Great car
Recently purchased a 2014 Army Rock colored xB and couldn't be happier with it. Most of the things in the Edmunds review ring pretty true from my experience. It's been great for me as runabout and daily driver, and I've been pretty easily beating the combined MPG of 24 (something Edmunds also reported). Wind and road noise are present, but it doesn't impede conversation in my experience (audiophiles will definitely want to add some additional deadening to the doors and floor pan though). As expected of a box, it hauls a ton with ease, and fits my 6'3" frame with no problems in the front or back seat. 4 speed auto works well and shifts very smoothly, and I never feel wanting for power.
Good short distance transportation
It hurts our backs to travel more than two hours in this vehicle. The seats are not that comfortable and the road vibration is not good. On the other hand, it turns on a dime and is easy to park. Gas mileage is just okay. Cargo room is good. Head room is great for a tall person. Leg room is great.

CUTEST "BOX" YOU'LL EVER DRIVE! (2015 xB)
This is my second one! After selling my 2011 xB in 2015, I missed it very much. Bought a Mazda CX-5 (nice car but not a fit for me) :) So------------sold it and found a 2015 xB which I purchased in Feb. 2017. Very happy with my "little box" (and so is my dog). :)

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.
