We purchased it 40,000 miles and three years ago. To date, our only expense has been an oil/filter change every 3k. As our grandchildren say: It look so small on outside, but it's so roomy on the inside. Handles great in wind and even in snow (as long as it's under 6" in depth)-- very stable. Delivers gas mileage far in excess of the EPA rating-- 28 mpg overall. Quality thru-out-- made in Japan. Amazing storage and flexibility. Powerful, smooth, quiet Camry engine. No rattles and noises. Is it a SUV, a hatchback, a station wagon, or a sports sedan? It has elements of all those. This car is underpriced by about $5,000, thus a bargain.

After 800 miles on my pre-owned 2010 XB I have found it to be an economical and fun car to drive. A recent 500 mile road trip returned 34.5 mpg on an interstate over the rolling hills of N. Missouri. Cruise control was set for 66 mph. The second half of the trip was on US and state highways using very little cruise control. Even with passing through small towns and some hilly, winding roads I got 35.6 mpg average. An overdrive 6th gear would work great on this car. The torquey 2.4 Camry engine pulls easily from 2000 rpm up. Update: 17000 miles later it continues to be a fun car to drive. There has been 0 expenses other than normal maintenance.

My 2010 XB has been almost exactly the vehicle that meets my needs. My wife's car is a 2009 Camry SE. Have owned for 2.5 years (19,000 miles). Comfortable, roomy vehicle for around the town driving (I am 6'2"). Had a problem with comfortable driving position-adding lumbar solved that problem. Fun to drive & handles great-I added sway bar. Lots of power. Cargo capacity tremendous for size vehicle. Wish interior was a bit nicer-no padding on door armrests among other such items.

5 of 5 people found this review helpful

The interior space for driver and the large backseat were the primary draws for considering this vehicle. As a 2006 Scion xB owner I resisted the move to the new model because of the "mpg" factor. We can fit 4 adults and one tall 8-year old in the vehicle. Handling is good, the engine is peppy and is averaging 26 mpg overall (this is a good trade-off for increased comfort, ride and a quieter interior). The odometer system is awkward to use at first and overall the gauges are comfortable if you are used to the xB. After the first month I no longer wonder why I traded my "can" (car-van) in on a newer model. Access for those with hip and knee problems is easy and mostly pain-free.

I purchased my 2010 xB in August of 2009. Since then, I've put almost 35,000 miles on it. This includes a daily commute of 30+ miles each way. Also longer trips of 250 miles and one of about 1,000 miles. Everything has been just as I thought it would be and that's a good thing. I avg about 27 MPG and can get over 30 in the right conditions. The car is comfy and has all of the reasonable things standard. The cargo space is very good for a car its size. It's much larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Best of all is it's reliability. I'm this far in and the only time I took it to the dealer it turned out the burning smell was from a plastic bag caught on the muffler. :)

Traded in an '07 tC and am delighted with similar performance but much more utility. Is more pleasant to drive and has a good ride quality balance - compliant enough in corners and over bumps, but not too stiff. Tons of room inside was a big reason for buying. Does everything we need it to do well, though I would always like to see better fuel mileage.

It has been only two day of driving my Super White XB. I really like the way it handles. The center gauges are not really a problem. The steering wheel is not telescopic, but the driver's seat has a height adjustment, so there really shouldn't be a problem. The radio plays very well. The A/C is excellent. My only negative comment is it is a little noisy when accelerating, but it has been awhile since I have driven a 4 cylinder vehicle. Overall a great car for the price. Lots of space and very roomy inside. Great vehicle if you have dogs.

I'm much older than the people Scion targets for the xB, but this car is perfect for baby-boomers. Strap in the grandkids or flop the back seats forward for 69 cubic feet of space. Previously I drove a Toyota Avalon or an aging 4-Runner. The xB gets better gas mileage than the Avalon and has the same cargo space as the 4 runner. Its short 167 inch length and tight 34.8 ft turning radius are useful in any parking situation. (think San Francisco) The 2.4 liter 4 cyl is from the Camry, but the Camry weighs 400 lbs more. So the xB has plenty of pep when needed. Getting in or out of the xB is so-o-o-o easy, front or back seat.

Better Mileage Than Advertised

I've had the XB (Blackberry Crush) for about 3 weeks now, and driven around town as well as on 500 mile trip. With the 5 sp manual, I am getting 28-29 mpg regardless of city/hwy (disclaimer, I am older and don't do jackrabbit starts.) The car has a lot of pep, handles very well, and has much more comfortable seats than a lot of cars we considered. After a minivan the size seems small, but the interior is surprisingly spacious. We hesitated because the EPA mileage estimate is only 24 mpg, but my experience mirrors that of others who have had 28-30 mpg overall. We are very happy with the XB.

