  • Love car, hate front seats - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Bought car 1 month ago. Former car Toyota tercel 4wdr which I loved but it got rear-ended. Love the look & mileage. Have a stick and do not have any power problems. Daughter and friends love all the room in the back. 1 BIG COMPLAINT: My husband & I both have backaches after riding more than 1 hr in either front seat (we are 56" and 510"). Nobody else has written about this and it worries us. Any suggestions?

  • Foxy Boxy - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I traded in my Toyota RAV4 for my 2005 Scion xB. I really didnt like it at first because it looked wierd. After driving it for three months, I love it! It has much better handling than the RAV, it gets better gas mileage, and has much, much more room. I can easily fit two car seats in the back. I work at a box company, and I had someone say "just cause you work at a box company, doesnt mean you have to drive one," if they only knew! :) I love it. Mine has an awesome color, my subs sound way better in this than the RAV, and it is fun to stand out.

  • "MY SCION " WHATS NOT TO LOVE! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I have driven alot of cars in my life time (Im 60 yrs old)and I have never been so excited as I am about my new Scion. Strangers are always asking me about my car when Im at a gas station or food shopping. I even nicked named my vehicle "Silver bullet" because it has lots of kick power for a 4 cylinder automibile. I also like the Large front windshield and the rear windows that go down all the way. This car is very affordable, comfortable and puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Whats not to love!

  • Great for old folks too - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Apparently the xB is being marketed to buyers younger than my wife and myself, but we fell in love with its utility, price, standard features and ABS, so even though we have a daughter old enough to drive one, we bought it for ourselves. Have had it for about 2 months and continue to love it. Interior room is the signature of this car, but its standard features (including ABS) are a real plus, especially for the $14,100 price we paid in NJ. Gripes? The interior lighting could be better and brighter, and the ride could be smoother, but these are minor complaints. Though our suburban nieghbors have yet to adjust to seeing the xB in our driveway, we look out now and then just to admire it.

  • Best car ever! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Got my 05 XB late august. I always thought it was a pretty cool car since I saw a photo of its Japanese version, the bB. I had a Jeep Wrangler TJ I used as my commuter. Gas mileage was killing me on my work commute of 80s miles a day. Since selling my jeep, I have no regrets at all. NONE! This is THE coolest looking, most fun car Ive owned ever! I find myself driving it just fo the sake of driving. All at a fuel sipping 30+mpg. My 1st fill up was 9 gallons, or $15, amazing!

  • ITS AMAZING!! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This car, is pound for pound the best thing on the market. Its a toyota, so you know it reliable, and it has GREAT fuel economy, not to mention hot looking.

  • Driving fun - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This is the most fun car (out of 8) Ive ever owned. It is perfect for city driving due to its short length, handling, and cargo capacity. Its styling makes it almost hugable. What a relief to drive a car that, so far, has had zero problems. Every time (literally) I get in it, Im glad I bought it.

  • Best Car - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This is the best car ever! I love it! The driving is great, the steering, the mileage.. just everything about it is great. I cant think of any drawbacks on the car. Plus, this is a great car to accessorize with different little things Scion offers.
