  • Love This Car - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Looks can be deceiving. This car looks a lot smaller than it is . It is a very peppy and practical car. You got it.. Toyota. How can you go wrong. Make it any way you want it.

  • 05 Scion xB - 2005 Scion XB

    This car is affordable and fun to drive with accessories found on much more expensive cars. Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control are unheard of in a car for less than $15,000.

  • Happy Scion owner - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    A lot of people tease about the shape of the Xb but after all the kidding is done all agree that it is the roomiest car they have ever seen. I have been averaging 29 MPG day to day driving and I have gotten as high as 39 MPG on the road but 34 - 35 MPG is the norm. The versatility of the car is great. I have carried 4 passengers comfortably and have been able to carry doors and lots of STUFF in it. The Xb is the greatest small car I have ever owned. The only car I hold in higher regard is my 1967 Mustang.

  • Toyota Delivers A Winner - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I owned a Toyota bB while stationed in northern Japan. When we left we knew we would miss that little "ride". We were totally unaware that Toyota had introduced the bB in the U.S. as a Scion xB. The minute we heard the info we searched for a dealer. We went to take a look and I was amazed. Other than the fact that the steering wheel is on a different side of the vehicle it appears that Toyota delivered just like it was in Japan. The xB is an awesome little "ride". You can "pimp" it out or just leave it as is. Either way it turns heads. I have been pulled over by Cops who "just wanted to know what it was." It draws tons of positive attention.

  • Everything I want - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    This car is simply the best of everything I could want. It offers an excellent comfort level for the price. It proves you dont have to spend lots of money to get a nice vehicle. Sure there are oddities to get used to, but as a whole, it is a well-rounded fun vehicle.

  • Feels/sounds cheap - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    At 67" I love the spaciousness of this car both in front and rear seats. It is peppy yet frugal. I get 30mpg (+/- 1) no matter how I drive it. I dont like the sound the doors make when you slam them shut (especially with windows rolled down halfway). NOT confidence inspiring and actually downright embarrassing!! Ive taken the car in twice now to get serious rattles taken care of. It still has one. The interior could be a little less cheap feeling. The stereo is tinny and boomy (no midrange). The stereo in my Focus sounds 10 times better (even if it doesnt make your knees shake)!

  • Best little toaster on the road - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I have had my Scion xB now for almost a year and have loved it from the start. I drove it cross country and at some points was actually getting 42 mpg. This is a great little car with a ton of room and heart!

  • have driven only in town - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Reacts very nice in traffic, coners well. Needs arm rest on right side. Needs space to put cd tapes. Glove box is small. Over all very nice ride.
