2008 Scion xB Reviews

Its roomy, A good working car, comfortable ride, very smooth on turns, and handles beautifully on hills and mountains.  IPod hook up, seats fold down in back for storage room, good camping car as well,  It is very safe, and has all of the dash board equipment in the middle

Its got a lot of room and can have stuff done quick heaply but of course gotta have money. And great for
systems. But stock its boring car slow and odd

Great Gas Mileage, sporty looking, and has alot of cargo room. I can haul just about anything in it. It is inexpensive to Own and to Maintain. I just love when you first step into the car you have so much headroom. You feel like a little kid.

Performance is mildly disappointing, with extremely lack luster accelleration and top speed. Luckily it looks super bomb so no one cares that it isn't a beast off the line. Even better than the outer appearence is the interior which is simply baller. It maintains good gas mileage, and requires minimal upkeep. Finally, this car is a blast to drive as long as you don't mind people staring.

Pros:
Quick, efficient, FUN 4 cylinder- that is very rare that i would say that.
There is enough room in this car for you to move into. I am 6 foot 3 and i can stretch out very nicely, even with my hair spiked i have a ton of headroom.
It isn't as outlandish as the old XB. If you are not a first-gen XB enthusiast, you agree that this is a decent looking car-van-thing.
Blackberry Crush color is gorgeous.
More standard options on this 16,500 dollar car than on any toyota w/ options 21,000 dollars or less. A similarly loaded camry would cost a little more, and it'd be alot less functional.
You could use this car as a family car, or as a tuner car... Scion sells an aftermarket SC setup for it!! OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP!!!
Its a trooper in snow. ABS and VSC kick ass.
Gas milage is alot better than the EPA numbers. 14 gallon tank is sufficient for around 300 miles in stop and go traffic.

Cons:
The dash is made of some plastic carbon fiber looking stuff, it gets dirty veeeery easily.

Backed up into a poll going like 1 foot an hour and put a nasty 2.5 inch crack in my bumper.. i suppose thats a safety feature though

When you tell people you own a XB, they think you're talking about the old square with 4 wheels, and you always have to explain it's different.

No option for leather... I would have liked that.

A few blind spots that take a while to get used to.

The 08 XB is perfect for pretty much anyone.
