  • I love this little car - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I have only had this Scion Xb a week, so far I love it. Been debating on buying it for months, and finally did so I can save miles on my Yukon and save gas money. My kids love it, husband loves. People are impressed with the roomy interior. It is fun to drive. I love the 5 speed. Easy to park compared to my Yukon Xl.

  • My Box - 2005 Scion XB

    I financed this car with less than 23k miles on it, and so far have about 54k on it. In that time I havent had to replace anything but a blown tire and a headlight bulb. Scion, although marketed towards those of us in the younger generations, I find to be majorly consumed by those of you in your early to late 50s. The Toyota reliability is completely apparent. If you are searching for a great commuter car that slowly sips on the gas, the Scion xB might just be your heaven-sent. If you are looking for a speed-demon, a luxury soaked dream cruise, look someplace else. Although I adore my "foxy box", it doesnt ever trick you into believing its anywhere above an economy car.

    This has been one of the best cars I have owned. It has supprising power when you need it. The only thing that I dislike about it is that the rear window needs to open seperately. Other than that, it has been one of the best vehicles. It also gets great gas milage.

    The perfect car for folks who are a little bit utiliarian (cost, resell value, space, operating cost)while not forgeting what make a a car enjoyable... the stylized appeal, customization, and "fun drive" factor. The scion XB like many toyotas is very practicle transportaion... but unlike other Toyotas the Scion brandline is quickly proving that practicle CAN be fun and exciting too!

  • Whats with the Ignition - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    We have really been enjoying this car. Gets lots of attention. Is roomy. But after a month of owning it the key got stuck in the ignition. Had to take it to the dealer and get a new ignition (or whatever) put in. Now after about a month or so, again key is stuck. Wonder if others have had this problem. Did we get a lemon?

  • Cool car, great gas mileage - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I have had my Scion Xb for a year now. It is the most distinctive car around. It does lack in the get up & go department but I knew that going in. (I sold a WRX to get the Xb, cheaper on insurance & gas & tires.) Ive averaged just over 31 mpg with an automatic. Has plenty of room, looks cool

  • Love It - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    We shopped everything $15,000 and under, for 5 weeks. Some things that should be standard safety features are not offered in this price range for an SUV or Van. We were considering upping our price range just to get 4 wheel ABS. It was either that or go to a later model vehicle, which either way was disappointing. I am reading that the Scion xB is designed to appeal to 20-something year olds. I can tell you that at 41 years of age, I was thrilled to find a car with all the safety and economy features I was hoping to find. And its pretty, unique, has great storage, and my tall husband has lots of head room.

    I bought the car 2 weeks ago. The two things that impress me most about the car are the value you get for a car priced at $15,000 and the gas mileage. It has a lot of options for a car priced so reasonably. It is also a Toyota and I do not know where you can purchase such quality for the price.
