  Scion xB - Hot Box - 2005 Scion XB
  By albertowpb - May 14 - 11:46 pm

  I love the Scion xB. Its kind of a downgrade from my previous car, but I cant get enough of it. I have spent in upgrades what I spent on the car and Im nowhere near done. I have never loved another car this much!

  My Lil H2 - 2005 Scion XB
  By SB in TX - May 8 - 9:13 pm

  Being a big guy 61 and 275lbs I never thought I would enjoy this car. I couldnt have been more wrong. I drive 75 miles to and from work everyday and this car makes that time enjoyable. I cant wait to start tricking it out. I would recommend this car to anyone that is looking to save on money and gas.

  Great Big Little Car - 2005 Scion XB
  By roger - April 23 - 5:33 am

  My commute is about 100 miles a day. I love this little bugger. It handles well in all types of weather. The fuel economy is excellent. Matter of fact it just does what it is supposed to do day after day. Dont overlook the standard electronic stability control. While not sexy it just might save your life. My experience has led me to buy a second xB.

  I LOVE MY LITTLE SCION XB - 2005 Scion XB
  By lightgoddess - April 18 - 12:36 am

  I love driving my 2005 White ScionXB. I love the way people look at my car and I can see them saying "What is that?" I love the uniqueness and originality of the Scion XB. I am unique and original and I am happy to have a car that represents me. The Scion XB is a great cross between a car and an SUV. Its small yet, you sit high so you feel like youre driving an SUV, youre not down on the ground. THE XB is so easy to get in and out of for you and your passengers. The XB has a great amount of head and leg room--it is NOT cramped at all. The SCION XB is a very affordable, fun and unique driving experience!!

  Dont buy it for the gas mileage!!! - 2005 Scion XB
  By mrchet - April 17 - 10:00 am

  Pros. It turns a lot of heads. It has great interior room especially in the back seats. Hold 4 adults with easy, but not their luggage. Cons. Underpowered, poor mileage. 25mpg low with a high of 28mpg and thats combined. Rougher ride than it needs to be. Softer springs and stiffer sway bars would help. Short wheelbase makes it choppy going over freeway slabs. Steering wheel position is left of center and too low. It really needs a center arm rest. Transmits road noise into the cabin easily. Dynamat in all the doors helped. Bottom Line: I wouldnt buy one again!

  Toyota got it wrong - 2005 Scion XB
  By Yellow Peril - March 30 - 11:36 pm

  I think Toyota may have focused on the wrong market. I see a few kids driving, but a lot more older adults. It is easy to get in and out of, loads of carrying capacity with the rear seats folded down. Room for four ADULT sized people, my two teenagers (six foot plus) sit in the rear seats with the front seats all the way back and still have 6 inches of knee room left. Even with all of us in and luggage for a weekend, still gets 30-35 mpg. Only drawback is you have to work the transmission to keep the rpm at 3500+ so you can keep the speed up on the hills. You can cruise at 85 mph with 4 adults quite comfortably. And yes, it will hit 100 mph and still feels rock solid.

  Blue Fire 05 - 2005 Scion XB
  By bluefire05 - March 21 - 4:50 am

  The Scion xB is an awesome car. The only thing I would complain about is it doesnt have much HP stock. If you buy some engine mods which are pretty cheap it adds quite a bit more HP. Other than that I would say its awesome! The styling inside and out is awesome. The best thing though is the room inside. I can have my seat back all the way and my dad whos 6 feet tall can sit behind me and hes not cramped. Hes got tons of room! No one can belive how much room it has and how comfy it is. With the back seats laying down flat you have tons of cargo room. Although with them up there isnt much cargo space. I personally rate this car 9.5/10

  Fun for the Gallon - 2005 Scion XB
  By Roxys Dream Weaver - March 14 - 12:26 pm

  Gas prices going higher? (I dont care) This little shoe box hates Gas Stations. Even as an automatic and with a caffeine rush attitude driving technique. Your gas tank will stay full, (It just wont go down to "E") Roominess? My gosh you feel like youre sitting in your living room airy high interior all around huge seats comfy. Sound? Well lets put it this way I added the Bazooka Subwoofer and its like surround sound system in your home. It drives like a cream puff awesome suspension and handling and breaking becaue it also comes with ABS standard. You can move your whole apartment in almost one trip with your back seats flat down. I have nothing but good things to say about my Scion xB...
