2004 Scion xB Reviews, Pricing & Specs

When I bought this car, my wife was not pleased. She felt it was too boxy and ugly. After a couple of weeks, she totally fell in love with it. Easy to park, great visibility (almost an SUV's perspective of the road), and loads and loads of cargo space. The unique style grew on her, and we've enjoyed this car for years now. At over 130k miles, we've definitely gotten our money's worth. Still seeing ~29 MPG regularly. The whole family will be sad to see this one go.Sep 13, 2012

i loved the appearance when i bought the car, but after a while without hitting things or overusing the back door, the handle to open the truck just falls off and hangs there, which isn't very appealing. i get decent gas mileage which is good since i drive far for work. everyone who has driven my car thinks its fun to drive like a little go cart they call it. i like the car although they could have made it so stuff doesn't fall off.Jul 26, 2010

Performance is good, not great though, 0-60 MPH, is not fast, but it is a car to cruise in, if you really want to race then pimp it out. Has not broken down yet, it wont, i hope for a loooong time. Looks are Unique. noting like this anywhere, interior is HUGE, for such a car, much bigger then any car we have. Bunch of space everywhere. MPG are good, maintenance is good also, pretty cheap to take care of it. Now i got to tell you, this is my favorite car to drive, from all the cars i ever driven,That's a Fact. Take a test drive for a day and you might own one yourself. Jun 09, 2009

With the TRD springs and shocks, this box handles like no other; the ride is pretty comfortable and firm enough. The stock Pioneer sound system is pretty decent. Safety, what safety! The only downside is the power, it's good for daily commuting, but I wouldn't spend a dime on aftermarket parts to make this any faster cuz it will be a waste of money for this kind of a car. It's roomy everywhere else beside the cargo compartment. Overall, it's gives a good bang for your bucks.Aug 31, 2008

Performance is on par with the 1.5l engine from the Echo. Build quality is everything you've come to expect from Toyota. Naturally some hate the look. I love it. The cost to own is low what with the 30 miles per gallon and the only failed part so far being the lighter. It's definately fun to drive. Plenty of looks with my custom paint and super rare wheels.Aug 27, 2008
