    My brother has one, TC model? Pretty good on gas. Front side is pretty wide, a little tighter in the back, but the back can easily fold down to create a huge trunk space. Good stereo system. Sun roof in the middle to back section. Good acceleration and braking. I think he said something like its the same engine as a corrola S engine, at a less cost. I believe Scion has their own contracts/financing options. He was originally looking at a Honda Fit but choose the Scion. He’s happy with it.

    I know they are made overseas and not in the great U.S.A. by non union members who are not getting laid off by the 100’s.

    I have to agree, if you do buy one, make sure to put your man card on the shelf for a while

    I have a 2006 XB that I use for commuting. Its at about 70000 miles and zero problems thus far. Car and Driver usually have it in their top 10 every year as one of the most reliable cars.

    Surprisingly, it is very roomy inside and it’s nice having the hatch back and fold down seats for hauling small things as well. But, I only have a fiance and a dog, so I usually dont have much to haul around.

    I’ve driven it around in the winter without a problem, but if I am expecting more that a few flurries, I take the truck so Ive never been through a heavy snow fall in the car.

    So, to summarize, its nice for what I use it for, but if I had kids or didnt have a truck I would definelty want something a little bigger
