2006 Scion xB

Pros: Customizable, Spacious, Unique Looks

Cons: Windshield chips/cracks, sluggish engine, rough on bumps

The Bottom Line: Because of the windshield chipping/cracking constantly; I have had 7 windshields in 6 months, I cannot recommend this car. It is fun, it is unique, it is also a headache.

Review: First off I really did love my xB and I think Scion made an interesting product with its boxy shaped step-child. I have owned my xB since August 06 and have thoroughly enjoyed it most of the time. I had all sorts of bells and whistles added to the...

Pros: price, Toyota quality, mileage, room

Cons: no trunk, others stare at you

The Bottom Line: Great bargain if you don't mind the quirky appearance

Review: When I first saw the XB, I thought "wow, what an ugly car.. who would drive that thing?". Then, I got in one, and answered my own question, which was, "smart folks, that's who".

I was shopping for a car and had test driven the Toyota Rav...

Pros: Room, fuel economy, style.

Cons: It's perfect for me!

Review: This little toaster is the best car on the road right now in my opinion.

According to AAA: "All things considered, for the most energy-efficient vehicle, you can't do better than a Scion XB".
(They are rating the 2006, the new one is...

Pros: Interior room, MPG, has 'character', styling, seats, slick 5-speed shifter

Cons: complex stereo, interior panels scuff easily, paint chips easy, dealer prep poor, rust spots

The Bottom Line:

2 1/2 years 76k miles, almost no problems. An excellent used-car buy, and it's weird-looking too!

Review: 2 1/2 years UPDATE !! After 2 1/2 years and now 76,000 miles, only one strange problem to report. Various check engine lights kept coming on, dealer said code was a timing problem code number. Very strange, said they only see this on cars with like...

Pros: The head to toe room!

Cons: The trunk is on the small side.

The Bottom Line: Buy this car! You won't be sorry I promise!

Review: I love this car! And so will anyone else who rides with you, especially in the back seat! There is so much room back there. Even people who may not like the way the outside of the car looks will fall in love once they get inside. I URGE anyone who...

Pros: Price, unique design,sound system, warranty, first 3 oil changes free, cargo capacity, comfort

Cons: Limited stock, low front valance clearance, grained dash that catches every crumb.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for price, style and no haggle policy. Forget being 20 this car is for everyone!

Review: Okay okay, after driving various used heaps over the years and vowing NEVER to pay the overinflated prices asked for some of the new cars, I happened to notice a Scion XB parked at my college. Yeah, some pimply faced 18 year old with entirely too...

Pros: Lots of Features, upgrades, great mpg

Cons: Noise from wheels, low to the ground and no standard armrests

The Bottom Line: A very trendy car that appeals to the younger generation with multiple possibilities for cool upgrades and accessories.

Review: The Xb by Scion

A Car for the Future

The Toaster on Wheels...as some call it

Stand Out Features

The first thing that I noticed when test driving the Scion Xb was the speedometer, it is in the center of...

Pros: Comfort, Visibility, Gas Mileage, Generates Excitement

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: This is a great car, that is fun to drive, and saves money on gas.

Review: For the last couple of years, I have greatly enjoyed owning a 2005 Hyundai Elantra. It provided reliable transportation, with no mechanical breakdowns of any kind, and was kind to my wallet with outstanding gas mileage. It was with great...

Pros: Good price, comfort, performance, fuel economy.

Cons: It won't tow a cabin cruiser- buy a truck instead.

Review: We really like this vehicle! Although it is aimed at a younger and lower income market, it meets our needs with surprising comfort, power, and sports car handling. Our life style pretty much requires SUV's or mini-vans because we live in a...

Pros: Perfect city car, price, and standard features

Cons: It's a city car and price for extras

The Bottom Line: An ideal car for those single in the city. Gets you and friends around town both efficiently and stylishly.

Review: The City Car that Could

My personal experience is with a 2006.5 Scion xB 5-speed manual that I purchased 3 weeks ago. The differences between the 2006 and 2006.5 is some of the cloth used on the trim and there are radio controls on...
