Wouldn't Part With It!! Great Little Secret Of The Car World! — Bought my Scion XB 2006 about a month ago. Have already taken it on vacation to the mountains and it got 32+ MPG all the way. Drives like a sports car with the room or a big van inside! We packed for 3 adults plus ice chest and had plenty of room left. Love the shape, although I will never be able to hide out again! My grandkids love the DVD players in the head rests and they work beautifully. Bought this in pisteen condition so feel very lucky to have found it from a private owner. Still getting 32+ during everyday driving!

Bb Best Box — Amazing cars! and cute too! I got this on the very first day in 07 and loved it ever since! very easy car to do mods too so if your bulding a car its a great one to start on espically with a wide varity of parts. also it's amazing on gas millage avaraging me city around 36-38 and high ways 37-40mpg the car is amazing to drive too huge windscreen and many windows around it makes it very easy to see around and it handles like a dream with a tight enough turn radious to make a u turn on a two lane road. over all I love the Toyota bB or as there known in the states Scion xB's

Love My Xb! — peppy for the HP...great torque and acceleration!! Braking and handling are great since xB is so light weight needs few minor repairs great exterior paint; interior quality is lacking (stock) GREAT gas mileage; low maintainence!! Manual T's are fun!! ........................ ........................

Great Car For Someone Looking To Buy An Affordable Car While Riding In Unique Style. — Its a box; but on the other hand its good box. Great use of space and very unique styling. I loved the lights inside the car that could be changed between 7 different colors. The sound system was quite premium for the class. Comfort was great considering the class and this model sat high up like an SUV.

Everything you need/nothing you don't

Cons

No Cruise control and no 6th gear makes high speed travel a bit uncomfortable.

Pure Driving — Its not a performance car; but I drive in urban areas. It goes as fast as my 400 horsepower GTO in real world situations. Why pay for the gas and horsepower to not use it (or so I found out). It is designed with getting you from point A to point B as its sole goal. It yields nothing to style or luxury. Pure automobile. No living-room couch, no entertainment center, no V8 with zoomies. Its the perfect car for actually going somewhere. That being said. It does wind up a bit towards 65mph as if It wanted a 6th gear. Lacking cruise control, its hard for me to keep it at 70 (about 4k rpm) without watching the speedometer. Just sounds too wound out. But the speed limit is 55 here and rarely moving faster than 35.. so .. GTG. Its been 3 years, not a single trip to the shop. It's cost me exactly gas and oil to run it. Its not a man-mobile, but I feel so smart driving something that is so smartly designed. Still... not feeling like a stud climbing out of it; usually have kids in tow proving my manhood... so.. good enough. Actually just ordered the 2009 XB series 6 as I could not think of a better vehicle to replace the wife's 2door.

My 06 Scion Xb — alright well the acceleration is better than my first car thats for sure but it is not anything to write home about. it has a whioppin 103 horsepower but i am all for sacrificing horsepower for the ouitstanding 28-35 mpg. it handles like a little civic and is fun to drive. because it is so light it comes to a stop quite quickly and that is a plus. you either hate the box or u love the box. i am one who loves the box. being 6'3" it has ample space for me plus someone of my same size to sit behind me, however the width of the car is nothing special it is snug with two big people next to eachother. being a toyota the only maintanence ive done is a tune up. i would recomend this to anyone who likes a fun car with outstanding gas mileage!!

Little Package - Great Car — Performance is adequate for acceleration; excellent for braking & handling. I can only complaint about some little rattles in the cabin when driving on rough surfaces. This is a fun car to drive, period. Great gas mileage. The Japanese super-reliable Mini.

Thinking Inside The Box — So it's a bit ugly, not too fast, but this car has got more personality than any I have owned. Its a blast to drive (once a little suspension upgrade) gets great gas milage and has room for everyone. Not to mention the community of owners I have met. There are 1000's of mods for it and it is pretty simple to work on. Its a solid reliable car and is cheap!
