Reviews of the 2010 Scion xB
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2010 Scion xB features nimble handling (thanks in part to its TRD lowering springs) and a good amount of power for a vehicle this size. It's also larger and more spacious than the competition. If you're looking for a vehicle in which to build an aftermarket car stereo, look no further.
The Bad: Bluetooth hands-free calling feels tacked on and is difficult to use. Searching for media on the Alpine premium receiver is slow and frustrating. Touch screen for navigation is small and poorly located. Audio system is in desperate need of a powered subwoofer.
The Bottom Line: The 2010 xB is a solid performer with good handling and confident acceleration. However, its poorly integrated cabin technology is a bit five-years-ago, lagging behind that of other OEMs and the aftermarket.
Manufacturer: Scion
