Oh man. I could never sacrifice a WRX for a Scion xB. But if you can't afford it that's life, I know how it goes. I still have WRX wet dreams and I've never owned one.
@Xolette i don't mean all toyotas. cause they are practical and nice. and my dream car is a toyota supra. you made a good choice regardless what others say, cause you sound happy about the trade!
man... i guess it's ALL preference! :( my 2011 wrx has almost all the interior features of your xB and i live in LA, so the traffic sucks... haha. the 2011 is really safe too! idk about the gas mileage though :P i guess you made a good choice! let the kids have the subaru's and you get a practical car :) sad to see another owner leave subaru... if i had to leave mine and get a toyota... i'd get super depressed each time i got behind the wheel!
@wrxFTWdey It's all about your lifestyle-- mine works for me plus its great on road trips when I have to haul 2 dogs and my 4 parrots and a boyfriend. :)
It's not even a comparable car. She traded a fun little sports car for a toaster. Obviously the wrx is a better performing car. So people, stop getting so raged!
@Prodriver33 Depends on your p.o.v. If you need less expenses and more room, and not necessarily speed or better handling, than the Scion is better than the WRX. If you want better performance, definitely the WRX is better.
I'm at 30,000 miles for my 2010 Scion XB. I bought it because of the space, practically, and the styling. It's boxy but doesn't look obviously that boxy like the Cube. The "less is more" styling is obvious in the XB. I added Clazzio leather covers ($200 fullset) and tinted the windows to make it more fun car to be in. All my friends can't believe how spacious is it inside. I was able to fit a 70" flat screen boxed in this car.
@Xolette I work at a Toyota dealership, and I can honestly say that it took some time to get used to the xB. But yeah, for me, I started to like it after I sat in one after another. They really are ROOMY! I feel like if you want to break the world record for how many people you can fit in a car, this would be the car to use. Also, the xB has TONS of accessories: JDM, Performance, TRD pack., even luxury accessories lol. But yeah this car is great for long rides and gas saving! Have fun with it!
@crazyjflipkid My first impression was, "It looks like a box" and I just wanted a small hatchback. But once I sat aside, I was sold. :) Thanks for the comment!
Awww. I feel bad for your dad. Let him know that the Scion xB isn't for the new generation but for people who want more room and better MPG. It is good for that. The WRX is an icon of performance, durability, and all weather fun and has as rabid of a youth following as any performance car has. If someone is not going to love and drive the hell out of their WRX they might as well sell it to someone that will appreciate the car right?
Subaru wins everytime, all the time. The greatest cars built on earth. ( yes I'm a bit of a fanboy) Especially if you live where its snows. You would poo your pants if you saw what my subarus have driven through without even breaking a sweat. Listen to your father. I'm a father, I should know, we're nearly always right. 8P Haha okok I'm sorry. I hope you have a great experience with your Scion Xolette.
i agree with him, its a box. a boxey box box car. no style at all just a box. i think the only car thats really made any style points is the nissan juke. most other cars just blend together and the scion is just a box.
@00PEACE00DUDE00 the space got me too. i test drove an 07 eclipse. when i got in the xB, i was like "wow"& the salesman who rode with me, sat in the back and was like, "now my legs can breathe."
@bunnyblue2 Cool :) If you're ever looking for a new car, I highly suggest NOT going to Hanlee's. They were horrible with my car and kept messing things up- like charging random things to me, not keeping an appointment with me that I scheduled, not ordering the accessories I asked for, and then ordering the wrong accessories.. Good thing you went shopping across the street. P:)
I like your enthusiasm & the way you present yourself but you really can't say "Scion XB vs Subaru WRX" because they're 2 totally different classes of cars.
You don't seem like a woman who's out for speed & glory but simply to get from A to B without any obstructions in between. I'm a Subaru guy & I also work on them so I know how costly they can be in those rare moments of failure.
The Scion XB is actually a pretty tough little vehicle so it will withstand quite a bit. Just don't kill it soon!
@DOHCEJ22E1 I agree in that they are different classes of cars-- maybe it'd be better to title it Sports Sedan vs Urban Vehicle, but I think in the description you get the point. I was young and I thought the Subaru would suit me back then, but now that I'm older, I love my new car. Thanks for your comment.
i really dig the new design of the Scion xB, both interior and exterior. the WRX is an awesome car, but definitely not practical for your uses. the xB is a better choice in this case, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. have fun!
and i must say i am impressed with your knowledge most women (without trying to be sexist) are just uninterested in cars, exept color and they think that makes the car. but you go deeper. Nice
and i do like the XB just not as much as a WRX id take a XB over a forrester or tribeca, but dont tell anyone -_-
