  Cant Beat it for the Money - 2006 Scion XB
  By DriveBy - February 19 - 3:06 am

  I bought my xB automatic today. After looking at the Honda CR-V, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, and the Toyota Matrix, I decided upon the xB. It is much cheaper than the CR-V, yet has more standard features than any others in the wagon/hatchback class. It has just as much room as many SUVs, but gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive. It feels like a whole other world inside the cabin. Its size is quite deceiving from the outside. Its high roof gives the feel of even more room.

  The Scion xB is a great vehicle. It is incredibly practical and has everything you need and most things you want in a car.

  My Fun Scion - 2006 Scion XB
  By cswalley - February 6 - 3:23 am

  This is the best car I ever had. People stare at the strange box, but it runs great and has lots of space. I have a bad back but the seats offer good support and I dont get out stiff from riding. I have to be careful about the speed. It has lots of get-up-and-go power and easily cruises at 80 to 90 mph. The only thing missing is a cruise control option. The 4 cyl 16 valve dual OHC engine was borrowed from the Toyota Echo and is smooth and quiet. The 160 watt Pioneer stereo is a joy to play.

  My Third Scion - 2006 Scion XB
  By Paul - January 29 - 8:30 pm

  My Release 2.0 Scion xB is the 3rd xB Ive purchased. My xB black box was one of the first California xBs released in June 2003 (people stopped me on the road to look at it). Then I purchased a Hot Lava release 1.0 for my wife. Then I got the yellow one for an upgrade. All total of about 70,000 trouble free xB miles! No other car does what the xB does. It provides lots of space, gets great gas mileage, is extrenely reliable and fun to drive. Its even more fun to see the looks on the face of SUV owners see me fill up with 9.8 gallons.

  Reliable Space Capsule - 2006 Scion XB
  By Smith - December 17 - 7:56 pm

  The Scion xB has great interior space for a tall man and it is as reliable as a Toyota, of course. My only wish is for a bit more sound-deadening of the interior and a bit more comfort (brighter interior dome light, softer seating, etc.) - perhaps there should be a Lexus xB?

  Better than a Prius - 2006 Scion XB
  By Dwayne - November 25 - 1:36 pm

  First, I have read several of the reviews complaining about fuel economy. This car is _not_ a Corvette. If you drive it like some kind of sports car with jackrabit starts and irregular and harsh acceleration you will get trashy fuel mileage. I am enjoying a 37 MPG car with my daily 15 mile trips to and from work. I fully expect that number to reach 40 MPG on the highway. For the cost of the car, expected lifespan, and the potential good mileage this is a strong alternative to the Prius Hybrid. IMHO, I think the Scion xB may prove to be more economal than the Prius given the complexity and exotic parts required for the Prius.

  Go speed racer - 2006 Scion XB
  By Frighteningly good - October 25 - 9:00 am

  My Scion xB is silver with a stick. It is a very slow car, but its so sweet. I cant stand myself. Its love. I have the blue light in the footwells, and the armrest which is essential. This is a very dark car on the inside, so get a light. Im getting 32 MPG combined. Again, this car is extremely slow. The back phony lowrider tail section is falling off because I cracked it on a curb. You need to be careful. Buy this car immediately. It doesnt get any better. The dealer will have nothing to do with haggling. Get them on the interest rate of the loan you will pay. They will go into the other room, their face will turn red, and theyll make the deal - sort of. Good luck, and happy driving.

  Ugly but GREAT - 2006 Scion XB
  By Mark - October 21 - 9:56 pm

  Ok, the 2006 xb is ugly but because of that design the interior space is amazing! My wife averages 31 mpg in daily commuter driving including stop-and-go traffic. The interior feels cheap and the ride is stiff. You sit very high for a small car which improves visibility. Not much power from the 1.5 liter engine but who cares with that gas mileage. Very cheap to purchase new, only costing $15,000 with the optional cruise and armrest. The rear liftgate is the entire height of the car so its a bit awkward to open. The cruise control is awful to use as it drops 3 to 5 mpg before engaging, but once it does it works fine. This is the best car for the money and thats why the resale is so high

  Perfect for a Big Person - 2006 Scion XB
  By Robster - October 21 - 4:50 am

  I just purchased the 2006 xB today and I love it! I am a large man at 64" and 285 lbs and this car is unbelievable. If you are on the bigger side and would like to have a car with great gas mileage, but can never fit in one, this is YOUR CAR! Even in full-size SUVs I sometimes have difficulty with headroom. The xB gives me as much leg room as my Suburban (just sold) and 6 inches of clearance above my head. It drives and handles like a small sports car. The stereo is fantastic, and I got 31.8 MPG on my first tank of gas! Frankly, I would drive it all night if I didnt have things to do tomorrow. Please dont buy before driving this vehicle. The quality and features are astounding.
