  Best 4 wheeled Vehicle I ever owned - 2005 Scion XB
  By Cleve Brown - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Scion has more room inside than my XL SUVs ever has. Its comfort exceeds SUVs litereally 3 to 4 times its price and it cost me half of what each of my Harleys cost. The style, comfor and efficiency has my friends who drive big expensive SUVs feel very stupid in their choice. If this is not a fluke, I will never waste money on a car again, I will always show greater intelligence for that chioce and I will mostlikely always have a Scion of a damn good immitator.

  Shoe Box! - 2005 Scion XB
  By Dan - August 6 - 8:03 pm

  As a couple in our 40s with two small kids, we hardly fit Toyotas intended Gen-Y/first- time buyer profile. We wanted a fuel-efficient vehicle to haul said kids around town, and the xB fit the bill perfectly. Having visted Japan many times, Ive seen plenty of these small/tall vehicles, which are offered by all Japanese mfrs, not just Toyota. In a country where traffic and parking issues are far worse than the US, theyre quite popular. Kudos to Toyota for the foresight to export the xB. I bought ours in Oregon to avoid sales tax, and drove it 1200 miles back to Colorado. While its not ideal for long-distance travel, its comfortable (Im 64"), cruises all day at 80-85, and gets 32mpg.

  Love the Box - 2005 Scion XB
  By coachT - July 24 - 1:33 am

  The BOX is great! Ive had mine for two months now and am still amazed at the space. I have no problem toting people or STUFF! I dont miss my truck, nor the 19 MPG. Im easily getting 34 MPG city and 38 MPG highway in my Scion xB. The Box will not win any races, but who cares...its great handling will allow you to zip in and out of traffic, and has no problems cruising at 80 mph on the highway. My main problem with the box is that my wife and daughters grab every opportunity to take it. This vehicle is not just for the young crowd...Im 42. The only addition I made was the center armrest...I would have bought the 5-speed but none where available. The camo color rocks! Get the center armrest and cruise control.

  Solid car with lots of room - 2005 Scion XB
  By jkm - July 10 - 10:00 am

  Just bought this car used. Its very solid and basic, much like the imports of the 70s and 80s. For a car with such little power, its surprisingly fun to drive. The interior room is simply amazing. Its like a theater with 6 screens. The car seems to grow magically when you get in. I always tell friends that its bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Driving position is comfortable but you have to get used to the position of the gauges. The engine is peppy and fun to rev on city streets but merging on the interstate can be a challenge. This is allot of car for the money. Ive found that its several thousand less than a comparable Honda Element, Fit, or Toyota Matrix.

  Who Can Be A Scion? - 2005 Scion XB
  By Xb OwNeR - June 19 - 1:46 pm

  The Scion XB is a very cool car to drive. We added about $5,000 worth of "the cool stuff" like neon lighting and a 6 disc CD changer. The ride is smooth and very comfortable. This vehicle has a whole lot of room. If you are into cars and you are the kind of people who will put money in your car for amps and subs, THIS is the car to get. Its square, its amps are square, and you could get square subs so its all good in the Scion. Go to a Scion dealer near you to check out an XB!
