  • Who Knew a Box Could be so Fun! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    When I had originally purchased my 2005 Scion xB, I was in dire need of a car that worked, and I was sick of fixing up my old junker. I needed a reliable car to get to work and back home. Thankfully, a good friend of mine had turned me onto the Scion xB. With its spacious interior and daring new looks, it was more than just a car. It redefined what it meant to drive a car. The Scion xB is great in all aspects of a new car; great standard options, a roomy interior for friends and family, wonderful fuel economy, and a fresh new look, all starting just under $15,000. This car is truely wonderful, and Im proud to say, "I drive a box."

    Very easy entrance / exit for the vehicle. Comfortable and really fun to drive. Handles very well. Test drove the vehicle on a windy day here in Lincoln - hardly noticed.

  • Best Bang for the Buck - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Everything you could possibly need in a city car. Big enough for a family and small enough to park in a Minis space.

  • Great Value!! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I love my xb!! This car was such a great value for what you get. I dont love the look on the outside but the ride and features for the price make me love this car. We shopped around for over a month and no ohter car came close to what you got in this car for the price. It is fun to drive and I feel very safe in it. Great buy!!!

  • Too Much Fun! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This car is way to much fun for the low price. I have the special edition yellow version and it is almost impossible for me to be at a gas pump without someone asking me about it. I get 34 mpg on the highway, and cruise at 70 - 75mph. Its a bit noisy at those speeds, but hey..turn up the CD! I have taken a long road trip (1,700 miles) and found it to be as comfortable at the end of the day as the beginning.

  • like the car - 2005 Scion XB

    it is nice very roomie

  • Better then my Matrix - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    First off I would like to say my experience with Scion of Naperville was beyond excellent, Between the people to the cars it was all out perfect. I love the xb because it gives me what I need more then my toyota matrix could and I paid 5-6 thousand more the xb. So when I seen the xb and the price I jumped right on trading my matrix in. Best choice I ever made. Sure people look at it funny at first, but once they see the inside and go for a ride they are sold.

  • BEST BUY FOR YOUR MONEY - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Scion XB is a definite head turner. People cannot help but ask on every stop light, every chance given. Its definitely not for the enclosed, traditional and closed minded person. Because, "its different". It is not a Car, nor a Van, or an SUV. Scion is in its own category and class. It was originally designed to attract young people, thats why they have priced it very affordable specially for students or first time buyers, but litle that they know,middle age up to seniors are loving this car. Why drive what everybody drives? Be different, be noticed, and step out of "the box", but step in into a "cool and unique box".

  • cant lick this box - 2005 Scion XB
