General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

The xB appears to be well built and its fit and finish are well above other cars in this class, such as the Chevrolet HHR. The interior is quieter as well. Being a Toyota product, I expect it to be reliable. |

its a Toyota, what more do i need to say |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |

Great experience with Toyota in the past, and great reviews. It is still fairly new (2006.5) but there are none of the annoying little problems many other new cars get. |

Toyota generally makes a solid vehicle. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |

Never had a problem with the vehicle. |
