Pros: What do you like about 2005 Scion xB?
I like everything about this car! I'm 6'4" and the Xb fits me just right even if I have to sit in the back seat. I have 180,000.0 miles on it and have never had to take it to the shop to get work done on it well besides the stuff like tires, breaks and oil changes.
Overall a good and safe car. I got hit by a drunk driver in it and that told me it would cost 10,000 to fix it but I had the same work done for under 2,000 that just tells you that the insurance company was trying to get my car for them self because it is a good car. I would not sell my car for anything. This is the cheapest car I have bought but the best one I have had!
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Scion xB?
The high rpm's on the freeway and the two little grill pieces that keep coming off.
2005 Scion xB Review:
I see that most people talk about it not having a arm rest but you can buy one from the dealer. So anything I don't like about it I fix it put what I want on it. But the only think that I did not like was the high rpm's on the freeway but other then that I could not ask for a better car!

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Scion xB?
My fiance is wheelchair bound and must transfer in-and-out of the car using just his arms. For this reason, we needed a car low to the ground so he could transfer in-and-out easily with a downhill advantage. At the same time, we need a large trunk space to fit his wheelchair. This car answered all of our prayers! My fiance has no trouble at all transferring, and we don't even need to fold his wheelchair when we put it in the trunk. It makes everything easier and faster. I love everything about it from the gas mileage to the suv-feel. It's a wonderful little car. OH! And the AC works almost instantly. Within seconds of turning on the car the air is ice cold. There are so many things that I love about this car, we could not be happier!
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Scion xB?
The only thing I can really complain about is that there is no arm rest on the passenger's side. But that's not really significant enough a reason to give the car anything but a perfect review.

Interior room and versatility.
Easy entry and exit for an "OLD FART".

Economical.
Toyota reliability.
Visibility.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Scion xB?
Make my 2005 xB never wear out because if I had to replace it today, I would buy a KIA SOUL instead of an overweight, fuel thirsty, sucky visibility, "can't leave a good thing alone" new generation xB.
