Scion xB

Subcompact, Mid Level

2008 Scion xB

This funky funmobile showed that it provides more than just a unique style….it provides great value as well.  In a hotly contested segment, the Mini Cooper and the Honda Civic Coupe both showed strengths and powered their way into runner-up position.  However, the xB’s combination of low price and low maintenance cost helped deliver  a Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award to complement its award from 2006.
