Used 2006 Scion xB Consumer Reviews
Fantastic Little Car
This car turns heads. I think it was the looks I first noticed. Before I even considered a car in this class, I liked the look of it. I like distinctive cars. Then I drove it, and was sold. This thing is huge amounts of fun to drive. In fact, it's huge in a few ways. Huge fun to drive. Huge room inside. Huge potential for making it *mine*. Huge attitude! And small in others. Small small fuel consumption. Small price tag. Small on the road. Economical? Fun? Cheap? Eye catching? There is very little to not like.
Fun to drive
I traded in my luxury van for better mileage. At first I thought I had made a mistake because I have had vans for 14 years so this was a big jump backwards at first thought. I've driven it for a few days now and I actually like it, the mileage is great and it's fun to drive. Thought this was only for the younger crowd but everyone I see driving it is my age (almost 40) or older. Glad I made the decision to buy a Scion xB I think I'll be real happy when I finally need gas!

Love My xB
I have owned my xB for one month now and I could not be happier with it. It is so fun to drive and is a real head turner. Even my Dad who bought it for me, more because of Toyota's reliability has really started to like the looks of it.
Tardis (bigger inside than outside)
The Scion xB is comfortable, practical, safe, reliable, and a good value. Get in another car afterwards and you feel cramped. Its fuel economy about what Edmunds statistics predict. (A hybrid version would be good.)
My Fun Scion
This is the best car I ever had. People stare at the strange box, but it runs great and has lots of space. I have a bad back but the seats offer good support and I don't get out stiff from riding. I have to be careful about the speed. It has lots of get-up-and-go power and easily cruises at 80 to 90 mph. The only thing missing is a cruise control option. The 4 cyl 16 valve dual OHC engine was borrowed from the Toyota Echo and is smooth and quiet. The 160 watt Pioneer stereo is a joy to play.
