Pros: style-looks, interior space, comfort, price-value
Cons: sun visor needs an extender

I test drove the xB about a month ago and new immediately I was going to buy one…and picked up my silver xB last week on 30 Oct 07. I was also considering the Honda Element, but the xB hooked me immediately. I am amazed at how large the xB feels….and one of the first comments people make once they get inside is that they can’t believe how much room it has, and the seats are really comfortable. I’m also amazed at the amount of power coming from the 4 cylinder engine…so that’s been a plus. My next door neighbor asked me what it was because he liked the cool futuristic look….I’ve noticed it’s really a head turner…The one negative that I’ve found so far is that the sun visor is too short when you pull it around to the side windows….it really needs an extender of some type. But that’s really the only negative I’ve found so far….all in all this car is a great value….you get so much for the money! I can’t wait to get it on the highway…when I go visit family in KY over Thanksgiving! If you’re looking for a small utility vehicle that has some head turning style, you can’t go wrong with the 08 xB.

Pros: alot of room. sounds great. great engine. keeps you safe. tells you how much gas you burn.
Cons: there won’t be any cons. not until you want to by another car, but then you want to buy the 2009 XB

This car is great. I had the 07 XB and i was happy with it, then the 08 came out so I just wanted to trade it in. All the scions are cars. I’ve test driven all of them and I want to have each of one (but I can only have one). The XB doesn’t sound bad, you just have to love the way it sounds when your driving it in manual. It sounds so great that you don’t want to go back to automatic. The next great thing is, if you want to go back to automatic, YOU CAN! you choose. The way it moves, sounds (engine and the radio), you can’t say it doesnt have enough room cause I’m 6′-5″ and it has great leg room. The trunk has a light thats different because it’s on the side, which is great because I have alot of things in the back. I go to school, coach basketball, and I have a girlfriend. That means I need a big trunk so I can fit everything there. Basketballs, uniforms, books, backpacks, cones, shoes, duffle bags, presents, and alot more things. The XB is great for the Y generation and everyone who is busy and drives alot. It’s great and you should really see one. You won’t regret it. I’m really happy.
