2004 Scion xB

Pros: Roomy,simple controls, funky styling,decent fuel economy
Cons: Tranny needs higher gear. Way to noisy at 73 mph. Cheesy hardware. Radio controls

Owned 6 mo. The box is alot of fun. Better commuter/city car than highway cruiser. Waiting for more aftermarket upgrades.

Pros: Unique style, body fit and finish, economy, spunky, and ROOMY.
Cons: Road noise

I would have never expected to be driving a hot lava 1500cc shoe box, however, I am. This unique little auto has everything I wanted in an inexpensive, solid, reliable, economical, urban commuter. The rising cost fuel motivated this 40 something professional male to trade a heavy SUV for the most practical auto I've ever owned. I would not be surprised if a trend such as mine evolves. SCION has delivered on its promise and exceeded my expectation for a small urban commuter.

Pros: Huge interior space, catchy styling, standard everything.
Cons: Stiff ride, Fuel mileage, Noisy interior at freeway speeds.

I absolutely love this little car, when I first purchased it there where few on the road, and people would look at me as if I were in a space ship. I had originally intended on buying another Toyota car, but when I sat in the XB in show room I couldn't fill out the purchase agreement fast enough. I was highly attracted to the interior space and the seating position and overall layout. I have loaded a complete dinette set in the back to the amazement of the sales person. I could not find a car in this price rage with the level of standard features this car has. On the down side I am disappointed with the fuel mileage 25 MPG Average And the severely stiff ride. I am in my mid thirties and recovering from a severe back injury so the ride was a big complaint, I had a full air ride suspension installed and now it rides like a Cadillac.

Pros: Roomy but small, economical, so-o-o stylin' and love to drive my xB
Cons: Need front seat armrests, cruse control, more hp and more inside lighting

Love the head turning looks! Fun ride, good gas mileage, roomy inside this box, easy to maneuver due to its compact size, great standard extras, and love that style.

Pros: Toyota made, price, head & leg room, tons of aftermarket accessories
Cons: hubcaps, no sunroof option, booms if you hit bumps, windy days & xB = no-no

I have to admit the xB is pretty ugly, but it's ugliness is kinda cute. I either had to get an xB or have nothing at all because my dad wasn't going to buy me an Audi TT or VW Beetle which I had originally hoped. He has a stigma against German cars. I couldn't complain. I got the xB for free so not much I could say. Anyways for the price of the thing, you get some pretty good features.
