  • xB is Xcellent! - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    I had no idea what an xB was until I saw one on a used car lot and test drove it. Finding that a new one was just a bit higher in price, I could not rest until I had one. I just got it and love it.

  • My Popcorn Popper - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    I purchased a used 2004 Scion xB that I found on the Internet and drove it from CT to IN with no problem. I wanted to buy a new car, but this car had $2,000 in accessories and he sold it for $1,000 less than the blue book price. The previous owner tinted the back windows with a darker tint, and I was concerned about seeing other drivers. After almost 3 weeks, I am finally getting used to driving a manual, now it just comes natural. My hubbie calls it a popcorn popper, because it gets good gas mileage! I am totally pleased.

    245,567 MILES and still going! I got this 2006 scion xb when I moved out 70 miles from my work. I ran this car for 5 years driving to work and back. I LOVE IT! Its really fun to drive and made my commute much easier. I got over 300 miles per tank. This is a reliable car.. All I can recall that I have replaced was 5 sets of tires and about 50 oil changes. Will never get rid of this CHAMP!

  • Fun car for Business Use - 2006 Scion XB

    The Scion xB is an exceptional little car with many perks. It is a real eycatcher, headturner, and has great great economy and reliability. I use it as a rolling billboard for our company.

  • my pip squeak - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    As my grand-daughter calls my xB, a pip squeak, it goes good the motor wont snap a bean or neck, but the xB turns heads. Plenty of room for 4 big men and I get, with the modifications Ive done, 41 mpg in town. Ive got a bad back therefore I installed a drivers and passenger racing seats. Plenty of glass with excellent sight lines. I installed p215x60x15 tires because the automatic transmission needs another gear. But my toaster on wheels is GREAT!

  • Best All Around Car Ihave ever had - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    Exceptional headroom and legroom, front and rear. Flexible cargo options with 60% split, folding rear seats plus passenger seat folds flat for those long items. I find the center mounted gauges and speedometer in the xB a definite plus, not obscured by the Steering wheel.. Could use an additional 4"-6" of space behind the rear seats, side airbags, more sound insulation, an upgrade to the economical 1.8L Corolla Engine, the split front bench seat as sold for the Japan market, and a true console. city car. The 2006 xB appeals to both youth and to seniors. Ideal car for service workers as well. The 2008-2011 xBs are too heavy with too big an engine, killing fuel economy.

  • I Love My 06 xB! - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    The first time I saw this car was in the dealership. It was love at first sight. I went home and told my husband about it, but he didnt believe that the car was so spacious. So after one month of waiting he finally decided to go to the dealership with me to take a close look at it, and he also fell in love, and finally got me the car.

  • Review by Mr. Hans - 2006 Scion XB

    The 2006 Scion xB is a great car and a great buy. It is a little short on power, but makes up for this in the wallet when pumping gas!

  • Love It! - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    First Id like to say, I never thought Id buy an import car, but this is one great little vehicle and Im glad I bought it! Its Great on gas and fun / easy to drive. It has so much interior room that you have to see it to believe it (you have to sit in one and youll see for yourself - its amazing on the inside). Took it from NJ to FL and back this summer and it while not a highway rocket, it did better than I expected with three adults plus luggage and A/C on along Route 95. Passing did require some strategic planning, but it gets the job done!

  • Most car for you Money. - 2006 Scion XB
    By -

    I always thought these toasters were so ugly. Well I needed a car and this car at the time you got the most for your money. I can fit a dryer in the back of this thing ( yes a dryer to for your clothes). I do feel less manly driving it but you cant beat the interior room, gas mileage and price. It is a little sluggish and I am hesitant to pull out in from of other cars. I think this would be a great car for a business or someone who just drives in the city. . I think this would be a great car for older people with knee or hip problems because it is so easy to get into and out of or for someone who is getting in and out of the car all day long.
