In the garage: 2012 Scion xB

Many of you may well remember how impressed we were with the 2009 Scion xB as solitary of our chief test cars. So much so to facilitate a further has been added to the fleet. We recently chosen up our modern tester and own enjoyed it truly as much as our after everything else Scion. Our modern xB is painted in a very understated Army swing tinny, and like our preceding 2009 is void of options. That being held, you look after comprehend A/C, a 160 watt Pioneer stereo with album player,  iPod and MP3 jacks, standard disc brakes w/ ABS, traction and stability control, power windows and curls, and truly around everything besides you'd expect to discovery standard.

Our car again has the 2.4 liter DOHC 16 valve 4 cylinder to facilitate offers relatively respectable performance next to 158 horse power. This stage, we opted representing the 5 zoom guide transmission. Toyota toll the fuel cheap next to 22 City/28 Highway. So far we own averaged 23.3 MPG, though it's not like we're exactly light on the swap gossip.

 Inside the xB is very capacious. The seats sit next to chair height and are practically comfortable. Since our 2009 xB, I own noticed to facilitate solitary major revolution Scion made was the addition of a traditional focus arm time-out representing the front seat passengers.  The telephone lines, electric fire and A/C controls, and the gear alteration are all justification next to your finger tips. With the  5 zoom guide, this makes representing a very comfortable driving view. Otherwise, the car really has tainted very little. But that's not really a bad issue. The single recommendation to facilitate still carries larger than from the 2009 xB is to own the addition of an arm time-out representing the 60/40 rear split seat. This would nominate representing longer trips more comfortable representing persons riding in the rear seat. Look representing more updates soon!
