"This car is hard to park in parking lots as the view from the driver's seat is blocked ahead by the hood design. The turning radius is very long as well. The shift lever has park, drive, drive 1/2/3/4, and reverse, making shifting errors possible- very possible in one of my cases!"

Lots of little problems that not easy fix..

"The scion service department in Columbus, GA is junk.. I have been in there two times first because when I changed my plates to GA the screw heads broke off and they told me I have to replace my whole back door on my scion xb to have a license plate on the back of my car.. The time I was just in there the hood latch on my car broke and I could not open hood (most time's you can open it through grill) All I asked them was how to open the hood with out the latch on the inside and to have someone show me.. I told them what was wrong with it that the latch did not work.. Needless to say they charged me $75 for looking at it and telling me the latch is broke.. telling me I can't open hood unless I lift car up and go up from bottom.. Said the part alone was going to be $259 (just for part not them put on)... I did not order from them and part number was on paperwork.. I ordered part on line and with shipping I paid $35!! My car runs good and I love it but with all the stupid problems I have with my car I will never deal with the scion dealer ship again!"

"While there may not be as many bells and whistles as fancier cars, this car has everything I need. Comfort was important since I had a previous back injury. Rear passenger room was important with a son that is 6'3". We always have plently of leg and head room. Never feel crowded with 5 in the car. If I am alone I can even get a 6" ladder in the car. Great acceleration for getting out onto a busy street or manuervering on the freeway. Has some really interesting features with the transmission. Mileage around town could be better, average 23 mpg, but that is lower because of the way I drive. Has MP3 plug in in addition to CD player."
