suburban nieghbors have yet to adjust to seeing the xB in our driveway, we look out now and then just to admire it.

I am a 35 year old and I can't say enough about my new Scion Xb. Great styling, great features, great value, and unlike most cars you purchase and then just drive, after you purchase your Xb you will feel compelled to pimp it anyway you want with all the after market accessories available directly from Scion. Save a couple hundred dollars and get the European style taillights, save another couple hundred more and get the fog lamps. There are so many options to choose from and the listed price of each includes installation at the nearest Scion dealership. So, instead of watching MTV's Pimp My Ride, now you have an affordable and fun way of pimping your own. Best of all, my kids love it!
