  SCION XB - 2005 Scion XB
  By lbar25 - August 19 - 10:00 am

  The Scion XB is an affordable vehicle that is easy to drive and there is ample leg and head room. It rides comfortably and I love the fact that the rear seats go down when more room is needed for carrying large items. And despite the fact that its only a 4 cylinder vehicle, it carried 4 average sized adults up a hill with no strain to the engine. And the automatic transmission is so good, you can barely feel it shifting gears.

  Awesome Car!! - 2005 Scion XB
  By cathy riley - August 19 - 10:00 am

  I got rid of my high maintenance german car (a fully loaded 03 passat) to get this car. I have a five year old who plays every sport and is always making a mess of the car while I drive a TON of mileage around town...its fun to drive, handles well, gets great gas mileage, no expensive maintenance, etc. I added leather to mine and they even put it on the doors and it really dresses it up as well as my 6 spoke wheels. Its just a great solid car/truck.

  GOTTA LOVE IT - 2005 Scion XB
  By SCION MAMA - August 19 - 10:00 am

  WE BOUGHT OUR SCION IN 2003, ONE OF THE FIRST, FRESH OFF THE FREIGHTS. THE MINUTE WE SAT IN IT, WE KNEW THIS WAS THE VEHICLE FOR US. YOU EITHER HATE IT OR GOTTA LOVE IT....WE LOVE IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ON A LIMITED BUDGET, BUT IN NEED OF A NEW VEHICLE. IT MAY LOOK SMALL ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT VERY ROOMY ON THE INSIDE.

  the car I thought I would not buy... - 2005 Scion XB
  By hawaiiguy - August 1 - 2:16 pm

  a beatiful car in and out...present problem with my 05 (manufactured 11/04) concerning a/c (not cold enough), parts ordered, and have to wait 4 weeks until the next opening at my nearby Toyota service dealership! Easy to get into/out with no contortions necessary, a lot of people will appreciate this! Has a nice tone on the stock exhaust system not too quiet nor too loud... Hear that some people use the rear right side storage in the back as an ice cooler, though I have not tried it yet. better handling performance with a rear sway bar,,,if you intend to make any handling improvements, this may be the only one you *MAY* need. gas mileage is about 30-32 on average with my auto.

  I Want to Tow - 2005 Scion XB
  By scionking - July 27 - 5:00 am

  First off, if youre big and tall and sick of trying to fit in those little cars, this is your ride. Ive had my xB going on 1.5 years now and I really enjoy it. I drive in a lot of high traffic areas and Im positive no full size SUV can match it. Yeah sure, I cant tow stuff, but I can park anywhere and getting around 30 mpg is a life saver. Its great on lane changes and when you lay the seats down you have a lot of room to carry all sorts of goodies. Ive even slept in it twice, no not because Im a weirdo, but because the tent just isnt as fun as it once was. I had the cold air induction put on and the exhaust added but you really dont get much bang from those mods. At least it sounds kinda neat.

  FUN, FUN AND MORE FUN!!!!! - 2005 Scion XB
  By Buffman - July 8 - 10:43 am

  Had my new xB for a month and love it. This is a love/hate car. You will love it or hate it. It is very unique to say the least. It is quicker than I thought it would be. When I read up to buy this car I thought it looks great as is, but who drive something that slow. Yes, it is slow but not anywhere near as bad as you may think. The gas mileage is great, there is more than enough room for a family of 4 (the kids cant kick the back of your seat when driving, HUGE PLUS), and storage space is more ample than I thought it would be. We have had a very windy fall here and this "little box" has been unaffected by it. Overall it has been lots of fun, not just a car!!

  fun economical ride - 2005 Scion XB
  By wynn - July 7 - 10:00 am

  if you can get past the fact that it looks like a freezer on wheels, it really is a great car.the back seat is unbelievably roomy, and its also cool that it gets 35 mph.great stereo system too.

  great car for a snowless climate - 2005 Scion XB
  By on the road again - July 4 - 5:53 am

  The roof is a little high for loading kayaks. The snow collects heavily and gets quite packed in the wheel wells causing the front tires to loose their turning mobility. On both rear wheels the packed snow had to be broken up with the windshield ice scraper. The wiring to the side lights is located in the wheel wells and it pulled away and is now broken and hang down. The garage said the whole unit would have to be replaced. Ive never had this happen before. Other than that I really love this car.

  Value for the money - 2005 Scion XB
  By Missouri Box Driver - June 15 - 12:10 am

  This is a first rate ride!! Dealer was great!! Overall this car is awesome the only things lacking are a somewhat choppy ride on less than perfect roads and no cruise control.Performance and fuel mileage are very good.

  I wasnt sure I was going to like it... - 2005 Scion XB
  By nkeithf - June 11 - 12:06 am

  I had driven an xB last year, and coming off of cars with considerably more pep, it really seemed sluggish--I have kind of a lead foot. But Im going back to school after 25 years, and wanted to lower my car payments, so I looked at it again...and you know, the price was just too powerful an incentive...Ive realized that once I bought it and got into it, theres actually completely adequate power...sure, its a little slower pulling out into traffic and all, but once youre up to cruising speed it goes as fast as I want it to...and its just damned fun to drive. It handles great in snow, you sit up high, and it gets the strangest looks...its really very cool!
