#141 of 149 Is Scion xB big enough? by david2 Dec 25, 2007 (4:17 pm)
Hi all, Hope this is the right place to ask the question. I wonder if xB's rear seats are big enough for 2 adults (5'1~5'3, 95~105lb) + 1 car seat. Any owner can share some experiences with me? Many thanks!

That would work in mine. The new one is just bigger.   I actually saw three baby seats in the back of an 06 one time. Replies to this message: david2 (Jan 05, 2008 6:46 am)

Replying to: scie (Jan 23, 2007 1:55 pm) Wondering if you ever got this resolved. I just purchased a used 06 XA still under warranty and they replaced the door gasket with no improvement. Mine puddles on the door sill as does yours and the other person that posted. Frustrating.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Aug 07, 2005 8:29 pm) What if you bought your 09 Scion xB used, it's 1st oil change was 5,700 miles. Incidentally, Toyota requires you to change it 5,000 m. I know the theory about changing it 1,000 but I;m stuck in this situation. Does'nt the filter trap those shavings/ gunk from going back to the metals that wear against each other? Do you have any opinion about how the 2.4 Camry engine should last given adequate maintenance?Thank you in advance.
#146 of 149 Brake pads ay 15K?? by bearguroo Jul 11, 2009 (9:17 am)
I just took my 09 xD in for its 15K maintenance expecting the standard stuff. They came back and told me that my front brake pads were gone and needed to be replaced. They showed me the pads and yes indeed the pads needed replacement. This has really thrown me for a loop, having to have front brakes done at 15K seems ridiculous. I drive a lot for my job as a tech and yes about half of that is during heavy traffic. I just can't see that causing that much wear. This is a Scion dealer with a decent reputation that is telling me this. Are the pads that come on the car just not good quality???

people differ on oil change frequency but one should at least follow their car's manufacturer's maintenance schedules.   Just look at how you drive and judge if it's in dusty conditions or under other "severe" driving conditions. I get my car's oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles.   The filter will trap metal shavings but people differ on oil change frequency. If in doubt get a L-O-F done every 3,000 miles. I still like that old standard frequency schedule.

Replying to: albs (Jan 31, 2007 9:53 am) I have had this happen three times as well. When I talked to Scion, they acted as if they had never heard of such a thing. I am glad to hear it isn't just me. The toyota dealer locally told me that the armrest wasn't intended to support weight (!?), implying it was my fault.
#149 of 149 Scion xA History by therealhboggs Sep 03, 2009 (7:18 am)
I have a 2006 xA with 94,000 miles. For the first 15k, I utilized the 3 free changes by the dealer. Since then I have used the best Amsoil full synthetic and their filter and changed every 25K. Not one drop of oil has been consumed to date. One minor repair (around$200) covered by extended warranty. 34 mpg overall since purchase (I have complete records). Not too bad overall.
