  Foxy Box - 2005 Scion XB
  By Bonnye Briggs - August 2 - 1:56 am

  This is a fun vehicle to drive with lots of pickup and go. It gets great gas mileage and is super to just pop to school or to the office. This care is a great buy for a well made Toyota vehicle.

  xB For the Win! - 2005 Scion XB
  By ZionXB - June 18 - 3:23 pm

  I bought this car in Jacksonville, Florida. I picked it up for $14,000 out the door. Its a 2005 Auto Black xB with an INJEN air intake already installed. I got it for a great price, it drives great, and it gets awesome gas mileage. We packed four people for a weekend getaway and everyone was comfortable. Even with the limited HP, it still accelerates comfortably. I also love the amount of modifications that can be done.

  I have a 2005XB, Manual Trans. & I luv it. I average 32.4 MPG combined city & Hwy. I still cant believe the interior room, the way it handles, etc........ If you looking for a great, fun, economy vehicle, look no further. Just go buy the XB!

  Boxes can be fun - 2005 Scion XB
  By BoXedUP - May 29 - 8:50 pm

  I fell in love with my box (aka XB) when I first saw it. It was unlike anything else on the market at that time or really since then. I bought it for three main reasons. 1) I loved the way it looked. 2) I loved the mileage it was reported to get. And 3) It was more customizable and had more personality than any vehicle I had ever encountered. Now three years and almost 40,000 miles later I still catch myself with a smile on my face as I drive down the interstate to work. I have owned many cars in the past but never one that I have truly loved. This year I am considering on trading in my Box. What will I replace it with? The next generation XB. I love this car and the Scion experience.

  Great, but Drive It First - 2005 Scion XB
  By scottysail - May 25 - 10:06 am

  The Scion xB is a cool car. Its affordable for post-college students is and just neat to drive. I like it a lot. Mine has just a very basic setup (but for the cost no complaints should be allowed).

  05 xB Convert - 2005 Scion XB
  By Roy - May 20 - 12:03 am

  I have driven my xB now for just over one year and it is still fun to drive. I have had no mechanical problems with it. It does have a few minor rattles from the front door pillars, but otherwise it is an exellent vehicle for the price. It stops on a dime, and the Vehicle Skid Control works perfectly.

  Happy with my Scion! - 2005 Scion XB
  By a new owner - May 15 - 10:00 am

  I really thought I wanted to purchase the xA and went to the delaership to see one in person. It was WAY TOO SMALL! You have to move the front seats forward in order to put the rear seats down. I tried the Matrix and then the xB. Everything was great! TONS OF ROOM even with the front seats all the way back! I was not totally sold on the exterior design, but it grows on you. Simple controls, GREAT visability. Overall, a fun and funky little car!

  By xbassateak - May 15 - 10:00 am

  this vehicle is adorable,but, it seems like it was thrown together. maybe thats why it was so cheap. the look is great. it is comfortable,yet, that could be upgraded a bit. gas mileage is decent. it is extremely fun to drive. like a little baha mobile.

  The Ups and Downs - 2005 Scion XB
  By mxpro338 - May 5 - 4:23 pm

  I have owned this car for a year and have put over 30,000 miles on it. What I like: it is reliable and roomy! The xB is a very practical "around town" car, it gets good fuel mileage, is unique, has suprisingly strong engine for its displacement, has phenominal handling (even in the snow!), and is affordable. What I dont like: it lacks passing power at high RPM, the original radio, lots of wind noise, and it had no armrest when new. In the end, if you are looking at this car you have to weigh out what is important to you. It is not great fuel mileage (30-32 mpg avg.) and it is not powerful (100 - 110hp), but it is fun to own and will attract lots of attention around your town.
