2006 Scion xB review from North America
"Thank You Toyota, for making Scion such a great release!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely zero has gone wrong with this car... I have only had it just over 5K miles, but so far I'm very pleased... Costs nothing to maintain, even the first 3 oil changes are on the house with any new Scion purchase... So far, I only have a few complaints about this car... 1) Seats are not the most comfortable ever. 2) A major pain to drive going down the highway on a windy day, get pushed all over the place. 3) Rear wiper is useless...
General comments?
This car is perfect for a daily commute, like a college student or otherwise... The interior is plain, but very stylish, with the gauges in the middle of the dash... The Black Paint on my Xb is better than any black I've ever seen... Super dark black, with a very reflective quality... NICE!! I got many TRD EXTRAS on my car out of the factory, which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The exhaust, well worth it, intake, also worth it, and the strut bar looks great... I also got fog lights, door sill chrome trim, Vent visors (not from dealership), Super thick TRD floor mats... OHHHH... This car is FUN... Not the most powerful thing on the planet, but sooner or later every driver will realize there is more to a car than just grunt... This Xb has everything else, and I won't trade it for 200K miles... Its all MINE!!!
