Scion xB, tC, xD - Reviews
 
xB

Based on the numbers, the xBis a legitimate economy car. After almost 12,000 miles, the Scionhas achieved 22.7 mpg and garnered maintenance cost of just $24.99, thanks in part to a complimentary first service at 5000 miles.

No wonder SUV owners are trading in their gas-guzzlers. The best part, though, is that the xB doesn't really drive like an economy car. "For the economy car that it is," says Truck Trend Web producer Melissa Spiering, "I like how it felt on the highway-it wasn't rough, it reached a good driving speed without my having to put my foot to the floor, and I didn't have any 'I need more speed, captain' issues when getting around slower vehicles. Plus, it pulled nicely up a 4000-foot elevation change without a struggle, something that proved a problem in the previous generation."

Vehicle

2008 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I bought this car in February 08 when we sold our Xterra. Already own a 06 corolla, and like Toyotas. This car is zippy, good gas mileage (31 city, 33+ hwy) and looks great. Standard power everything, cruise, you name it! The safety features are all standard- side, seat and front air bags. Good thing, too. A guy in a stolen car ran me off the road and into the concrete median in the middle of the hwy going about 65 mph, and I walked away with a sprained wrists and burns/scrapes from the seat belt and airbags. The car didn't make it, but it did it's job. Loved that little car and will miss it, but thankful for the fun it gave me and the life it saved!

Favorite Features

Standard power windows, locks, remote, cruise, CD, side, curtain, front air bags, better than decent gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Road noise was a little loud, black interior showed dirt, dash and doors seemed like they scuffed pretty easily...
