  • I love it! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I love it! Good looks, super roomy inside. I can fold the seats completly flat and still fit a six or seven foot ladder in it. I drive about 500-700 miles a week, city and highway mileage (Im at 1500 miles after about two weeks of ownership). Im averaging about 28 mpg (a little less than I originally expected). Nit- picky complaints are that I wish the driver had an arm rest for their right arm, and that the tilt steering went down just a little bit further. Everywhere I go I get all kinds of inquiries and comments.

    I bought this XB after looking long and hard for something affordable,yet roomy enough to haul my music equipment.It can hold my small PA system and my keyboard, or my drumset.I had been driving a fullsize chevy van but the gas was starting to kill me. i have found a common ground with my XB!

    when i first saw it i thought it was very unattractive but once i took it on a test drive,then stretched out in the roomy backseat area with plenty of head room i was sold.i receive so many stares from passerbys its crazy.they all are impressed want to know what is it, who makes it,how much is it,they are floored when i give them their answers.i drove it to kentucky and it was an enjoyable trip,6 disc cd changer is the bomb.the l.e.d. lighting at night inside the vehicle is romantic.i cant wait to join a scion club i"ll be a member for life.

    I purchased my Scion new and plan on keeping this model for many years. It is fun to drive, the visibility is exceptionally good, my mileage is anywhere between 30 and 35 MPG depending on how many people are in the car or, what I am transporting to college. Compared to the 2008, which is larger and not as pretty am mine, Ill stick to my 2005 XB.

  • Bang for the Buck!!! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    When reseaching vehicles under $15,000, on paper the xB is the clear winner. After driving it for a week, "the box" delivers. All of the comforts I wanted...A/C, power locks, mirrors and windows...auto....the list goes on. While being a little tight in the "hip and shoulder department", the xB has got tons of leg and headroom. The leg room does come at a cost, very little cargo room with rear seats up. The ride is choppy and rough. The vehcile is underpowered, but sufficent for most driving. And it handles well...really well. Stick in a turn and keep the gas on..it might not go fast in straight line, but it makes a turn fun!!!

  • The perfect vehicle! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    I bought this for my wife and she loves it so much! And I do as well! She had a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and she didnt think shed like as much, but she would never look back now. SO much space, adequate power, great gas mileage, and dependibilty combined with head-turning style will keep this car in our driveway for a long time.

  • Scion xB - The Best Deal Money Can Buy! - 2005 Scion XB
    By -

    Ive had my xB for two years and still love it the way I did when I brought it home. Its getting 33 mpg and still gets plenty of attention on the street and at shows. If you want a vehicle that dang near does it all the xB has you covered and then some.
