2008 Scion xB Reviews
| “Great Car” This is the first new car I have ever had and I absolutly love it. It is small like a car but sized like a smaller suv. It gets good on gas and is a great car for our family. I have looked at these cars for a couple years now and was so excited to finally get one. Not to mention my very tall husband can actually fit in the car without hitting his head or knees...lol.
Pros —
Everything
Cons —
Nothing

| “To Not Underestimate The Box.” Reviewing:
2008 Scion xB Base
Performance is greater than expected. Put the car into manual mode and take off the traction control and you got a rocket. The normal person will get about 24/25 in town, and 25/26 highway; less if you speed. The fun factor is a 10/10 if you've been in my vehicle in the past. The apperance it looks smaller in the inside but it easily fits a 6' 8 person with room to spare. The built quality is high up because it is owned by Toyota.
Pros —
Great point A to B car that does not let you down in any situation.
Cons —
My tire life is already halfway gone and im at 15,000. Too soft of a tread. Goodyear Eagles = high performanc tires

| “Great Platform For Modification” Reviewing:
2008 Scion xB Base
My 2nd Scion xB, one of the best cars to modify and retain its value. My last xB was the only car ever that I have owned that actually appreciated in value and I made a little money on it. Very dependable, lots of room even for someone who is 6'3 and 300lbs. Love it
Pros —
Roomy, fun to drive, economical, easy to park, dependable
Cons —
Slow acceleration, cheap plastic parts on the inside

| “Box On Wheels” Reviewing:
2008 Scion xB Base
Although not as boxy as the first generation Scion xB (Or Toyota bB in Japan), the second generation xB (Based on the JDM Corolla Rumion) is larger and more powerful. The 2.4L engine gives the new xB a lot more power over the 1.5L equipped first generation xB, at the expense of slightly worse fuel economy (31 vs 36 MPG), but the extra horsepower is worth it, especially on models equipped with an automatic transmission. Head and foot room is plentiful, even in the back seat.
Pros —
Stereo, interior room, fuel economy
Cons —
Rear cargo area not all that big, but the rear seats fold down for hauling larger items, sun visors don't slide rearward when flipped to the side, don't block the sun very well from the side

| “Fantastic Price/value. Well Built With All You Would Expect And More.” Reviewing:
2008 Scion xB Base
It is no Lexux but it is a Toyota. All the safety features you may want. Good power/economy ratio. It is not a 4.3 V8 but a 2.4 4L. It would be nice if it had a 5 or 6 spd automatic but the 4 auto stick is adequate. For the price you can't beat it and did I say it is a Toyota.
Pros —
Air bags all around, safety beams on the doors, anti lock breaks, 2.4 liter engine, auto stick, nice radio which accepts wma files. Uses unleaded fuel.
Cons —
Noisy cabin at cruising speeds.

| “Sweet Car.” looks small but is roomy inside. great car for a sound system.
Pros —
allout great car
Cons —
needs a little more power
