Thinking of buying the 2012 Scion xB?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Scion xB; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2012 Scion xB for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $151.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Room inside
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA measures its luggage space at 623 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Drive the xB on your commute before you commit to it. If the xB is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
Let us know
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
