Used 2009 Scion xB for Sale near Houston, TX

Great car, very reliable and roomy. Tons of headroom, smooth.

Easy to park in tight places, great turning radius, yet very spacious inside. Lots of leg room in the front and rear seats. Easy fold down seats for lots of cargo area. 8 cup holders to accommodate everybody. Great overall car.

The outside appearance is deceiving, making one think that this car is small on the inside, but it's not. There is ample leg room inside, which makes it really comfortable to drive, and just enough space to do grocery shopping. It took awhile to adjust having the gauges in the center of the dash instead of directly in front, but it didn't take long for me to accept the position. On the outside, there were a few small problems with the trim coming off, something that was quickly remedied with double stick tape. And there were a few retaining screws that worked loose from the tire wells, nothing that a few turns of a screw driver took care of. Yes, to some, it does look 'boxy', but it eventually grew on me and the design's not bad. Around town and on level ground, the xB drives great, zipping in and out of traffic. We live on the higher elevation, and the car does lose some power climbing up the mountain road. But with the 5-Speed transmission, the power loss was minimal, the lowest gear I needed to down-shift to climb the hill was 4th gear, so it did good getting us home. We purchased this car because we needed something where everyone could sit comfortably (our other vehicle is a Ford Truck), while going to and from work. We were on a very, tight budget, and the xB fitted our budget nicely. Our main concern was cost, and finding this deal was one we couldn't pass over. As far as mpg goes... right now we're getting minimal 25mpg in the city, more than what the window sticker dictated (22). We've yet to estimate highway mpg (never had a chance to cruise the highway yet). If you're on a budget, and don't really care for appearance but want quality and good performance, I'd recommend the Scion xB. I grew to love this car, and you could too.

Great car! Does well all the way around. Wallet friendly on everything from oil changes to tires to gas. Good pick up for a four banger and handles nicely on the road. There's a lot more room inside than people think.

interior room and features for the buck - toyota build quality - silent at 75mph - spot on cruise control. Very, very easy to park in the city...mpg is just ok, but the hp is up by 55 from the previous xB