@MrMcswiggens You sound very passionate about WRXs and are entitled to your opinions of the Scion and Subaru. To answer your questions, I bought my own car, as I am 30 and able to afford things, like a car. I've owned both the Subaru and Scion for over a year and I believe performance-wise, the Subaru beats the Scion. The Scion though is definitely more practical in terms of cost, insurance and has a lot of room. Thank you for your comments.
one thing that TOTALLY disgust me is when peopl say Scions are so much more customizable.... YEA IF YOUR A CAR NOOB AND YOU CANT CUSTOMIZE AFTER YOU BUY THE CAR
GAH
Scion drivers are such NOOBS they dont even know there driving crappy ecoboxes
@Xolette hey I have a question?? my mom wants to trade her 2010 corolla Le for a 2011 scion xb...do you still need to pay monthly? my mom payed her car full. but wants to trade it for the scion...do you still need to pay monthly? or no? Just wondering....
@sex14 If you're trading in a car that's worth, let's say $11,000 for a new car worth $18,000, of course you will have to pay the difference. It's up to you if you want to pay that difference monthly or all at once.
@FrapsYou Definitely not-- I have tons of room. Easier to drive in 5 mph traffic. I'm saving money on gas, insurance, and maintenance. And my stereo is a lot better. The only thing I could miss about my Subaru is the turbo, but I barely used it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well then again she is a women, they dont know anything about cars, just cooking! XD
@MrMcswiggens I'm pretty sure you need less experience to drive a WRX as a computer babysits you with the all wheel traction control. I agree that xB is marketed towards a younger generation-- I like it for the room and the practicality.
@MrMcswiggens Yes. The Subaru's computer ensures that you don't skid-- look it up. It's a safety feature that goes with the AWSD which is why subaru is great for icy areas. I had a 5 speed WRX for 3 years, and i have a 5 speed xB- watch the video. No difference in the skill that takes to drive either. The xB isn't simpler for youth, it's more safe and more customizable. Interior-wise, the WRX is very simple and has a spartan interior in comparison.
@Xolette ok its AWD is no different than any other car just a fancy name
its got a Vicious REAR DIFF which is only a 1.5 LSD Limited Slip (NOT A NO SLIP THAT IS A 2 WAY DIFFERENTIAL) quit quick referencing lil shit to win the argument if u dont know the subject.. you dont know...
and my wheels skid all the time on gravel its not a perfect system and if you want to let youth spool up a turbo liuke its any ol car then go ahead but be prepared to replace your turbo soon and your engine sooner.
Quit touting this Saftey BS Subaru and Toyota are just as safe as each other, and a wrx is INSANLY more likely to be able to avoid an accident with its low weight dist. Better to have the option to avoid than pay to fix :/
The only thing Simple about the WRX is the amount of Padded Bullshit options that weak ass drivers need.
I DO NOT want a sun roof electrical everything cause id rather have a 3028lbs suby than a 3238 lb suby NUFF said
I'm so sorry but I would never trade a WRX for a Scion XB, I own a 2011 WRX and I simply enjoy every second I spend on that car, but if you love your Scion, good for you, not gonna argue, congrats!
@Malikot911 That's funny :) It all depends on your needs. Be prepared for a raise in your insurance prices, raise in gas price, the spartan interior of a WRX compared to a tC, and less cargo space (no seats that fold down). I highly recommend you taking a WRX on a test drive just so you can see the inside, if you haven't yet. But if you have a greater need for speed and performance, a WRX is a great choice!
@Xolette hehe speed.. maybe... but performance is more like it... we have bad winters here.. and i dont want to replace my car with an SUV.. im just not ready for an SUV yet :)... AWD car is what i need.. but I like scions too.. i love my tc.. but should have bought an xb instead because i have 2 dogs and i need the room!
@Malikot911 That's true, the AWD would be good for winter driving-- however, I detested having to replace all 4 of my tires when one went out. I have 2 dogs as well and have plenty of room in my xB to put one in a kennel and one in the backseat with his dog bed! For that reason, I didn't miss being cramped in my WRX on long car trips. Best of luck with what you choose!
You are insane...My mom has an Xb....I have a yellow 03 WRX. I've driven her "car" and it's okay...but it doesn't compare to how a Subie handles, accelerates, sounds....etc...your dad is right, "whatever"
Like the reviews, forget the haters. I am interested in a scion xb myself, did your dealership have options to customize the vehicle and would that include customizing the engine for more power ?
@nateeb Check out the Scion website-- it'll show you the modifications available. I don't remember customizing the engine for more power, but I remember a scion user getting a borshe exhaust put in? I'd check that out as well.
my dad and cousin have the 2006 xb. the boxier looking one. they are perfectly good cars. i have a 2006 tc and have had NO problems with it at all. They are very reliable cars. :)
@Bikerboi Nice to hear that 2006 is so reliable. My 2007 subaru, after having it for 3 years, cost a lot in maintenance so it's good to hear the xB is treating you well :)
@cmreif2 Haha, yah right. The turbo would kick in then you'd drive my car like a mad man. I was sad at first, but there's really nothing I miss about my Subaru. But dad sure misses it though.
face it you didnt get a BETTER car u got a car more tailored to your needs :)
