We drove a Scion xB 40,000 miles over 16 months, and it proved to be a reliable errand hopper. But at heart, it’s a car that not surprisingly errs on the side of economy and practicality. The xB only ever really hauls when it’s loaded with bags of cedar mulch.
To add a dollop of zest, we fitted the xB with a set ofTRD lowering springs ($399) matched to a set ofTRD performance shocks ($500). They reduced ride height by one inch in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear, lowering the machine’s center of gravity. The suspension package eliminated a lot of unwanted body motion, and turn-in went from ho-hum to right-now crisp. At all speeds, the car tracked better and felt marginally less susceptible to wandering in crosswinds.
