  scion xb - 2005 Scion XB
  By scion lover - October 18 - 3:20 am

  Fun and different. Either you love it or hate. I love it, mY teenage boys hate it. I didnt get any of the thrills- -only leather seats. Lots of room for 6ft boys. Could use more interior lighting. There is only one light in the middle of the car and its hard to see in the trunk area at nite.The xb handles very well and gas mileage is great. Price is very good.

  This is our 2nd Scion - 2005 Scion XB
  By Michelle - October 9 - 6:06 pm

  We have a 2004 Scion xB, and we just bought our 2nd. I have the solar yellow limited edition 2.0 and it ROCKS. We are in our 40s so were not the target "audience" for the Scion but we love them. So do our kids. Our son seems to think when he turns 16 next year that one of the Scions is his. NOT! We love the reliability, gas mileage, and interior roominess. The car has great pickup for a compact, and the interior has as much as room - and more leg room in the back seat - as the Jeep Grand Cherokee we just traded in for the new yellow one!

  Scion for my dogs - 2005 Scion XB
  By 2manyK9s - September 23 - 10:00 am

  When I first saw the Scion xB in a magazine they were not available in my area. I was the first one locally to order one. I got mine mostly because its boxy design was perfect for hauling my dogs around - 2 Intermediate sized Vari Kennels will fit side by side in the back with the seats folded down and another will fit sideways behind the front seats. That is unusual in a car this size. Tons of cargo space. I get stopped by people all the time asking about this car.

  Excellent - 2005 Scion XB
  By God Blessed me - September 23 - 10:00 am

  The Scion xB a great vehicle to own its so roomy, love the style. Drives great! Somewhat afraid of how low it is, thinking I might run over an object and damage the side fenders or low front fender. This is my third new car and this was the best of all. Because it was a car of my choice not the salesman based on what I qualified for. But based on what I like. Classy little car, kids love it and people stare at it. Thanks.

  Shiny New Gadget in my life - 2005 Scion XB
  By Gerrabbit - September 23 - 10:00 am

  This car adds a new dimension to my world. I havnt felt this good since my antique Mercedes. When you take to the streets you are admired and interviewed by strangers and believe it or not challanged to drag,even with the sofisticated aura. The roomy interior is best for driving children long distances, carting your computer here and there, styling your honey, profiling every tach unit. Im looking forward to climbing in the back with a blanket and bottle of champagne.

  My New Box - 2005 Scion XB
  By mcp - September 23 - 10:00 am

  OK So the nice old English gentleman next door leaned over the fence and said, "Youll not be offended if I say it looks like a hearse??" My sons twentysomething friends,however, keep asking to try it out. And love it. Handles well, and drives even quieter than I hoped. I really like how open the cabin feels, the headroom, and how high above the road I ride. The fuel economy is great.

  Marketed for Kids, bought by Moms - 2005 Scion XB
  By faith - September 23 - 10:00 am

  I know from reading the reviews that this car/mini-van thingy, was to be marketed to the younger generation, but Moms are digging it too! I am a 30 something Mom of 2 and I LOVE my Scion XB! This is the most fun to drive car I have had since my 89 Mustang GT convertible which by the way needed new tires by the 2nd month. Really, I enjoy the room, the style and the looks and comments I get on the car. I am a "driving advertisment" for the company , I am stopped constantly and asked about it, "What is it?", "Do you like it?" "How much is it?" Love to answer since I love my car. The interior room is awesome, The system "ROCKS"!!! I have it in FEEL mode

  A groovy shoebox - 2005 Scion XB
  By VirtualBug - September 23 - 10:00 am

  We bought this car after my wifes New Beetle turned into rolling lemon. Aside from the great style points this car has, I was able to research the reliabilty of the car that it shares the drive train (engine, transmission and differential) with: the Toyota Echo. Consumer Reports give the Echo very, very good reliability ratings.

  old mans toy - 2005 Scion XB
  By greenwoodchuck - September 23 - 10:00 am

  Wife and I are 67 and both love the car. It has more headroom than my F150, rides as well and gets better economy. I would like to see arm rests between the seats and some way to stop the seat belt latch from banging the door frame when it is released. We just completed a 4000 mile trip with no problems and a lot of pointing and questions from people who had nevewr seen one before.
