My First New Car - 2006 Scion XB
By Candi - May 1 - 2:46 pmI never really went in thinking I would get this car. After I test drove it, I fell in love. Its a nice smooth ride, a nice spacious interior, and what more could you get out of "the box" other than the features that come standard?! The sound is nice, I can use my iPod without having to buy extra connectors, and theres so much room in there I dont know how to use it! My next thing will be taking a road trip with it.

Ranks right up there for MPG - 2006 Scion XB
By ronnieskar - April 15 - 7:36 am2 weeks after I bought my toaster on wheels, I went on a 1450 mile golfing trip with my golfing bud. Considering the weight of both of us, golf bags and the luggage, about 600 lbs, doing between 70 & 80 MPH through the West Virginia mountains, and running between courses, I averaged 34.5 MPG. Around home I get 36-38 MPG. Great vehicle, lots of room inside and fun to drive. Best purchase Ive ever made.

Great Car - 2006 Scion XB
By Lisa - March 11 - 6:56 amThe Scion xB is a great town car for the money. It has room for everyone and split seats for those special shopping days. The interior has great head room.

Ban Boring! Unexpectedly Nice xB!!! - 2006 Scion XB
By Synthetic - March 8 - 3:10 pmFun to drive, very versatile, reliable, economical, and safe. 1. Fun: with decent tires this handles like a mini-BMW. Firm yet smooth ride, with good cornering. Noisey, but the 160 watt stereo takes care of that. 2. Its a minivan & SUV with a cavernous interior. "Ten gallon hat" headroom and expansive leg room front AND rear. Both front seats fold flat creating a double bed (dont tell your teenager), OR fold the rear seats creating a minivan cargo space. 3. Toyota reliability and smart simplification. 4. It gets 30mgh city and 34mpg highway, its True Cost to Own is among the lowest in the world. 5. Dual airbag, ABS, stability control, brake assist, and great visibility.

Scion xB Newbee - 2006 Scion XB
By Happy Mororist - March 7 - 2:36 pmThe xB has a great ride with super visibility. It handles well with very tight turning radious. It is easy to park in city parking slots with good road handling and comfort. It is slightly under power for high end passing on the freeway however up to 50-60 mph it has plenty of power. So far so good!

Love my xB - 2006 Scion XB
By Jim - February 16 - 2:30 amAt first I thought the 11 gallon gas tank would be too small, but I still get over 300 miles per tank. Its comfortable and I love driving it. When the salesman suggested it to me I said I would never buy that car, then I drove it, I am very glad I did.

Toyota Does it Again! - 2006 Scion XB
By runninone - February 11 - 8:16 pmIt is remarkable that a company can continue to build quality machines at three different price levels. Ive owned an Avalon, Camry and now Scion xB. While the xBs engine noise is rather loud at times, it gives the driver a great deal of confidence in handling and relability. For the Eastern winters I purchased four Bridgestone Blizzack snow tires; the traction and snow/wet handling are excellent. My gas mileage is climbing upward as I break the car in I expect the gas savings to be a big plus. One gets the sense that this car is well built for the price. Above all, it will be cost effective and have great utility. I expect the Scion lines to grow rapidly.
