It isnt on par with luxury mini vans, and it isnt trying to be. This is the "Cool xB model, later ones, when style changed, look like squashed mini vans. It drives and turns tightly, nimble, and has tons of cargo space. I fit 5 bales of hay in the back, and had room for one more, if he had it to sell. MP3 aux input is handy, right between front seats. Seats themselves, other than lack of arm rest, are decent. Not sure I want a 5 hour ride in this, but all around Atlanta, short to modest trips, I like it. The A/C works well, could stand a little better vents or more of them, as it does have a lot of space to cool. Not a lot of extra features, but it is still decently appointed for the price. The reliability of these cars is extraordinary. Solid front disc brakes do a good job, drum brakes in rear, well, this car doesnt weigh all that much, so you dont really notice any difference. Car almost parks itself, gets into tight spaces, and is a fun out in the boonies ( twisty backroads for you city folk :-). Overall... it will haul 4 people, as long people in back arent 6 footers. Back seats fold down to give you large enough space to haul at least 5 square bales of hay ( i probably could of fit 6 ). I wouldnt drive this across country as seats are OK, but not long hours ok. Road noise is nominal, again, in this price range, its relative. I have owned a nice Chrysler Town and Country minivan, THIS isnt that, and isnt trying to be. Need a reliable car for college student with tons of space ? or kid moving out of the house, or YOU just want either a second car for shopping, or, you are on a budget, have a family of 4, and need space for groceries, this will still work. We have put over 30k on this car. It is now up for standard 95k service- timing chain, front end alignment ( just needs one not a 95k service ) tranny filter/fluid, tune up- about $350 total.. that is not that much actually. I spent over $750 on a timing belt on my Olds Cutlass back in 2001.. I would absolutely recommend this as a an extra car, kids first time car, or just in need of an " all around do almost everything but not break our budget " car.

This car gets great gas mileage, it is very reliable, and has plenty of space. Repairs are very cheap and have rarely ever been necessary. Interior is very comfortable. The handle is very good and driving the vehicle is fun.

I have loved this car from day 1. I just wish it was big enough to grow with my family. I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Being a dark car in SC it can get hot inside but the AC will cool it down quickly.

Great for short people. Easy to find in a busy parking lot. Has a great resale value. fairly cheap. Great first car. Will last for a long time. A lot of storage space. Great Radio. Has an Aux. outlet. Easy light blub changing.

Amazing cars! and cute too! I got this on the very first day in 07 and loved it ever since! very easy car to do mods too so if your bulding a car its a great one to start on espically with a wide varity of parts. also it's amazing on gas millage avaraging me city around 36-38 and high ways 37-40mpg the car is amazing to drive too huge windscreen and many windows around it makes it very easy to see around and it handles like a dream with a tight enough turn radious to make a u turn on a two lane road. over all I love the Toyota bB or as there known in the states Scion xB's
