I am a 65 year old grandmother and absolutely love this awesome little car which I can't say for the previous 10 I owned. It is so responsive I have to really keep my eye on the speedometer (which is extremely easy to do in this car). Everyone is so impressed by the room inside. Would like to see a better armrest and a little less plastic on the door. All in all, it's a keeper! Blackberry crush is a terrific color and I am getting alloys soon.

From BMW X5 to Scion xB

I went from driving a BMW X5 4.4i to Scion xB and I don't regret the move. The xB is fun to drive and handles great! This purchase made economic sense and I recommend it as it averaging about 27-28 MPG. One of the easiest cars to get in and out of, very roomy inside. Lots of standard feature for the low price. I just can't say enough good things about it. It comes from a company that i feel is very reliable when it comes to maintenance as my second vehicle is a 98 4Runner which has 198,688 and still running with no problem.

Went from a 2007 Durango Limited to the 2009 xB. We went from 14 mpg to 28 mpg (although to give the Durango credit. Yeah..it has a HEMI!. We weren't sure if we would like something as small as the xB with both of us being "real" sized people. The xB has a lot of room inside and is very comfortable. We have had it for about 2 months and have had no problems at all. It is surprisingly peppy for a 4 cyl and handles great!

Beats My Jeep Cherokee

From 16 MPG (Jeep) to 25 MPG city (xB), Oh my, what a relief in these days of inflated gas prices. Only a couple of weeks old, but the love affair with this little Gem continues to build. A near future trip is planned and if all goes well, will be one of many this year. I love all the cargo space and when taking my 95 pound Boxer, he is comfortable too. Just a great vehicle and the best of many I test drove before purchasing.

New to me, but I like it

We now have 250 miles on our xB(ox). Things I like include the stying, performance. I like the cruise control. Other cars I've driven will downshift and floor the gas if you hit the break and then resume cruise. Not this Toyota system. Resume = smooth return to previous speed. Things I don't like. I'm short (5'7") and hit my knees on the steering column getting in and out. Would it have broken the bank to put a second arm rest for the front passenger? Would prefer an analog speedo rather than digital.