you can make alot of ppl angry saying scoobies (Subarus) are bad cause they are probably the best cars you can get all around (cost to own, mpg, power to weight ratio, saftey ratings)
i would think about subaru again once the XB stops doin it for you.
@MrMcswiggens Better is subjective. What makes a car better depends on your definition of what better would be. I think a "better" car is a car that is tailored to your needs. If your needs are to go fast and be maneuverable, then sure, Subaru is better. If your needs is a car to take you places, carry a lot of luggage, and is inexpensive maintenance-wise, then the Scion beats the Subaru. In no way did I say Subarus bad, but after having my car for year, I prefer the Scion over a WRX.
pah if u ever say a scion is BETTER than a wrx again i WILL shit on you they may LOOK cooler but wrx will outperform ANY scion in production su-XB-alls.
SOOOO say it looks cooler not IS better SIllyy girl.....
@Xolette It's all good, I'm not trying to tell you what to drive. It just seemed like a silly trade in my eyes. They may have the same roll over rating but, I'd be willing to bet I could roll the scion easier, as it more top-heavy. If 93 octane is recommended, I apologize for correcting you. The brochure/spec-book I received from the dealership said nothing of this and 93 isn't even available in my state. Anyway, enjoy your new car and have a nice day :)
@MrMcswiggens Ha ha, yourself... The definition of a sports car is a two doors+two seats. It doesn't matter how fast it is. A Smart Car is a sports car, the CTS-V is not, FOOL.
@awdflat4 a smart car is not a sports car. a sports car is defined by the way it drives to me not by doors or seats although the two door two seat is my favorite lol.
Sometimes, you should listen to your father. Also, I would have to disagree with almost everything you said. I would consider the wrx a far safer vehicle. Although crash test ratings are similar, the wrx has better accident avoidance(acceleration, braking, maneuverability)+ better traction on any surface and is less likely to roll. The wrx has far greater power while achieving about the same gas mileage. I get 27mpg while driving very aggressively. Btw, the sti doesn't require 93oct., only 91.
@awdflat4 I would agree that they hare similar crash test ratings-- but, the WRX can only be deemed safer car depending on the driver. Insurance companies don't see it in the way you described. How many times have you seen a person driving a fast car recklessly? As for rolling over, the 2010 version of my car gets 4 starts on the NHSTA's roll over rating-- in which '07 WRX has the same rating. The 93 octane is recommended for the STI-- but I'll remove that from my description.
Hahahaha. I'm with you Dad. Your fathers' expression...priceless! No but seriously I'm just hating cuz you dumped your subi. I'm on my second one as of now. I had an 03 wrx, now I have an 05 STi. Enjoy the "Breadbox".
you traded a wrx for a cheap scion?? what were you thinking?? a subaru is 10 times more reliable than a scion will ever be.my 2003 wrx has never given me any problems at all 7 years later.that cheap crap will fall apart sooner or later.remember this saying, "you get what you pay for!"
@ironmandingo1 Shut up! Scion is a hell of a lot more reliable than you think! I own one, and I just so happen to love it. Subarus cost too much and they're harder to find parts for if something goes wrong with it! If you wanna trash talk a car, go trash talk a ford or a chevy... Not these beaautiful peices of machinery!
@sergiogustavo13 Scion is a Toyota, not a Honda. I have had both a Scion and Subaru and the Scion's practical and less expensive gas/maintenance/and insurance-wise. Subaru has great horsepower and acceleration, but I don't need it for the driving I do. Until you had both cars to make an accurate judgement, let me know what you think.
@sergiogustavo13 dude , i just sold my boxster s and keep my 09 fit , if ur not using the full potential i think it's better to drive something useful than something u can't really use it , i live 4 miles from work my darn boxster s is hurting my feeling , all power but no use and i work 7 days a week , yeah i know.. =(
Wow, how does it feel to of had the choicest of meat, and now eating frozen food? Why would you trade your wrx?!?! Scion is terrible, it literally can't do anything, it doesn't even have that much better mpg...Scion would be good if they could compete with Ford and Mazda's mpg. But they can't...
Thanks I'll take your word for it being that you've owned a wrx, my wife is pregnate and we could use a car with lots of room & there aren't many cars that offer a manual for that price.... thanks & goodluck with your toaster lol :)
@MrSemi009 Congrats on the pregnancy-- the car definitely has lots of room (with seats folded down especially) and is rated very safe if you were to get in an accident. Good luck with your car search. Btw, you may want to call ahead at a dealership and ask if they have a manual in the color you want. Those seem hard to come by-- I find that dealerships seem to stock up on automatics and have less manuals available.
@MrSemi009 Feels fine. It has a decent amount of power. My boyfriend has a sports car and he has no complaints. We both definitely love the xB-- easy to haul a lot of cargo and great for long car trips.
Oh man. I could never sacrifice a WRX for a Scion xB. But if you can't afford it that's life, I know how it goes. I still have WRX wet dreams and I've never owned one.

