Used 2008 Scion xB Base for SaleNationwide

I dislike that it doesn't have four or all wheel drive option. Other than that, this is the most reliable and comfortable car I could imagine. I recommend this vehicle for anyone, including families that need lots of room in the back for children and cargo!

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.

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.

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.

I own an 06 xB which i love to death. I wouldn't trade it for the world because i made it my own by customizing it the way i want it. But i drove an 08 xB this past summer at a couple of scion backstage events and it was just awesome to be able to feel the difference between the two. I was able to test the power and handling in one track and i just couldn't have been happier with both. It was nice to have more power in my hands because the 06 models only have 103 hp. If there was one reason that would keep me from getting an 08 though, it would be because it's not boxy enough. xB's are known for their shape and the 08 model just lost a lot of it in my mind. But overall i just love the 08 and would recommend it to someone thinking about getting a scion.
