Love My Black Box
I am absolutely in LOVE with this car. I find myself making excuses to drive it. I still find myself looking back and smiling at my black box as I am walking away from it. It is fun to drive and with my extremely enthusiastic driving style, I still get about 28-30 MPG with mostly highway driving. The stock Pioneer sound system is awesome. Also, the huge side mirrors make changing lanes easy. The interior is extremely spacious and airy, so much so that I feel slightly claustrophobic when I get in normal cars. My only major gripe with this car is the small fuel tank. I find myself visiting the gas station 2x a week when with my prior car ('97 Honda Accord) once was plenty.
Love my Scion xB!
The Scion xB was a perfect car to follow my minivan, smaller but still with lots of space! It has versitility with its interior configurations, it has LOTS of ways to customize it, it can be spiffed up well. We have found it to be an incredible car in the snow and ice, it goes just about anywhere. It is tiny as all get- out outside and can park in small spots, yet it has an amazing amount of space inside, especially in the backseat and headroom. We get pretty good mileage, certainly better than most other cars, about 28 mpg - 36 mpg depending on the drive. Its pickup is understandably not like a V8, but it holds its own. It handles well, has a good braking system and is comfortable on long or short trips.

2005 Scion xB - Great Little Car
The Scion xB gets great gas milage, is inexpensive, looks great, and is a Toyota. With all the features standard it is a great value.
2005 Scion xB - Nice Car
The 2005 Scion xB is a nice car for the price. It is roomy with lots of compartments and even has an ice chest in the back. What else could a kid want?
Great Decision
I really needed a quality but inexpensive car for college and the Scion xB was the perfect thing. It gets amazing gas mileage, the room inside is great and I can appreciate it cause I'm 6'4 and it really is fun to drive. Of course it's no speed deamon but that's what you sacrifice for the gas mileage and price and I knew that going in. Since I've had it, three of my friends have gone into the process of getting one they love it so much.
