This Year's Model Updates:

In an effort to get buyers under 30 into its dealerships, Toyota launches an all-new division called Scion. The brand will eventually grow to three models, but for now two are offered, one of these a boxy, attention-getting vehicle called the xB. Scion will use a no-haggle sales strategy and give buyers ample opportunity to customize their xBs, drawing upon a list of over three dozen dealer-installed options.

Pros:
  • Massive interior for its size, unusual mini-truck styling, long list of standard equipment, comes with stability control, handles well for a budget-priced vehicle.
Cons:

  • My toy Scion - 2004 Scion XB

    Been driving the XB Scion for 10 months. So much fun to drive, but little disappointed in gas mileage. I drive to work/return through 12 miles of mountains and this takes a toll on the economy, but wouldnt trade it for any other. Im music/dance teacher and carries all my books, equipment, sound system, etc. Im tall and I have no want for extra leg room or height, both front and back seats.

  • BEST CAR IVE OWNED - 2004 Scion XB
    By -

    FUN CAR, SPORTY, QUICK, VERY ROOMY. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM. THE PRICE CANT BE BEAT. I BOUGHT IT WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE. IT CAME WITH THE 18" WHEELS AND THE COLD AIR INTAKE. I OWN A DENALI, BMW AND A BENZ,AND IF I HAD TO KEEP ONE, IT WOULD BE THE SCION...

    My xBs only downside is the choppy ride. I love the fact that all four tall adults can ride with their hats on and not be cramped. With the rear seats folded down, trips to Costco or the nursery are easier than in any sedan. The noise level at high speeds is about the same as in my new Odyssey.

    Forget the xBs exterior styling, you wont see it inside the car. In fact, its box shape makes it a roomy car. Buy one and youll think youre stealing from Toyota. Ive brought home a 27" TV with its package. I doubt you can pull that one off in a Camry. Its so roomy itll have people fighting over the rear seats. The ABS help me saved a little kid within a week of delivery. When the curve says 25, you can throw it in there at 35 and edge it up to 45. The steering is light but NOT numb like many other Toyota products. I only wish it had an extra gear (more on that). If the Miata is a solid 10 in fun to drive and the Celica is a 9, the xB is a respectible 8. But those are only toy cars.

  • 211,083 miles and STILL RELIABLE !!! - 2004 Scion XB

    This is an update on my previous review titled. 140K Upright Go-Kart Written by George on 06/14/2008. This lilcar with lots of interior room is still super reliable. I have replaced normal wear items like tires, power steering/water pump belt and front brake pads. I change the oil and oil filter every 5k, air filter every 6mo. and transmission gear oil every year. I suck out the power steering and brake fluid with a turkey baster and refill every year. The xB is pretty good in the snow with all season tires, however, its super stable and near impossible to get stuck with snow tires.

  • Scion owner and fan - 2004 Scion XB

    The drive is smooth and with very little outside noise. Price is reasonable and we loved the uniqueness of the car. Gas mileage is good, averages 23 miles per gallon combined city and highway.The seating is comfortable and we loved the placement of the gauges. The leg room and the head room is great for anyone.I have never owned a car that got as much attention as this has. I am repeatedly being stopped and asked what kind of car I have,who makes it,and most of the time they are leaning in to get a better look.

    What a great fun car. Traded the mini- van for something I can feel better about the gas mileage in. More than enough passenger room front and rear for 64" bodies. Get stopped everywhere with questions--WHAT IS IT?

  • A tale of 2 Scions - 2004 Scion XB
    By -

    I have been waiting for someone to build a car that has more interior space then a camry yet costs less then a corrola.The scion xb is that car.I purchased one equiped with an automatic transmission for my wife.I was so impressed with this little cube car I just puchased a 5 speed for myself.The xb has a unique combination of virtues. No other vehical at this price point offers suv like interior volume, econocar fuel mileage, toyota reliability and a sport tuned suspension.
