  • Most Fun Car I Have Ever Owned - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I am the owner of a limited edition yellow Scion xB. The car is so much fun to drive that I look forward to taking it out as much as possible. I usually have people asking questions about it where ever I go. I am 62" and have plenty of extra head room and leg room. Its pickup is more than adequate and the gas mileage is between 30/35 MPG. The tank is just under 12 gallons. The xB is by far one of the hottest most sought after vehicles as proven by being out of stock in just about every showroom. Ordering one will take about a month. It is well worth the wait. If you are looking to bring the fun back into driving, look no further than the Scion xB. It is a winner.

  • Again, Toyota makes the best in all area - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Bought this for my wife to drive 40 work roundtrip miles. Whenever possible I get to drive it for fun. Of the 40+ cars & trucks owned in the past 50+ yrs (Chevys, Fords, Subaru, Mercedes), this xB outpaces every other vehicle in all categories. It is very comfortable on long trips (I am 6 & 240 lbs) and is quick to react in heavy traffic. I can wear my cowboy hat & not hit the headliner and with the front seats back, most can sit in the back and cross their legs without hitting the backs of the front seats. More passenger room that most full-size cars. Safety and engineering features that are not even available on most cars until you hit the 40K price range. Quality? Its Toyota!

    WOW - I own one of the Hot Lava Models and I must say that this probably has been the best purchase I ever made. We are a family of 4 and we have more than enough room inside, comes standard with many great features, we have driven it and enjoy the ride, gas mileage is amazing ..... Take one for a drive and you will see why this is going to be a Cool Little Ride .......

  • Best value for the $ hands down! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    My scion was just totaled after 8 years of ownership. I loved it so much I felt I needed to review it for others to know. I bought it as a salvage in 06 with 16k miles on it and I put 170k miles on it. I did do some routine maintenance but it wasnt super consistent and definitely not on time. I never had a single mechanical problem with it other than replacing some simple belts once. After a few years of ownership I crashed it and had to replace my good, front fenders, front bumper, radiator, and some wiring and even after it ran flawlessly. Im a younger guy and drove it pretty hard and took it On long trips with lots of luggage and it performed great! Minor cosmetic flaws but great value!!

  • AMAZING! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This car is the coolest thing. The windows are like picture windows. The back seats are as roomy as the front seats. It looks like a small car so its east to park, but it is big on the inside. Its a happy car. You have to smile when you look at it. The only complaint is that it does not yet come with cruise control. When it is available I will have it installed. I cant recommend the car highly enough, and I do mostly highway driving.
