Used 2008 Scion xB for Sale near Reading, PA
The Scion xB has undergone a significant change for 2008. The distinctively boxy vehicle, from Toyota, has grown in length by a foot, and its uniquely sharp edges have been rounded just a bit, giving it a more contemporary appearance. It still retains its unmistakable front end, however, and that unique profile that makes it easy to spot around town or on the highway.
Power for the 2008 Scion xB is provided by a light, compact 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, while a four-speed sequential automatic transmission is available as an option. Anti-lock brakes are standard, as is electric rack-and-pinion steering.
In keeping with its status as a unique, slightly out-of-the-ordinary vehicle, the 2008 xB comes with a lot of nice, even unexpected features as standard equipment. A first aid kit, for instance, is standard, as is a direct tire pressure monitoring system.
Drivers have a choice of three wheel cover designs. Chrome exhaust tips, projector headlamps, and turn signals mounted on the exterior mirrors are also part of the package.
Also included with the xB are such standard features as air conditioning, power windows, power doorlocks with remote keyless entry, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel column, and a six-speaker AM/FM stereo system with a CD player and iPod connector.
Reviewers have responded well to the xB's makeover, calling it a more stable and more functional vehicle, though they note that the xB still has a high center of gravity, requiring some caution around tight corners at speed. But it also maintains the unique characteristics that made it popular with many young drivers.
4.7 Overall rating
(51 reviews)I got my car a few months ago and I couldnt be happier with it! The only thing is the passenger armrest, there isnt one. My boyfriend steals mine! But i love that it can go up when not in use! It it so much roomier then you would think. Go sit in one! its HUGE!
This model is an evolution of 1st generation version...bigger, heavier, rounder, significantly more powerful (Camry-asset), and a quality build entrusting longevity of Toyotas over-engineering Remarkably versatile: cargo-swallower, comfortable for full-grown persons, not boring in driveabilty or design ( but not pretending to get cudos in either department) Its a unique twist on a modern ride.
Very dependable, but expected to get higher MPGs, especially with manual transmission. Great for everyday commuting, and surprisingly large inside for a compact car. Acceleration is slow, but it's not a sports car. Braking is very good, handling is good for a high center of gravity car. Outstanding headroom and cargo room, and excellent road vision seating position. Fit and finish have been perfect. Maintenance has been relatively inexpensive. Can be fun to drive, but annoying in bumper-to-bumper traffic due to stick shift.
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.
