Used 2014 Scion xB Wagon Consumer Reviews
2018 UPDATE - Reliable wheels.
I bought this XB because I needed a dog friendly car. I also wanted a reliable car. Having driven a couple of domestic brands that were always in and out of the shop for recalls that never were completed (sorry, we're waiting for parts), I finally decided to snag a Scion for a good deal. The car is very spacious. Visibility is so-so thanks to thick pillars forward and back. I picked the XB over a Kia Soul because the car felt more spacious and was definitely peppier. Since my last review, the Nav/Entertainment system has had a few glitches where you can't always advance to the next song (you have to restart the car for this glitch to reset.) Voice recognition for nav is temperamental (also doesn't seem to have a way to update the maps). So far impeccable mechanical reliability with regular oil/filter changes, but I've been thinking about getting a 4WD vehicle for the snowy weather. The interior continues my love/hate relationship. The car is very roomy, but the interior is dark and the C pillars are too thick. For anyone who wants Toyota quality (sadly, Scion is no more, merged back into mothership Toyota) and a unique and spacious vehicle (I still rate the car better than a Kia Soul or Nissan Cube and much more solid feeling than a tinny Honda Element), the Scion XB is a great used car.

1 month after purchase and very happy
I had a Honda Element and loved it... But I wanted a new car and after a lot of research I kept coming back to the xB. Considering the price, I feel I got what I paid for and I really enjoy it so far. But it's got a lot of pep and and I love the spacey interior. The dealer threw in the spoiler and I am glad they did as it gives it a sharper look. I'm a big guy and I feel very comfortable as it has a good amount of headroom. If you are looking to stay in the low $20K range with the premium options.. this is a good pick in my opinion.

Scion fever
I love this car and having said that, visibility is not so great. I knew that going in from the reviews but I bought it anyway. I would buy it again tomorrow

Sweet Little Ride
Love this xB. The Release Series 10 in white has a beautiful finish with an undertone of pink and green that looks great in the sunlight. The back side of the front seats do not have a holder for magazines, books, etc. A sunroof would be nice but not available. Cheap hubcaps instead of alloy wheels. Good stereo system. Glove compartment does not lock. Plenty of interior room for hauling even medium size furniture. Getting 24 mpg around town and 32 mpg highway. The 4-speed automatic is fine but wish it had an overdrive. Overall great car for the price.