I've had the "sizzling crimson mica" (fine, it's purplish-brown) for about a week now. Almost 400 miles on it so far (long commute). MPG is, to date, about 27 with a mix of 75% hw, 25% stop & go so I'm a happy camper, based on expectations going into it. Prior to purchasing, I considered and test drove a number of others in the same gen. $ range: Soul, Fit, Versa, Cube. Very tempted by the Cube but the xB simply felt more stable (and slightly less noisy) on the highway and the cargo capacity is great. The comfort of the car is very good, relatively speaking (keeping in mind you're not paying for a luxury car). Exterior is..well, it's an xB so folks tend to love 'em or hate 'em.

So much fun to drive. The updated exterior is way better than the first...more girly. I traded in my 2008 4runner while it still had some equity. I commute 60 miles per day so MPG was attractive on the Scion XB because I still wanted extra space. At first I overlooked the car, but after driving it am in love!!! I am not sure how well an automatic would accelerate but the manual is a blast.

It has been 4 days since I picked up my xB. So far the car is great. It has plenty of pep. It handles nicely and is very roomy inside. I purchased it because I have dogs and needed something that would accomodate them and still be fun to drive. There are some things that I would wished were better, but overall the car is great for my purpose.

The xB is fun to look at and fun to drive. Some don't like the styling (Hi mom!), but I smile every time I look at it! It has plenty of power and while it's no sports car, it handles well enough for everyday driving. The ride can get jittery over rough roads, but overall the ride is good. It's also very quiet inside, with less wind noise than you'd expect from such a boxy car. People are always amazed at how spacious the car is inside. Massive amounts of head room and leg room, especially in the back. I love the audio system--it has so many features and it sounds terrific. I call this car my giant iPod accessory! Mileage is good, not great. I get about 25mpg in about 75% city driving.

We have had our box for almost 2 months now and are very pleased. We've averaged 29-30mpg combined city/highway, so I don't understand how it can have such a low rating. My only real gripe is that I'm 6'5", and my arms stay outstretched with little to no support, which gets tiresome on long trips. Lumbar support in the seat and a telescopic wheel would be very helpful. My wife is 5'4" and is very comfortable driving it. We love the styling, and it's a blast to drive. Overall very happy with our purchase.

Most fun car I have had in years. Had many Camry's with more creature comforts but I added MANY options so it is now very comfortable. The Camry motor in the xB makes a huge difference in performance. It could use a 5th gear but does well with a 4- speed auto. Back seats fold flat and their is an incredible amount of space. Put after-market alloys on mine and get many compliments. My fiance' loves to drive it so getting driving time is getting more challenging. Sound system is awesome. Even if they were options, needs telescoping steering wheel, heated mirrors, power driver's seat,5- speed auto, and a few other things. Otherwise, love the car.

We just traded in our 2005 BMW X3 on a 2010 XB. The XB is almost the same size inside and actually fits a booster seat for our 3 year old daughter better in the back. The BMW was a terrible fit for car seats and the the booster seats. Nothing would fit in between the seatbelts. This car fits much better, but still not perfect. It's nowhere near as quiet inside, but hopefully it will not have the problems. We were getting ready to spend over 3k in repairs as our BMW has many issues including bad all wheel drive motor (1.8k to fix), A/C wasn't working, passenger seat wasn't working, and bluetooth stopped working.

We bought my Scion with 31k miles in 2013. In 10 years it's at 131k miles and we haven't had any serious issues. We've done basic maintenance like tires, brake pads, oil changes, 3 batteries, and 1 alternator (I have a loud sound system!). In a few days we're leaving it to have the wheel bearings done (possibly). Other than basic stuff and the tire issue we're currently dealing with we've had no problems out of the Scion. I absolutely love it.

Bought this car as a trade for cash for clunkers. So far, the car has exhibited great handling, so so gas mileage and a good ride if you have less than 2 people in it. Things like programmable wipers, lighted ignition light and auto headlight shutoff are some of the options I miss that were in my clunker, that was in pretty great condition. I know this is the car that was built to be rebuilt, but after adding a couple of options you are spending much as a well equipped Honda accord ex. I truly don't see the great bargain for the new Young generation. I only see a great marketing idea on behalf of Toyota. I think that Toyota should squeeze a bit more value out of there option closet.

A baby boomer who loves the sporty feel of a very practical car. I simply love my Scion XB and really got into the buying process. With the addition of many of the performance features, the car is a joy to drive. The addition of interior and exterior features makes for a very classy look. I have gotten better than reported gas mileage, particular with the addition of the sport's muffler that helps with coasting and keeps me from speeding! The sunroof addition has increased my driving experience on those pleasant summer evenings where you can enjoy the intermix of music and soft breezes.

