How will the Scion Xb do in Seattle, Washington?

[Bdd]

I want one and I know that they don't get the best horse-power. So since Seattle is a bunch of hills how will it do?? Will I get less gas mileage??

If your driving mostly hills you won't get good mileage in most cars.

Having said that the new xB is quite powerful considering that it's a 4 cylinder. It's got a 2.4 liter with 158 hp. 2.4 liters is pretty big for a 4 cylinder. It's got good pick-up 0-60 is in the mid 8 second range which is good for its class. The only way it would feel sluggish and underpowered would be if you had 5 people in the car, a loaded trunk and your going up a hill, but thats true of any 4 cylinder car. Gas mileage is ok for it's class you'll probably average mid to high 20's.
