  • Its CUTE. - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    It looks like it wants to be a Peterbilt when it grows up. Or maybe a hearse. But its comfortable, easy to drive, parks anywhere, and I can get my 62" son and two friends in the backseat. Consistently gets 30+mpg ... city, highway, stuck on the expressway...whatever.

    I couldnt be more pleased with my car, it was most everything I was looking for. Im 66", and this car had the leg room and head room I was looking for, the low cost, good gas mileage, extended warrenty, and that "turns heads" factor that Ive come to enjoy. I was looking for a simple comfortable car that I could drive for many years and still haul some friends around in, and this car fits the bill perfectly. Ive had the car a short while, but Im betting on toyotas typical high quality and low frequency of repairs. As long as this car doesnt break down often I will be very pleased for years to come.

    This vehicle is everything I expected it to be. Consumer Reports says it has a very uncomfortable ride and has a large turning circle. These are completely false. I have no problems. I recommend the Scion line to everyone. They are affordable, great on mileage, and they are Toyotas!

    Car has no gray areas. People either love it, or hate it. For the dollar, it is one of the best cars I have ever purchased/.;

    Overall with the price of gas spiking almost daily, this little car gives a lot for the little gas it burns. It has a roomy interior and though its mileage doesnt quite stack up to its sticker, it is much better than most vehichles out there.

  • Cant Go Wrong - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This funny-shaped, tiny-motored car is the best deal on the planet! It is incredibly roomy inside and gets awesome gas mileage (I average about 39mpg with a 5-speed manual). In addition, you can get it completely tricked-out for less than $20,000!

  • Near Perfection - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    At 62" and 265 lbs. with bad knees the xB is the only new car sold that I can get into and out of with ease. The last ten years I have had to buy gas guzzling full size pickups or SUVs. I like it so much, I helped two of my daughters buy Scion xBs It is very versatile and one of the most practicle vehicles made. Im 60 in N.H. and my daughters are 39 in Ill, and 29 in Tenn. so the xB has broad appeal.

  • my little fun box - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I purchased this car as a impulse buy, and so far I have no regrets. My only problem is that i went from a suv with a 350 and a 12 sec.qtr. mile street car to a car with only 108hp. but what do you expect from a car that is based at $14,000 new. It is fun to drive and GREAT on gas!! after a few motor up grades it might just be my favorite car i own.
