Overview & Reviews

In an effort to get buyers under 30 into its dealerships, Toyota launches an all-new division called Scion. The brand will eventually grow to three models, but for now two are offered, one of these a boxy, attention-getting vehicle called the xB. Scion will use a no-haggle sales strategy and give buyers ample opportunity to customize their xBs, drawing upon a list of over three dozen dealer-installed options.

• Massive interior for its size, unusual mini-truck styling, long list of standard equipment, comes with stability control, handles well for a budget-priced vehicle.

  Best of Two worlds - 2004 Scion XB
  By paulcat - August 31 - 9:36 am

  I have a 2004 Scion xB A/T. I recently took a 2,000 mile trip through the east, averaging 34.8 mpg at about 75 mph with the AC on. It rides according to the road surface, meaning, a good road = a good ride...jarring bumps, you get the picture. Im 61" and 230 lbs. and find it to be an easy drive. My mate is 50" and 135 pounds, and she gets excellent thigh support, but the pedals are far away, with the steering wheel very close, and the proximity of the A pillar and the outside mirror blocks her line of sight. I chose the xB because it was the BEST compromise between a van and a compact car, that suited my style.

  Fabulous 40,000 Miles So Far - 2004 Scion XB
  By Charlie SJC - July 21 - 1:40 am

  The Scion xB has more head and leg room for four tall people than most SUVs. The gas mileage with the stick shift has improved from year to year. I never get less that 32 mpg now and sometimes get 35 mpg.

  My Scion (Artoo is his name) - 2004 Scion XB
  By Scion Fan - July 3 - 2:10 am

  Five adults go out to dinner in this car, its so roomy -- one is 65". When we go out with another couple, they always want to take our Scion. I have hip/knee arthritis, but no problem getting in and out. 93 year old mother-in-law can do it alone. Its little on the outside, but huge on the inside. It also drives/corners like a sports car -- just not low- slung. Good visibility 360 degrees. No blind spots. Toyota quality, 100% Japanese made. What more could you want?

  Increddible vehicle - 2004 Scion XB
  By rickorama - June 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car when i saw it immeditaley. I drove it for 3 minutes and knew I had to have it. Come to find out, it is even more versitle than i had ever imagined. Tons of space and my huge 66" friends fit in the back better than my escalade! I get looks from everyone on the street giving me the thumbs up.

  Best car and most fun to drive - 2004 Scion XB
  By rickoorama - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This little car is so fun to drive. It holds all my tools and equipment for my job, plus hauls my huge 66" friends around with complete comfort and room.

  Coot Scoot - 2004 Scion XB
  By xB Coot - June 27 - 2:43 am

  I wanted a van w/o the huge size so I bought an xB. It fits me to a "T." It is fairly comfy for long trips, not too noisy and easy to drive. It fits my dog and two passengers plus our luggage, or me plus 3 HS Football players and their equipment with legroom to spare. I hope itll last at least 16 more years!

  Still getting the stare. - 2004 Scion XB
  By Brian Bubonic - February 22 - 10:00 am

  A few months into owning the car and I still have to answer the usual questions about it (ie: Who makes this? Is it a hybrid? Why did you buy such an ugly car?...) Its a fun ride and offers lots of space for passengers. I was in a minor accident a few weeks after buying the car and was surprised at how quickly parts were available for such a new model.
