Small Price for a Great Car

2011 Scion xB 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
We have had the car for a week now and we just love it.
Especially my wife whom I didn't think she would take a liking to it.
But she did and it is hard to get her out of it.
We are both retired and were looking for something to replace to the two cars we had.
(sold them both on the same day over the internet). I have been driving an Infiniti for the past 10 years, and I cannot believe … all the euipment that comes as standard on this car.
I was surprised how quiet it is and the amount of space that you have, espercially with the back seats down.
I just read that "Kiplinger" has rated the xB as on of the top ten 2011 cars for Best New Car Resale Values.
Surprisingly awesome

2011 Scion xB 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
I went to the dealership to test drive the Toyota Matrix, and saw the XB sitting there. After test driving the Matrix and being unimpressed with the handling, I asked the dealer if I could test the Scion. I was amazed at how zippy this car is, especially for its size. I fell in love with the car right away, and bought it, and now I am a total convert. The car handles like a sportier, … smaller car, but it has all the room in the world, and it's got personality. Win.
Happy So Far

2011 Scion xB 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
So far I am pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride, the solid handling qualities, throttle response and gas mileage. The majority of my driving is open road and I am averaging 31.5 overall. The headroom is great, my only complaint is the offset of the steering wheel.

2011 Scion xB 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
When they announced the xB was done in the U.S., I had to run out and get that 8.0 that I always wanted. I was hoping they'd stick around, and even possibly build an xB I like even better. As it is the RS 8.0 is my fav xB. Got a used one in 2016 that had only 41k miles on it and a 3 month warranty. Really enjoy driving it. It's a lot of fun. Hugs the corners better or as good as my … 2003 miata that I used to have. As far as the wind vortex review. Some cars do this. Simple solution is to crack a rear window some. In my case I just crack open the sun roof. I rated the trans as poor as all it would have taken to greatly improve gas mileage would have been to put an overdrive gear on the thing, like my old Camry used to have. It's a bit bouncy compared to my Lexus ES, but I enjoy it for other reasons.
Update- I put some michelins on it and it drives much smother than the rocks that were on there. Can't say enough about how much I I appreciate the simplicity of the xB over my ES350. Being able to change the transmisson fluid easily is also good. Tuning it up is a breeze. I put 20 k on it since I bought it w/ 35k miles or so. The brake pads still look new.
