  A Happy Camper! - 2006 Scion XB
  By scout4blue - August 17 - 3:16 am

  This vehicle is by far the best Ive ever owned. Its practical for stowing just about everything (including surprising roominess for back-seat passengers), and yet is really fun to drive (and park!). My fuel economy has averaged between 32 and 35 mpg, depending on my driving patterns.

  Kool Car but cheap for a reason! - 2006 Scion XB
  By xbguy84 - August 10 - 1:13 pm

  I bought this car new. I had to pay extra for cruise and a cheap piece of plastic with a cloth covered piece of plastic called an arm rest. my elbow barely fits on. This did add a rear cup holder which made it better. My windshield suffered a stress crack 6 days after i purchased and i have rode around with a cracked windshield ever since. This is a well known problem but not covered under warranty. Have strange rattle in dash that is annoying. Cruise control is a cheap after market piece of plastic. It does not stay at a constant speed so i never use it. Also is not flushly mounted. Over all this is a cool car with great mpg and room but misses the mark on the small things.

  Old Timers opinion - 2006 Scion XB
  By William Iler - August 5 - 10:00 am

  The XB was designed with the young in mind, but I think they missed it altogether! It is a seniors car! It has excellent visibility and performance, and you can get in and out without scalping yourself or pretzelizing your body! We get 38 MPG, which helps on a retirement income too! and we heartily recommend the XB to all Old timers like us. Im 88 years old.

  Best Thing built since the "WHEEL" - 2006 Scion XB
  By NEHC - July 10 - 4:20 am

  I have a Scion xB, from Toyota. I bought it new and it now has 900 miles on it, but I can see why "You love it, or hate it, no gray area." It is perfect for their wrong target area, 62 year-olds, they aimed 18-40 year-olds. Id buy another in a heart beat if I could. Buy the pre-2008 model they will be instant classics. They changed the style. If I had room and the money Id get one in every color and series. Its Performance would be a 10 if it went 0-60 mph in the 4 second range, just missed :-)

  Awesome Car! - 2006 Scion XB
  By Amber - July 3 - 2:10 am

  I recently became an xB owner two weeks ago - and I absolutely love it. It is nice and roomy. I love the sound system. I have a toddler who is tall and am 58" myself and it gives us plenty of space along with great gas milage. I would recommend this car to anyone. Definetly consider this car, its very awesome!

  My Doodle Bug is GREAT! - 2006 Scion XB
  By john - May 19 - 1:40 pm

  I love the driving experience in town and on the road! I have added a middle arm rest (which should be std.), cruise control (which also should be std.), driving lights (should be std), euro style rear lights (nice addition), undercoating (really reduced the road noise), a cold air intake and cat back free flow exhaust (they really improved the performance and mpg), new wheels and a $600 graphics wrap job to produce a very satisfying and distinctive ride. I love my new little doodle bug. Its low initial cost allowed me to make the additions that I wanted.

  All Boxed Up - 2006 Scion XB
  By EJ - May 11 - 12:06 am

  The Scion xB is a great car. I bought it to replaced my leased 03 Highlander V6 which was also a great vehicle. This box gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive. Even though it is low on power, the 5-speed makes it more interesting to drive. I will add an intake, exhaust, and headers to spice things up. A turbo might come later. Its space is great, audio is great, and it is very inexpensive to maintain. One thing to note is the A/C system seems a little weak for this small car.

  Great ride - 2006 Scion XB
  By john reed - May 1 - 9:36 pm

  I added undercoating, cold air intake, cat back exhaust, driving lights, euro style rear lights, and this vehicle is now quieter, peppier, gets improved mpg, which adds much to a fun to drive machine, in my opinion. It is a little under powered, but I bought it not to be a race car but a good looking, fun to drive and different looking vehicle. I also added graphics on the sides which gave it a dramatically neater look. I have been very pleased and will probably hold onto this one for many years because it is so much fun to drive!

  Amazing Little Box - 2006 Scion XB
  By John - April 10 - 10:06 am

  For the exterior size, the interior is huge. Its large doors and low seating enable easy entry and exit. It has excellant visibility. With the rear seats down, there is all kinds of room for groceries, etc.

  I love "The Box!" - 2006 Scion XB
  By BeachDad - March 29 - 3:16 pm

  Bought this used after owning a Ford Explorer SportTrac. Im a 52 YO dad with a 9-year-old kid and this is the first truly cool/hip vehicle Ive ever owned. I find myself smiling uncontrollably as I bop around town in this thing. Even my kid thinks it is/we are cool. The headroom is amazing The seats are beyond comfortable. I love paying $30 to fill it, rather than $60. I havent had this much fun since the Fiat 124 in the 1970s (also a misunderstood vehicle).
