  • best car i ever bought - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I absolutely love this car. I was in love with it the first time I sat in it. I looked at many other cars, such as the Mazda 3, Toyota Matrix, and Nissan Sentra, before I finally decided on this one.It is so much fun to drive and I get looks from other people where ever I go. I love the roominess and everything else about it. It is deffinately the best car I have ever owned and I used to own a Mustang, Honda Civic, and Subaru Impreza RS. I reccomend this car to anyone.

    My little red xB is fun to drive, people talk about it all the time, it works great for the family and they are popping up all over town. There are 4 in my complex alone. Anyone who has driven in or just sat in one is crazy about them. They cant believe the cost and the milage! IT ROCKS!

  • The Poor Persons Car - 2005 Scion XB

    Excellent gas mileage, reliability, priced to afford to buy, lots of room for cargo space, funny looks but public thinks it is COOL, lots of cubby holes to put stuff in, not expensive to maintain, and built by Toyota (the absolute best car builder with affordable prices-low maintenance. I am delighted with this affordable, large car and will keep it a long time as it fulfills all my needs!

  • What a fun box! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I just got my XB on Saturday. It rides more smooth then my previous SUV.(Jeep) The noise on the freeway is so quiet. The gas, well that is just one of several perks, it LASTS! I cant even begin to say how much I enjoy this joyride. Every day is adventure!

  • Great Vehicle - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I love my Scion. Its gas mileage is great! The space inside is fantastic, no kids kicking the back of the driver seat is great. Now that I invested in the armrest it is 100% great. I did upgrade the tires with 1 size larger and I can tell the difference in the handling of the vehicle.

  • I Love this Car! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Im not really in Toyotas demographic for this vehicle, but I find Im in the REAL demographic of those who drive them...40 something, laidback. And I LOVE this car! The only complaints are the usual ones about no armrest and dome light too dim. Other than that, this is one cool car. Cargo space is unbelievable, comfort is surprising, and the looks you get on the road are great. One other drawback: it hacks people off that this car has as much pep as it does. They dont like to be passed by it, because it doesnt look like it should be able to. Testosterone kicks in, and they try to prevent you from getting ahead of them. I bought the car for price, thinking I was stepping down, but wow!

  • The Best Thing Ive Ever Bought... - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I had a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am and when my friend let me drive her xB, I fell in love. Three weeks later, I traded the Pontiac in and got the Xb. I love it!! I thought the pickup would not be good, but, it is really peppy. The quality and workmanship is awesome. I am glad I decided to make the purchase. It was everything I could of wanted and more.

  • Love My Scion xB - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I drove my Scion from Cocoa Beach, Florida to Southern California then to Idaho and returning to Cocoa Beach. In total, I drove over 8,000 miles and got mileage as high as 39 mpg! Being a previous Mercedes and Porsche owner, this xB had some giant shoes to fill and fill the shoes it did! Even my BMW friends that drove across the country with me were VERY shocked at the economy and comfort of my little yellow xB. The Scion xB is a wonderful vehicle.

  • Wonderful little BOX - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    For some people the car is ugly but, everybody asks questions.....what is it?...who makes it?... And after showing people the interior and the cargo capacity they go....incredible!!.. This is the best little car I have ever owned. I am 65 years old and have had hundreds of cars of all sizes, and love to drive my BOX everywhere. The dealer said the car was meant for younger dirvers BUT, I see a lot of seniors driving them...I am one of them and I LOVE IT!
