    I purchased this car for my teenagers as a economical, and safe second vehicle for our family. They have yet to get the opportunity to drive the car. I just fell in love with every aspect of this car. It out performed all of my expectations in drivability, fuel economy, and interior comfort. It doesnt look like much, but it was worth every penny. I told the kids we would have to get another one for them, because I was not willing to turn over the keys. Also, since I purchased this vehicles in Oct of 2004 I have not experienced any mechanical, or cosmetic problems with this car. If youre looking for fun economy, then get this car you wont regret it.

    Blessed to find an immaculate 05 after months researching original vs redesign; thrilled w/visibility, handling, mpg, ease of maintainence and cleaning, interior size, ease of entry/exit. Only negative so far is that rain drips into interior when window open - should be an easy fix with visors. Fun to watch folks strain their necks when seeing the xB for the first time, get lots of questions about it. Plan on keeping this forever. Will test out the traction and stability soon on the approaching ice and snow.

  • An XB in Nebraska - 2005 Scion XB

    Just bought this great little car a few weeks ago and I love it. I read every review I could find before buying it and most were dead on. The style turns heads, the interior (size and design) is amazing, and the questions people ask are sure to keep you from being bored at parties. My wife loves it too and is looking forward to the day when we can fill up that HUGE back seat with a baby seat, a stroller, and every other thing well ever need for our child 4 months from now: the space will happily accomodate all of it. Ours ended up at about 19000 (be careful with all the warranties, paperwork, and other "extras", they are good but read up before hand) and I think its worth every cent.

    I bought my xB in Jan of 05, and its been nothing but fun driving, customizing, and even cleaning it. It turns heads when on the road. Every modification has gone very smoothly. It is gentle on the wallet at the pump, but I think one of the coolest aspects is the community these little boxes have created. When Im driving and another xB pops up we always wave and generally ride together when ever possible. Scion car clubs have sprung up across the country and its exciting to be part of what I call the "Scion Invasion." Goodbye "Its a Jeep thing..." hello "Its a box thing, you wouldnt understand."

  • My review of the XB - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Its a great little car if you want good gas mil;eage. Does not have alot of power but has everything else for the amount of money you pay. Very roomy inside, you can easliy fit 4 adults comfortably in the XB. I love driving it everyday and my job requires lots of travel.

  • LOVE my box! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Its FUN to drive, looks cute, commands attention. The gas mileage attracted me to it, then the unique look sealed the deal. I love it as-is. The only addition I plan to make to it is get some alloy wheels for it. Its the most original vehicle on the market. Scion did right where Honda went wrong with the Element. Its so incredibly roomy inside and I can carry four adults with PLENTY of room. Its cavernous for such a small car! Ive got NO complaints about it at all, so far its lived up to and beyond all of my expectations.

    For the price, you cant beat it. It is probably the best vehicle in its price range. Its fun, reliable, and gets a lot of attention. You cant beat it.
