Scion xB Special Release 6.0
This car is more a mini minivan than a urban sedan. As a 40-something couple with a toddler, this car fits us nicely. We bought this car because it met ours needs for reliability, affordable price, interior room, good power on hills, adequate gas mileage (barely), & overall value. After 4k miles and plenty of reflection, I would still buy this car, but with different options: Base car in blue, Standard radio-touch screen version is difficult to use, Upgrade suspension, C-pillar & rear net storage (have), Rear seat/cargo area cover (have), Splash guards/wheel flares (ebay), auto dim rear view mirror (far to reach), all weather floor mats, and see other stuff below.
Nice Ride!
I've had this car for a year now but my MPG is not what I expected it gives an average of 24 mpg combined I though it gave more than that. Other than it is a good car for the money I paid
- Base WagonMSRP: $6,999160 mi away

I would buy another one!
I purchased a Release Series 6.0 and was glad I did. Only 2,500 of these were produced. This model comes with a Pioneer DVD Navigation system, interior LED accent lighting (can choose from four colors), a custom all-black grille, and a few other minor tweaks. It has been a great vehicle so far and I enjoy driving it every day that I am on the road. It is incredibly quiet, accelerates nicely, and handles beautifully. It has been such a good vehicle for my family, that I am thinking about getting my wife one very soon.
Balance the car
I love the XB but it needs some visual balance. First the single backup light needs a partner to balance the bumper. Also, annoying is the fact only one armrest is provided but at least it is for the driver. And one final" want" for my XB would be dual pipes to really make a power statement. I guess it is the old v-8 mindset that I grew up with in the 60s.
Release 6.0 Only flaw is the NAV system
Ride is great, huge amount of interior room. Traction system is good in snow. Only issue is the NAV radio. I am on my third and still can not get one in which all the feature actually work. iPod function takes 5 minutes to load "VR dictionary" each time. Dealer just keeps ordering a new one and sticking it in. They say there is not much else they can do as it is not a Toyota product.
