Pros: What do you like about 2008 Scion xB?
Performance is great, plus it has the Camry engine so it should last to 200,000 miles with little or no problem.
Exterior is great. people either love it or hate it and most love it.
Interior has much more room than it looks like it would from the outside.
Great sound system.
It's all good!
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Scion xB?
It has a small amount of road noise but not bad.
It is also not as smooth as a ride as a luxury car of course but overall it is good.
2008 Scion xB Review:
I highly recommend the 2008 Scion Xb for people looking for a great used car. My whole family loves it.
The only problem we have had with it was the stereo went out after the warranty was expired but we had a service contract that paid for the stereo.
I recommend you driving one and if you do I suspect you will want to own one. Great car at a great price.

Phatter wheels.
2008 Scion xB Review:
Every car should be boxy. You get so much room inside. I can move boxes around, or haul my equipment around for different engagement.
I wish the factory wheels were little better. It's easily fixed, but costs $$.
I'm lovin' it.

2008 Scion xB Review:
Gas mileage getting better, but my engine check light keeps coming on , as well as my traction control, and stability control lite, dealer can't find the problem, it goes off the following day, but annoying, thinking of trading it in for a Corolla, this way no more problems, have 17 inch. chrome rims with new tires, they look awesome, so if anyone wants 17 chrome wheels with new tires let me know they are for sale.

Traded in a mini van for xB, and am very satisfied with the Scion.
Am an older driver, and retired drivers are missing a super car.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Scion xB?

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Scion xB?
better vision, body integrity and mileage (1.5 or 1.8 liter more than sufficient).
2008 Scion xB Review:
Poor vision a hazard. Rear vision very limiting. Also a bit "rattle prone". Mileage leaves much to desire. Price dead on as is all the safety equipment and superb sound on the standard Pioneer radio (quite working the first week but replaced and still going strong after 10 months.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Scion xB?
The new body style and power. The motor feels "right" and the car doesn't feel small when driving. I've had no problems since May.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Scion xB?
The drivers arm rest is too narrow which feels cheap. When it is raining the car sounds "tinny".
2008 Scion xB Review:
It is a pleasure to drive and I don't mind making the payments. The amount of room for passengers or cargo is huge. Toyota got this one right.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Scion xB?
Plenty of interior room. Great new look, making it feel pretty sporty to drive. Great variety of features, aside from coming standard with many important conveniences.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Scion xB?
The interior plastic is very easily scratched. The shortened windshield makes seeing high traffic lights a little bit of a challenge when stopped. Optional interior roof console interferes with nighttime rearview mirror.
2008 Scion xB Review:
Overall, this is a must drive if you want the feel of a sporty vehicle that isn't a traditional car. Take one for a test drive before deciding against it, because it easily competes with many smaller SUV's, but with a much lower price and better gas mileage.
