  • Love my Scion... - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    We purchased this car primarily for a light weight vehicle to tow behind a motor home. Blue OX makes an excellent base plate for the Scion. We like it so much we have found we drive it all the time and let our other vehicles sit in the garage. Great little car!

    I am a custom window decorator. I pack 5 boxes of sample on and under back- seat. Its easy to get to my samples. Backdoor is easy to use. Lots of headroom. Just perfect for day to day in-city driving and maneuvering. The gasmileage is fantastic. No complains.

    We love our Scion XB! We have three children and two dogs. Our entire family fits comfortably and stylishly in our lava colored scion. People are so curious about the car - they love to ask questions and we get a great deal of "lovin it" feedback.

    Weak in power but for a kid like me, whos not into the fast and the furious, its a fun car to cruise along the beach with or even the highway. I love the attention that it brings from the ladies. This car is great!

  • My Mini School Bus :) - 2005 Scion XB

    My Scion xb was the best purchase I could have ever made! I just moved and I could fit a million things in there. The room in this vehicle is superior to any in its class. I love the way the xb takes turns and turns heads, its a very appealing vehicle and anyone who owns it knows that. I love my Scion xb!

  • The car of the future - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Since 1996 went from Town Car to Lex LS400 to Prius. This is one terrific little package that sacrifices nothing. We call it the box car. Cant believe that a package this small on the outside can have so many feaures in and out, not the least of which is the look. It turns heads everywhere we go! We miss a speed control, may add one, but overall this is one of the best buys today, any where. I am disappointed so far with gas mileage, but car is new, hope it will improve, but was really spoiled by the Prius. Im a good American, but there is no way anyone so far can innovate the car market like Toyota. Also own a GMC 3500 Pickup, its going bye bye, too!

  • Scion is My-ion - 2005 Scion XB

    Pretty clever thinking regarding interior space efficiency ... larger folks in the backseat will thank you ... Ive always liked boxy cars ... Its trippy and funny and fun ... I way like it though I do have one problem which goes as follows: I wanted something very good on gas; I wanted something practical that would hold up ... with such low horsepower, I thought getting a cold air intake would give the transmission better life over the years ... it was supose to marginally increase horsepower and (I thought) not hurt gas mileage ... It did make the XB more peppy, but Im only getting 26 mpg ... Toyota doesnt seem to have much info on this though ...

    This car is incredible, everyone stop driving to look at it, even people walking around. Is very economical expesially here in NYC, I only spend less that $20.00 for full gas every week. Me and my wife are really proud for this car so far, we love it. "THANKS SCION"

  • My Scion - 2005 Scion XB

    The Scion xB is the answer to my desire for an SUV. I have the height off of the ground and the room inside. The best part of all is that I dont pay the high gas price that goes with owning an SUV. I enjoy driving my wagon very much!
