  • a Fun car to drive - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    It is a very fun car to drive! It gets alot of peoples attention. The performance is unbelievable for a 4 cyclinder...it is VERY spunky.

  • Xb Review - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Selected because of its combination of its very short length (needed in my short garage space) and its incredible headroom. I had one of the first xBs in our area, and it got lots of looks and questions. It rides pretty well, and is easy to park, but the manual transmission feels and sounds like there should be an additional gear for smooth highway cruising. Glad I bought the car - its great for milage, shopping hops around town, and taking guests to dinner.

  • 2005 Scion xB - Great Little Car - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    The Scion xB gets great gas milage, is inexpensive, looks great, and is a Toyota. With all the features standard it is a great value.

  • I like it very much - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This was my daughters dream car and she only had 900 miles on it when she was murdered. It is now my office on wheels as l work in many places. l have tried to make it a tribute to her, the license plate is her screen name and her name Vanessa, means butterfly; it is covered in butterflies now. l get comments on the butterflies all the time, usually from women, however, even a guy gives a thumbs up now and then as he passes me driving his own xB. l would give the car up in a second along with anything else to have my baby back but feel a bit closer to her driving the car she wanted long before it became available in Florida.

  • Little cube on a skate - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    My little white cube on a skate is so tiny outside, yet, so cavernous inside. Nimble in traffic, easy to park. Its fun to look at, fun to drive. Sound system is great. My xB Scion makes me feel like a young man again. Im in my sixties.

  • The neatest car I ever owned and fast... - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I wouldnt trade or sell this for anything.. It has re-juvinated me. The 5-speed is fast fun and furious. Gotta drive this before you die.

  • makes you smile - 2005 Scion XB

    My third Toyota and by far the most enjoyable to drive. Fun car with lots of room and great mileage. All the safety features you expect from a Toyota.

  • One slammin sweet ride. - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I thought Ib blow Toyotas demographics to heck and by an XB. Im 50...yea a half-a- century. I just might be the first AARP eligible driver to purchase one of these. I have a young, former punk rocker wife, two daughters, mother in law and a compact dog. They all fit! With extra room. I can ever fit lots of photo gear in it so I can make the payments on this cool box. This sweet ride is stylin - jazz on the slammin CD changer is killer. Its comfy, cruises down the highway quitely. Has that Toyota thing going for it. I dont even mind when my wife cues up a Sex Pistols CD and gets all teary eyed! Life is good in a Scion box. Party on!!!

  • My Scion xB - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I love this car. Ive had it for two months now and Im really glad I bought it. Its fun to drive and the room inside is just amazing - especially the head room. The gas mileage is just terrific. Its better than I expected. Would only change one thing - - this car needs a bit more engine power.

  • 05 XB manual - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    We purchased our XB manual about 2 weeks ago. I just want to say that this is exactly the car weve been looking for. We went from an Explorer to the XB and Im loving the gas mileage improvement, and the fact that it does not take up 1/2 of my garage :) I felt that the manual transmission was the way to go, we do a lot of snow/mountain pass driving and I felt that the "get up and go" was a little stronger with the manual. If youre on the fence I would highly recomend this car. The dealership was fantastic as well. Easiest car we have purchased! I was playing "taxi" after our Christmas party, and this car holds 5 adults with no problem.
