Scion xB - Kelley Blue Book's Review

Scion xB. When Scion set out to redesign the nearly three-year-old xB, it asked current owners and fans of the brand what they would like to see on the next generation. Their feedback revealed that people wanted the box-like styling to stay, but also wanted the car to be larger, with a more powerful engine and more standard features, such as cruise control. The result is a vehicle that should appeal to both Scion enthusiasts and other potential buyers, all at a reasonable price. Scion's straight-forward "mono spec" basic equipment level continues, encouraging customization and making the car-buying process more personal.

All they didn't tell you is that for drivers over 6 ft. tall, the oversized center console intrudes into the drivers leg area and actually interferes with the operation of the gas pedal. Note that the Scion xD, which is smaller, actually has a smaller better shift console that is not intrusive. Honda has designed the Element and CRV to avoid the problem, as well.

@XMajorasMaskX It does not feel like it will tip. In fact if youre taking a sharp corner such as an on cloverleaf on ramp at about 50 you will feel the understeer prompting you to lift off the gas. There are a number of choices from TRD to improve the handling even further.

@XMajorasMaskX Just test drove it today, in my opinion it was very stable. It does seem like its gonna take some getting used to, but once you do, you'll love the way it rides.