I have owned a 2009 Scion Xb for over 2 years and have driven mine for 44,000 miles. It is a good car but not a great car. I bought it for fun to drive, which it is very fun the way mine is equipped, but not a great commuter vehicle. Fit and finish are ok, not as good as other Toyotas and definitely not up to Honda/Subaru like quality. There are some rough plastics and some of the interior design elements are quirky(like the useless drivers armrest). Mine has the TRD lowering springs and 19" TRD alloy wheels which make it look killer. However, as a commuter vehicle it makes the ride extremely harsh. Honda Fit a better choice for a similar price or stretch the budget and get a VW Golf.

I have had my new Classic Silver XB for about 4 days. It is so fun to drive and is very comfortable for all 5 passengers. It was the best value for any car in the price range. My XB has the same standard options (except Bluetooth) than my wife's 2009 Carolla XLE that we paid $20,000 for and the XB handles much better. I think you will love the cargo space as well. The fuel economy is good as well for the amount of power the car has. Give one a test drive and I think you will feel the same as I do. I LOVE this EB!!!

I got this car last week, and I absolutely love it. It is fun to drive, has more storage space than an SUV, and has some of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. That being said, it is not perfect. I would prefer more ground clearance, as 5.1 inches is just a little too low for me. I also with that driver armrest and much of the center console was reconfigured.

Had my XB 2 months now. Fuel economy was one of my top concerns. Along with room for the family. I use it to commute against traffic as I work for a manufacturer in the country town opposite Dallas. Everyone at my plant drive pickups and laugh at me when they see me pull up in my box. I guess I'll be the only one laughing when gas goes back up to $4.00 a gallon. I'm averaging about 31 mpg but I constantly am watching the fuel economy gauge to see how far up I can get it. I have a manual transmission so I coast down all hills in neutral. Plenty of room inside for the family. My daughters love the look of the box.

I had a 2008 Scion XD preciously and updated to the 2010 XB for the much needed cargo room with a kid all. My main reason for another Scion is that the XD before got way way better mileage than the sticker as we went from North NJ to Ocean City MD with little over half a tank used! Currently with the XB we are getting about 26 MPG average with 90% street which is a lot better than most cars. I totally love how Scions get better mileage than the stickers.. Upgraded sound is an awesome must and remote-start built into the key is the best!! All the other clones cannot beat the original and best. Also has the best safety features standard as far as boxed goes..

Just got my xB a month ago and I already have 2K miles on it. It does good on the freeway and in stop and go traffic on my 24 mile daily commute in LA. Love the style (my boxy car!). I do have a little rattle in my passenger side front door. Hopefully they will be able to resolve that. Has great power although I wish the gas tank was a few gallons larger so I could go all week without gassing up. I went from a Saturn L200 which I absolutely loved, but this is more comfortable and roomier in the back seat. This is my first car with an IPod hook up, so that has been really fun. The stereo is great for a standard option. Wish the interior was not black.

After much research bought this XB to replace my 2005 Focus wagon--elec stability control primary reason. Great vehicle for day to day driving- especially when hauling room needed. Handling (with the add on stabilizer bar) is great! Plenty of power and room. (I am 6'3" 205 lbs). Really good standard sound system for this price class. Stability control has worked well so far in Cleveland snow. Have been very pleased with how car has handled cross winds on the highway. Weight and power good trade off for so- so gas mileage.

Just bought the 2010 murasaki purple 7.0 series, its a great car. My wife has a '06 4.0 series and I always loved how nimble and tight the steering felt. I don't like that hers is an automatic I don't like the shift points. I prefer a manual gearbox anyways. The '06 xb has 64k miles and never had it in the shop for anything. So I bought myself one as well. Lots of performance parts to spruce the hp, and numerous aesthetic parts to make it your own.

I got a good Trade In value for my 2003 VW gti for my 2010 Scion XB. It was an offer I couldn't resist. I was looking for a more reliable car than my VW. The AUX IN/USB input and steering wheel control for the Pioneer stereo system sold me. You can use an IPOD, jump drive, or even a portable hard drive for the USB input. After market add on were cheap. I got nice interior LED Chrome bar floor lighting and Door/Back Bumper Sills for really cheap. I just wish the steering was a little tighter. The car rides like a Toyota if that makes any sense. The is a cool multi-purpose car that doesn't look uncool.

I bought the Scion xb in '05. After owning it for almost 5 years and saw the new model, I just fell in love all over again. This time I got the Release Series 7.0 , 186 of 2000 is what's on my car. I also purchased the spoilers. It didn't get the manual on my '05 Scion so this time I made sure I did. The car feels so much bigger and I can really tell. Love the color. Did someone said it only had one setting on wipers? You better look again buddy !

