2006 Scion xB 5-Door Wagon

Purchased As New

I bought this car new in 2006. I drive it every day to work. Now I live in Germany and it does very well on the Autobahn. While certainly not as fast as other cars, it easily goes 130 KMH (about 85 MPH) all day long when traveling. It has hit 105 MPH and it was not downhill.

The Europeans that see it are always facinated by its look and interior capacity. I had to give up telling them it was a Scion as they have never heard of them---to them it is a Toyota.

My wife and I love this car. My boys are over 6 feet tall and their knees do not touch the seats in front of them....read morehide

lots of room,rides nice,easy to get in and out,good radio, air works great, good on gas.

Pros

Good on Gas, Cute, Rides nicely and very roomy. I absolutely love it!!

Cons

I wish it had day time running lights, center console and speed control

When you test drive this, you will fall in love with it. I love my toaster on wheels. I have so many people stop me and ask where i got it, how does it do on gas and where they can buy one. When my husbands grandparents where down from Iowa they rode in it one time and went home the next day and bought one. IT is so worth the money!!!...read morehide

Pros

Good MPG............roomy

Cons

Bumpy ride....poor sound system.......cheap feeling......

Well you get what you pay for.....i guess......I got this car as a graduation gift. its a pretty easy car to drive, it does not have that much power i.e. 4 cylinder. the sound system is very weak{i almost blew the speakers out / not even that loud}.....although the car lacks some things............the MPG is very good......and the car is very roomy.

Pros

fuel economy, appearance, cool factor, room

Cons

windshield chips easily, paint also

I love my scion xb, it has been a great little car for my family.

Pros

I am so glad I purchased this car and not a large gas bomb

Cons

Not many. The windshield trim rattles at 70mph had to use electrical tape to deflect wind from wiper

I am 6'4" and fit with ease in this car. I purchased the car 7 months ago and have put 30,000 miles with no problems except the rattling windshield trim. Easy fix with electrical tape. If you are not sure...please be sure. This is a good working car that can get great gas mileage. 30 city 35highway...really!...read morehide

Pros

Gas mileage, head and leg room front/rear seats, comfortable and easy to manuver

Cons

very little storage behind rear seat

Sweet. Toyota built!!! I purchase a Honda CRV for myself and the Scion XB for my son. I soon wished I had the XB and believe it or not my son would not switch with me. XB gets much better fuel economy and appears to be as peppy on acceleration. Noise level is unbelieveably low for a four banger! Price was considerable lower compared to the CRV....read morehide

Pros

Interior room is great, fuel economy is great, reliability is above average

Cons

Rear seatbelts are difficult to connect, windshield wiper lever is easy to accidentally move

I didn't realize how much attention this car would generate. Many people come up and ask what kind of car this is, and most opinions are positive.
I think it is fun to drive, and enjoy the many gas stations I can drive by without stopping.

Pros

Good economy, useful little critter

I am short and have arthritis in both knees, so I have trouble getting into and out of a lot of vehicles. Not this one. Easy in, easy out. I love it. And it is cute as a button.

Pros

Roomy, eye catching, economical, nicely equipped

Cons

Rides a little rough, underpowered

I've had my xb for about a month now. I actually bought it without test driving it as my wife liked it and I trusted her and the reviews I have read about it. I am extremely happy with it and am glad I made the purchase. it has been everything I expected and more. Though it is a little underpowered (This has been dealt with in 2008 models), it has been just fine for my taste. I mainly drive around town but have taken it on the highway many times and it has handled it just fine. I highly recommend this for a commuter car or someone who is looking for a good combination of economy and room. The back seat is VERY roomy for a car in this class!...read morehide
