Scion XB

The boxy xB put the Scion brand on the map a decade ago, but since then, the Toyota-based breadbox has grown long in the tooth. On the plus side, the xB’s spacious interior gives it utility in spades, enhanced by extra bins beneath the rear seats. It’s highly customizable, too. But even though it’s long on space, the xB is short on charm, with a ho-hum 158-hp four-cylinder engine, outdated five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions, dull chassis, and mediocre fuel economy.