WRX=For the Car Lovers and Enthusiasts (more experience and $ is needed) thats why i drive one :)
XB= For the "HIP" generation an everyday car with low cost and very subdued performance
Fit= for when you just need to have a car as cheap as possible

@MrMcswiggens I'm pretty sure you need less experience to drive a WRX as a computer babysits you with the all wheel traction control. I agree that xB is marketed towards a younger generation-- I like it for the room and the practicality.

H/o H/o a computer babysits you? haha really? u dont think thats the LSD or gearing?
TRYY to drive a 5 speed wrx then post it i wanna watch you fail..
and do they even make a manual XB? seeing as how its for the younger cool scene people...(IT HAS TO BE SIMPLE FOR UNEXPERIENCED COCKY YOUTH)
MrMcswiggens 4 months ago
@MrMcswiggens Yes. The Subaru's computer ensures that you don't skid-- look it up. It's a safety feature that goes with the AWSD which is why subaru is great for icy areas. I had a 5 speed WRX for 3 years, and i have a 5 speed xB- watch the video. No difference in the skill that takes to drive either. The xB isn't simpler for youth, it's more safe and more customizable. Interior-wise, the WRX is very simple and has a spartan interior in comparison.
Xolette 4 months ago
@Xolette ok its AWD is no different than any other car just a fancy name
its got a Vicious REAR DIFF which is only a 1.5 LSD Limited Slip (NOT A NO SLIP THAT IS A 2 WAY DIFFERENTIAL) quit quick referencing lil shit to win the argument if u dont know the subject.. you dont know...
and my wheels skid all the time on gravel its not a perfect system and if you want to let youth spool up a turbo liuke its any ol car then go ahead but be prepared to replace your turbo soon and your engine sooner.
MrMcswiggens 4 months ago
Quit touting this Saftey BS Subaru and Toyota are just as safe as each other, and a wrx is INSANLY more likely to be able to avoid an accident with its low weight dist. Better to have the option to avoid than pay to fix :/
The only thing Simple about the WRX is the amount of Padded Bullshit options that weak ass drivers need.

