used XBs are a bit of a delicacy ( like caviar ) . Overpriced thanks to being out for only 3 years thus making it somewhat of a collectors item . See used CERTIFIED XBs at TOYO dealers that are nearly the same price as when new . Might as well get a new YARIS liftback or a new NISSAN Cube . Talked to few owners of the CUBE and claim to get mileage in the the low 30s' with the 1.8 ltr.. Not much less or near the same mileage as the XBs' 1.5 ltr.. Most of the used XBs we've looked at were abused by its owner(s) . So , do a thorough exam of the engine and rest of car . Some of these XBs' were CERTIFIED or just for regular sale on TOYO / SCION lots . Thus , CERTIFIED doesn't mean squat . 160 point inspection before being sold my . Most just stick it on their lot and hope for the best after sold .

I traded in a 2005 xb Manual on my 2009 yaris liftback and I couldn't be happier. The yaris is more refined has curtain airbags and since I am usually the sole person in the car its plenty big enough for my daily use. I don't miss my xB at all even though it was a great car I say go Yaris. MPG is better as well

If your torn between a XB and a Yaris you may want to consider an XA. I got my 06 XA for 11,000 with 10k miles on it. I would recommend the 06 on the scions they came with side curtain air bags and the steering wheel radio controls standard that year. With the XA be prepared to own the scion nobody knows about,
