Been Deceived - 2005 Scion XB
By scott - May 3 - 1:36 pmThe mileage ratings quoted by Scion are totally bogus on this car. They say it gets 30 city and 34 highway (or government says). Im a 46 year driver that wanted a high mileage vehicle and by no means a lead foot. I routinely am getting 20 mi./gal in the city. This has been a real disappointment for me as I could have bought a hybrid for a little more. Has anyone else out there gotten such poor gas mileage with their Scion XB?

By scionmama - April 20 - 10:00 amIts a pleasure to drive, and you dont feel like you are in a small car. I also enjoy all the stares from people, whove never seen the Scion.

Love Our Scion - 2005 Scion XB
By rysmom - April 20 - 10:00 amWe first saw this odd looking car in Time Magazine when they did an issue on design. Reading that it was associated with Toyota, we did more research and slowly fell in love with the car. We and our 18 year old son talked about getting it and soon my son was putting together his car on the Scion Website. We ended up getting the first one from the Scion Dealer on the first day of sales on the East Coast. We loved the looks we got when driving around. People staring and I actually had a guy infront of me get out of his car at a stoplight to ask me what it was and how much it cost. We love the space inside, the ride, and the design of the dash.

My Perfect Car - 2005 Scion XB
By Al Stirbens - April 15 - 10:26 pmOn a whim, I took one for a test drive. What a brilliant piece of engineering and design. Fantastic rear seat leg room, true chair high seating, ability to haul cargo, boxy design for ease of driving, decent fuel economy and traditional Toyota quality, reliability and value. At age 57 I am tired of sitting low to the floor in the compact sedans I have owned. A truck is not practical for my life style. This is the ideal car for me. Im not sorry I traded in a one year old compact sedan for the Scion xB. It has "me" written all over it. I simply love it. Lots of car for the price!

awesome - 2005 Scion XB
By autmom - April 15 - 10:00 amI love this car! We bought it for my husband to go back and forth to work with, but I find myself making excuses to drive it! It is roomy, quiet, and all controls are easily reached. It takes a few drives to get used to the spedometer in the middle of the console,but becomes second hand soon enough. The ride is a little bumpy on rough roads, but I find that in all smaller cars. We can go the same distance on a tank of gas with both our xb and our sienna, but it costs half the amount to fill the xb. It takes off quick and manuvers great,the turning radius is extremely minimal,literally on a dime. Im hoping the Toyota reliability flows into the Scion. Just plain fun to drive!

Love my xB!! - 2005 Scion XB
By elsie - April 6 - 12:40 pmI have only owned this vehicle a little over a month, & I am glad I bought it every time I drive it. The ride is very smooth & it is so very roomy. The fact that the seats are just a little bit higher than the average compact or subcompact makes it very easy to get in & get out, especially for people who are a little limited in stooping for whatever reason. My grandkids like to ride in it, my mother likes to ride in it, my husband likes to ride in it. The ability to pack & unpack the vehicle is also very easy. My previous vehicle was a Ford Focus, & it was cute, but this vehicle is so much more functional.

Best Bang for your Buck - 2005 Scion XB
By b desaw - April 5 - 10:00 amI bought 2006 Scion xB and have put 700 miles on it so far. On my first tank of gas, I got 30 mpg and on my second tank I got 29 mpg. The xB is a GREAT small car! Its very fun (easy) to drive, has a great sound system, and a cool/funky design. I bought it partly because I wanted to fit a wheelchair in back (I am replacing a Honda Odyssey), and partly because gas just went up to $3.60 a gallon. It is not a sportscar, but a logical and efficient way to get from here to there, in comfort, with sufficient power, and LOTS of interior space! I am very happy! I would defininitely recommend this vehicle to smart consumers. Idiots who need massive power to suppliment their ego shouldnt buy this car, it wont suit their needs. It suits my needs perfectly.
