grocgetr9 how much did you sell it for? Mileage at time of sale? I just bought this color 2011 with 117k mi. Did you have any mechanical problems with yours?
I have one! I get tailgated all the time. Love this for its practicality. Its not fast but zippy! Love this toaster, i have 177k on it and still running strong.
I really wanted the 2011 xb release series (shown here) but I'm glad we waited. We now have the 2012 XB release series and couldn't be happier. I fell in love with the color (hot lava), the fact that the emblems light up and the room.
I would like a more upscale version of this car.The current camry 6 speed and 2.5L engine woud be nice.Would like better seats, better insulation from noise.better seats, better sound.
That color is beautiful. I don't get why most cars are all painted in such dull and drab colors...why do people want such plainness??? My first car was electric blue, and I absolutely love BMW's Laguna Seca Blue.
My sister went from a '99 RAV4 to one of these. I know why the RAV4 was geared so short (small engine, 4WD, 3,000 lb.) but no clue as to why the Scion is. It could use a 6th gear on the freeway for sure, for more MPG and less engine wear.
I really wanted a murasaki cuz what's better than rolling around in a purple car with TRD rims? Maybe one day I can buy a Camry v6 SE and paint it murasaki...love the word murasaki.
I just traded my 05 scion tc in for a 2012 scion xB white with 19" trd wheels and love it. I think the appeal is that its a love it or hate if for people. I needed room and these things are HUGE on the inside and ride smooth even with 19s :D
i love mine too keeping it forever best car money can buy .. how much Hp is urs ...? i want a little more power without turbos i wanna keep it N/A but im unsure on what modds i need if you have any info plz let me know thanks.
If you dont like the xb why even watch the video? Wth your oppinions dont mean squat because im sure you type in the car you like and ppl hate to, point is you dont drive it so dont comment it and if you dont like it den dont buy it common sense
Says the guy that eventually did get a 2015 Manual. I test drove a manual and was Sold- its actually efficient AND Quick. Also these hold up a long time. I’m getting 28 to 32 city and over 34 highway. Bought with 30k in March of 2019. Plan to keep forever.
@@djkenny1202 Yeah, i have had two so far (2005&2006) and I'm looking to get a third! Scared of getting poor fuel efficiency compared to my old ones but really want to step up the ride quality and interior build! Might even get a release series 8 for $3200 (with 170K miles but hey they go forever!)
I really like it. I am really getting more like 22-25 average city. Not Great. The freeway mileage is easier to get decent 30’s mpg if you keep it below 70. Plenty of zip. It had much better crash test scores (side impact especially) than XB 1’s. That is why I decided to look into one. Love the space inside . Rear quarter vision isn’t very good, blind spots on C pillars are my biggest gripe. Love the center gauges, I think all cars should have them placed there. Convinced it will be a future collectable.
they're ugly but they're reliable i had one of these then went to an fj cruiser then to a ford f150 and all the praise the american cars are getting is because their "quality" surpasses toyota, meaning the luxurious features on the interior....but the drivetrain is still a dog .....im just happy I'm leasing
he doesnt even know what hes talking about !! 8 speakers?? there is only 6 2 in rear doors 2 in the front doors and the 2 little tweaters 8???? how come he knows so much and doesn even how many speakers this car has
The dashboard is one of the most attractive ive ever seen in an economy car
Scion should have made the sunroof standard on the xb. That's the only thing that would have made it more attractive
Love the colour. Would drive one of these if I could find one exactly this trim level & this colour.
Friendly0Dan , I have one! Same color and year! And it’s for sale!

I find it weird that I had a Toyota Solara with the exact same engine, and it had a 5-Speed Auto. Must have been something with the packaging.
Good review! I definitely like it better than the 1st generation!
Me too

I'm liking the 160 hp imagine how many Mazda 3 etc you can take over on the highway ...my "you just got passed by a toaster"sticker would be well used
I drive a 2010 Mazda 3💀😂 it's not passing me.
watching in 2021
I love your car reviews!! Your the best car reviewer ever!!! I love you!!
i almost got one of these for graduation but i got kicked out instead. i guess I'll be an old man when i get one lol
You could have slept in the car! lol.
Scion has created new smile xB
it looks pretty good to me
Just got an xB. I’m about to swap in a new cold air intake, and Throw a full turbo under the hood
The 2008 is really fun had one was a blast and great mpg
so its been more than a month since you reviewed the last car and you came back with this? good job brian
My daily since day 1 (may 2011)
I love my scion!!!!!!
love the color
the guy from blues clues must drive this
2011 Scion xB
This is a great reliable car but wish they kept the smaller engine from the old xb. you could get up to 35mpg highway.
This is considered a compact/ crossover SUV per Toyota. The first gen xB is considered a hatchback.
mo aljo not an SUV. It’s considered hatchback and a wagon wannabe
@@Nanaehhco45 this is still subcompact
Interesting opinion. I think Toyotas are looking great these days (Avalon, Sienna). I almost bought one of these xBs.
exactly...here in 2012 toyotas actually do look a bit more agressive (camry and yaris)
I really wanted a murasaki cuz what's better than rolling around in a purple car with TRD rims? Maybe one day I can buy a Camry v6 SE and paint it murasaki...love the word murasaki.
It's a nice car for young people
xxHOTPOCKETSxx u old
Thank god for my ‘12 xb they made Bluetooth standard! Its a much better system than that add on option
Aww woah!! I wish mine had a sun roof!! I have the 2014, 10.0 release series 🤩
I just traded my 05 scion tc in for a 2012 scion xB white with 19" trd wheels and love it. I think the appeal is that its a love it or hate if for people. I needed room and these things are HUGE on the inside and ride smooth even with 19s :D
@FlameThrash900 That makes sense... I like this car though... It's ehh.... "Cute" and funny looking. XD It turns heads depending on the color. :D
The carbon fiber around the windows is not standard
i love mine too keeping it forever best car money can buy .. how much Hp is urs ...? i want a little more power without turbos i wanna keep it N/A but im unsure on what modds i need if you have any info plz let me know thanks.
U should review a Dodge charger! please!!
you know you are hardcore youtube viewer when you watch a vid with less than 300 views
@FlameThrash900 How is this worse than a Prius or a Smart Fortwo?
I own this.
Does he ever talk about anything but the stereo in his reviews?
Yes
@FlameThrash900 Looks more streamlined but is slower, same for the Smart, and the Smart is a TON less safe. You still prefer those?
I'd just fit a supercharger to it if I own one.
I liked the boxy look better :(
@link3ed Nah, its just what happens when something tries to be more flashy than Flash itself ;)

This guys sarcasm gets old after a minute or 2…
I'm piss I didn't get this se blue
good morning
@andeleputo89 Decorative carbon fiber, like this, are cheap.
I liked the first XB models. They got too bloated and the fuel efficiency fell too much following models.

@@djkenny1202 I'll go test drive one asap! thanks for the heads up!
Absolutely! You are Welcome. Lets me know what you think or if you Get one.
240p FTW!!!!!
The fuel economy should be much better on this car. Toyota got it almost all wrong with the redesign on this car. No wonder they stopped making it.
I get over 30 mpg in my manual one
a camry in drag...
haha that was in 2011
I helped design that bluetooth system he trashes.

There reliable
@obscuresword Oh... :p
