Best Car I Ever Owned

The Scion Xb is the most fun car to drive that I have ever driven. The inside visibility of the car is second to none and the seats are really comfortable. The only three things that I would add are: (1) an armrest for the driver (2) a few more horsepower and (3) a temperature gauge for the engine instead of a warning light for high engine temperature

This is the best car I have ever owned. It is fun to drive, has lots of interior room for its size, gets great gas mileage and has a unique appearance. Even in the snow it handles very well. Unlike most small cars, the passengers sit high up, which allows better visibility.

im only 17 years and my parents bought this in Illinois when it first came out in 2005. We used our scion ( his name is DJ) for 6 trips from IL to FL. i now live in FL and when i turned 16 my parents gave me the car. I love it so much! now has 250,000 miles and still runs like a top! only con that is probably because it is 15 years old is the windows start not rolling up, and the AC broke in 2018 and had to be fixed.however it is very spacious and for a high schoolers budget... amazing on gas!!!

A neat boxy beast

I've only had my Scion xB for 10 days, but I really like it so far. It has a lot of room inside, such that my son can fir in it without slouching. The sound system is great, and the XM radio is fantastic. Add the MP3 player and I'll never have to listen to standard am/fm crud again... All in all, I would say that this is a lot of car for the money. It seems to be marketed towards younger people, but thats a little foolish: a good value is just that, good. My last Toyota lasted 'till 273K miles; I have every hope that this one can do that as well. It isn't boxy, it's cute... --STeve Andre' (wb8wsf)

It's FUN to drive, looks cute, commands attention. The gas mileage attracted me to it, then the unique look sealed the deal. I love it as-is. The only addition I plan to make to it is get some alloy wheels for it. It's the most original vehicle on the market. Scion did right where Honda went wrong with the Element. It's so incredibly roomy inside and I can carry four adults with PLENTY of room. It's cavernous for such a small car! I've got NO complaints about it at all, so far it's lived up to and beyond all of my expectations.