Malikot911 5 months ago
@Malikot911 That's funny :) It all depends on your needs. Be prepared for a raise in your insurance prices, raise in gas price, the spartan interior of a WRX compared to a tC, and less cargo space (no seats that fold down). I highly recommend you taking a WRX on a test drive just so you can see the inside, if you haven't yet. But if you have a greater need for speed and performance, a WRX is a great choice!
Xolette 5 months ago
@Xolette hehe speed.. maybe... but performance is more like it... we have bad winters here.. and i dont want to replace my car with an SUV.. im just not ready for an SUV yet :)... AWD car is what i need.. but I like scions too.. i love my tc.. but should have bought an xb instead because i have 2 dogs and i need the room!
Malikot911 5 months ago
@Malikot911 That's true, the AWD would be good for winter driving-- however, I detested having to replace all 4 of my tires when one went out. I have 2 dogs as well and have plenty of room in my xB to put one in a kennel and one in the backseat with his dog bed! For that reason, I didn't miss being cramped in my WRX on long car trips. Best of luck with what you choose!

face it you didnt get a BETTER car u got a car more tailored to your needs :)
you can make alot of ppl angry saying scoobies (Subarus) are bad cause they are probably the best cars you can get all around (cost to own, mpg, power to weight ratio, saftey ratings)
i would think about subaru again once the XB stops doin it for you.
MrMcswiggens 7 months ago
@MrMcswiggens Better is subjective. What makes a car better depends on your definition of what better would be. I think a "better" car is a car that is tailored to your needs. If your needs are to go fast and be maneuverable, then sure, Subaru is better. If your needs is a car to take you places, carry a lot of luggage, and is inexpensive maintenance-wise, then the Scion beats the Subaru. In no way did I say Subarus bad, but after having my car for year, I prefer the Scion over a WRX.
Xolette 7 months ago
@MrMcswiggens Btw, the WRX and the Scion fare pretty much the same in terms of safety.

pah if u ever say a scion is BETTER than a wrx again i WILL shit on you they may LOOK cooler but wrx will outperform ANY scion in production su-XB-alls.

@Xolette It's all good, I'm not trying to tell you what to drive. It just seemed like a silly trade in my eyes. They may have the same roll over rating but, I'd be willing to bet I could roll the scion easier, as it more top-heavy. If 93 octane is recommended, I apologize for correcting you. The brochure/spec-book I received from the dealership said nothing of this and 93 isn't even available in my state. Anyway, enjoy your new car and have a nice day :)

@awdflat4 a smart car is not a sports car. a sports car is defined by the way it drives to me not by doors or seats although the two door two seat is my favorite lol.
wtfyourafuckindoosh 6 months ago
Sometimes, you should listen to your father. Also, I would have to disagree with almost everything you said. I would consider the wrx a far safer vehicle. Although crash test ratings are similar, the wrx has better accident avoidance(acceleration, braking, maneuverability)+ better traction on any surface and is less likely to roll. The wrx has far greater power while achieving about the same gas mileage. I get 27mpg while driving very aggressively. Btw, the sti doesn't require 93oct., only 91.
awdflat4 7 months ago
@awdflat4 I would agree that they hare similar crash test ratings-- but, the WRX can only be deemed safer car depending on the driver. Insurance companies don't see it in the way you described. How many times have you seen a person driving a fast car recklessly? As for rolling over, the 2010 version of my car gets 4 starts on the NHSTA's roll over rating-- in which '07 WRX has the same rating. The 93 octane is recommended for the STI-- but I'll remove that from my description.
Xolette 7 months ago
@awdflat4 ACTUALLY
the STI is tuned for 93 octane but since no one sells 93 you use 91 and maybe some octane booster if u wanna get all the power out of it

@sergiogustavo13 Scion is a Toyota, not a Honda. I have had both a Scion and Subaru and the Scion's practical and less expensive gas/maintenance/and insurance-wise. Subaru has great horsepower and acceleration, but I don't need it for the driving I do. Until you had both cars to make an accurate judgement, let me know what you think.

@MrSemi009 Congrats on the pregnancy-- the car definitely has lots of room (with seats folded down especially) and is rated very safe if you were to get in an accident. Good luck with your car search. Btw, you may want to call ahead at a dealership and ask if they have a manual in the color you want. Those seem hard to come by-- I find that dealerships seem to stock up on automatics and have less manuals available.
