  • a fun car with the bulletproof Camry engine

    I bought this car new in 2014 and I loved it. I still love it. It's got 160k and my 16yo is now driving it and he loves it, everyone knows it's him. I got a new RAV4 2022. This scion xb has the same engine as my 2005 Camry. Love it.

  • 2nd Scion l have owed and both have been super rel

    One of the best reliable cars then and now even though the Scion brand is done and that’s too bad but the Toyota brand has always had my attention then and now never had any problems with both of them and when I decide on a new car like new Corolla and hybrid Camry both cars will allow me to retire from my job in about one year and retire into the sunset in a great car

  • Most dependable and Fun and practical vehicle ever

    It's fun, quick, versatile, fuel efficient, "fun" looking and I would drive it myself to anywhere for work or fun and my teenager hates that he's about to get his license and I'm selling it! LOL Toyota and Scion made a great team here. This should never have been discontinued...or the scion brand. This was their best car all around.

  • Lots of room, zippy, & inexpensive.

    This is the third XB that I have owned. An ' 06, '11 & 14. Only down side, it should get better gas mileage, but I currently get about 29-30. Has more room than people think. Wish they were still for sale!

  • Great commute vehicle

    Purchased vehicle specifically for a 30 mile commute. Best traffic vehicle I have ever driven. Responsive and quick. Maneuverability is excellent and necessary considering that NO ONE in traffic pays attention to the road any more. Most people are on their cell phones. Observe for yourself, if you are not too busy being the person causing problems in traffic because you are on your phone instead of paying attention to the ROAD.

  • My third xB. Pity they quit making them.

    I like everything about it except that it doesn't have the little storage compartments overhead that my 2009 Scion xB had.

  • Loved this car- very safe!!!!

    I've owned two of the scion xb's. But the second one I found off of cars.com. It was exactly what I needed for my family if 4. I got into an accident in November, which was a severe accident. The car maneuvered well and every airbag deployed (all the way around the inside of the vehicle). I will be searching on cars.com for my 3rd Scion xB !

  • Great little wagon

    This is my 2nd XB. You have to know what to expect when you are getting into a Scion. It is made to be an inexpensive/reliable car with not many frills. It is exactly that. What people do not realize is the amount of Toyota backed add-on's that are available for these cars. All covered by the factory warranty. Very cool. Wish they would have stuck with this brand.
