Echo Killer, same car, 200% better - 2005 Scion XB
By dennis Kasprzak - March 5 - 10:36 amWe purchased an echo coupe in 2003 we sold an echo coupe with 4800 miles and lost 3000$ on it, at high speeds handling was shakey a wind gust you were in the next lane. With a test drive with the XB, it was night and day, comfortable supportive seats, excellent handling, better options abs standard traction control standard, vsc standard, my echo had nothing like this yet only cost 1000$ less, We have a second baby on the way and the room benind the seats is wonderful for diperbags and groceries. The only down side is the trunk does not have much space behind the seats, and no armrest, luckily aftermarket armrests are readily available, and no cruise control will make trips a little less fun

my BOXkar - 2005 Scion XB
By Pennie - March 1 - 6:00 amHad my car 3 yrs now and I still love it. Will be driving more now that Im retired. Great gas mileage. Do wish it heated up faster. Took over W VA mountains, made them all, just keep the medal to the pedal. I have allowed three strangers (older individuals) who ask about car to sit in it. They were impressed about the ease of getting in and out. Two I saw another time at store and they told me the did indeed buy a Scion xB, on man traded his cat for one. Told me he laugh every time his fills up his xB and takes money to back. Ill never own another car except for the Scions.

Family gas saver - 2005 Scion XB
By redd - February 15 - 7:26 pmIm the second owner of my xB, but I feel like the first because the owners kept it like new. I traded in my WRX which got around 15 MPG (with my driving). I have no regrets at all. Although the xB is under powered it makes up for it in gas mileage. I can get around 280 miles per tank and I get 32 mpg on average. The interior is really roomy. Im 6 4" and still have about 3 inches of head room and plenty of leg room. I can even sit in the back seat with the front seats moved all the way back. Once I drove to the zoo and fit 5 full grown adults in my xB. The back seat passengers were a tight fit, but it still worked out.

LIMITED EDITION SERIES 1.0 LAVA ORANGE - 2005 Scion XB
By BSU - January 28 - 10:00 amSold my 2003 Honda CR-V EX model to acquire a limited edition Scion. Have been extremely pleased with its performance, mileage, and styling. Being the lava orange color many individuals have asked if its a hybrid, and whom makes the vehicle. Keep in mind this model is based on a subcompact and the ride can be somewhat stiff with harsh road noise coming through-thus would recommend several test drives at dealerships prior to purchase. Strong believer vehicle will hold its value due to reliability and economics of ownership.

Conquers The Urban Sprawl - 2005 Scion XB
By Jim - January 27 - 9:16 amIve owned my xB for a little over a year now, and I still love it as much as when I first drove it off the lot. This is a car that truly rewards its occupants with tons of room for people or things. The tuner market has also embraced this car wholeheartedly, and there are plenty of performance and exterior mods available for the xB. I traded in a gas-guzzling Dodge Dakota R/T for this car, and havent looked back since.

This Car Turns Heads - 2005 Scion XB
By bhuddaboy - January 23 - 10:00 amMy XB is very responsive and is great for city driving. I am able to zip around. I am impressed with the interior design and cavernous space, especially considering it has a narrow wheel base. Nothing compares to the driving experience. You sit alomost as high as an SUV. The reactions of strangers has been the most fun. Reactions range from laughter to surprise to "What the....?" to "Thats not right". Outside of the PT Cruiser, what other vehicle elicited such reactions when it was first introduced to the market?