I just bought the '10 xB and couldn't be happier. We already have put almost 4K miles on it and it is a pleasure to drive. The gas mileage we found on the highway could get up to 30 mpg. All in all I would highly recommend this car.

Still have our 2005 Rel 2.0 and love our 2010 xB. 05 model gets 35 mpg on trips so we bought another one. Only one trip so far, into the Smokies for 7 days, avg 31 mpg overall on mountain roads & xways. Car is absolutely the best cross over out there. Smooth, quiet and fuel efficient. Just finished mixed driving of 275 mi and avg 31.6. Very thick comfortable seats too and lots of room for this 6 foot 220 pounder. You just can do any better. We drove Honda's and other Scions. Ford has no hi-mpg crossover and GM quality history precludes any consideration of any model. Chrysler has no quality or mpg in any line.

I bought my 2010 xB in November 2009 and to this day absolutely love it! It drives and handles like a small BMW, and looks sharp to boot.

Pretty Awesome Car

I love this car. I traded from a 2006 Ford Focus. This car handles like a dream. It easily makes tight turns at 50 mph and will go it to a power slide which is great. I put a cold air intake and it dramatically improved the acceleration across the entire power curve. I put on a new exhaust system and the car lost its delay from pressing the gas to acceleration. My only complaint is the fuel. I get about 25 less miles per gallon but this isn't a big concern because of the horsepower the car has

I can't believe that this car doesn't cost more. It's spacious, safe, comfortable, has great interior features, and has great style. This is definitely the best value for your money. I love it!

I was fairly happy with car until this week. Seats aren't comfy, but I can live with it. Driving to Vegas, car all of a sudden comes out of gear, check engine and oil lights come on and I coast to the side of road. I turn it off for a minute, and it starts right up. took to dealer and cleared codes. still in process of what really went wrong. Thought potential buyers might be interested. Have Toyota problems gone to scion ?

I test drove a 2006 XB a few years ago and rejected it, too slow and noisy. This revised model is a major improvement. I'm getting the advertised 23 mpg or so around town, but on a 50 mile (mostly rural) drive to Lancaster PA it returned 33 - far above the 28 mpg sticker for hwy. It's quiet, crisp handling, and has excellent visibility and interior space. I'm sorry i didn't test drive sooner. And you can't beat the pricing.

Great Value Buying Used

I bought my 2010 XB in June 2017 with 50,000 miles. I have put 15,000 miles on in about 6 months. I average 23.7 around town and 29+ on the highway trips. The Computer (mpg; speedo) is off approximately 7% registering to high. I have maintained the oem tire size and standard steel rims. I removed the front bumper cover and straightened out the air pick up and installed a screen where the fog lights would be and the car breathes much better. This is a great no frills mid sized car. Very versatile in use and hauling. As others mentioned the drivers side only arm rest is a joke. I removed the arm rest and installed a console from a 2011-2015 and the problem is almost solved. (you must reuse your ipod/aux cable and route to the center console). The console (aux/usb) is not an elegant solution but the arm rest console is perfect (5'10") . Great car for the money used. Typical toyota reliability.

Extremely Dependable. Extremely Versatile! Its a shame they stopped making them. It has the drivetrain of a camry so it will be serviceable for many years to come. 6 years and the repairs were only maintenance items brakes, tires, oil. I did lose a roof trim piece in the car wash.

Hipsters box

I bought this xB 2010 in replace for my unreliable and expensive vw jetta. This box doesn’t really have a power and you have to plan your overtake in the freeway. Car is zippy in city driving and it handles well. The best part is that the transmission.. although it has 4 speed auto (ancient) but extremely reliable and easy for my pocket to maintain (Cost me $88 for drop and fill auto tranny) compared to my vw jetta that costed me $600 for transmission maintenance service. Overall, this car has character in its own rights. I put 17” rims with 215/45/17 firestone tires that came directly from 2016 corollas. I got this feeling that this car will stay with years to come.

Great road trip car. 300,000 miles going strong

I've had my 2010 Scion xB since 2012. I've put 225,000 miles on it. 25 trips from Portland Oregon to Arizona. Good little road trip car. Good MPG, I installed slotted / drilled rotors and ceramic disc pads, a rear TRD swat bar, and 18" TRD wheels with Michilen tires. I swapped in the touchscreen stereo from a 2016 Scion TC... direct plug & play with the OEM wiring adapters. Huge upgrade! I also installed sound deadening in all 4 doors and the front floor areas. I use this daily as a work vehicle hauling construction materials, table saw, chop saw, tool boxes...etc. Reliability is rock solid. I do Mobil 1 full synthetic 0-20 oil and Mobil 1 oil filter every 8,000 miles. I had the oil consumption recall at 148K and Toyota did it free...AND.. gave me a free rental! I right at 300,000 miles and no end in sight. Best, most reliable car I've ever owned.
