  • MY XB - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This is a fun to drive car or whatever you call it. PROS: Easy to park, great gas mileage, runs well over 65-80+ MPH with freeway traffic, excellent visability, great leg and head room front and rear, very comfortable and fun to dirve. The noise leval is acceptable. You will notice some engine noise. CONS: Needs a map light located in the front area of the vechicle. Inside lighting very poor. Needs to blow horn when you use your auto door lock when walking away for car (letting you know it locked). Could use one more cup holder for rear passengers and just a little more power. Overall I would rate this vechicle a 9 or high 8. Buy One You LIKE IT.

I have been nothing but Impressed with this car, Great Gas Mileage,Stylish Look, better yet the amount of Room you have in the car is AWESOME!! Dont get me wrong this is a very Nice/Sporty vehicle but I honestly want a Jaguar.

  • "Attention Getter" - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    People constantly stop to ask me about my xB-- "it is just so cute!!" and "Cool! A box car!" Averages 35 MPG city and 40 MPG highway. Feels like a mid- size car with the pluses of an economy car (easy to paralell park!). Fun and my pre-teen loves the stares he gets from the girls while he blasts the radio on "feel" setting.

  • I know people take glances at my xB... - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I was not going to purchase this vehicle, told the salesperson it was ugly, but I changed my decision within 15 minutes on the showroom floor. The room it had inside, the ergonomics within, the feel of the seats and its comfort. Now with exactlly 3 months of use, it has put a smile on my face with all the attention it has brought. Adding low profile tires and rims have given it even more glare factor! I get about 32 mpg overall with and without using a/c (60% with a/c on)., the stock tires handle curves pretty well. Have the windows tinted, as it will also enhance and cool down the interior temperatures, along with providing UV protection.

  • Great but stiff - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    A lot of car for the money! ABS, stability, traction control, power everything and a great gas milage. Turns heads and very roomy. Couple drawbacks - a rather too stiff suspension, makes a bumpy ride on a bad road. It also has small luggage space unless you fold the rear seats. Otherwise a great car!

    I think that this car is great for a small family on a limited budget. Fun to drive and very spacious interior.

    I am 19 yrs old and I have just bought my new Scion XB and i fell in love with it! It has all the options such as the interior lighting iunthe cupholders and under dash etc. I went on a few roadtrips to California from Illinois and i barely had any power especially going uphill. B esides that the SCion was definetly a great buy for me.
