2006 Scion xB Review - Manual & Modified!

[@ozzybee833]

I used it to move out of my old apartment. Took my dresser, boxes and flat screen all in one trip. ..also threw my full size mattress on top. It's my daily driver and my work vehicle since I do interior handy work. Reliable , good on gas , I love this car.

[@howssmith785]

One of the best cars you can get for a budget . I got two of these live in one . And both have 400k no issues.

[@djgettsom7879]

Wow!! 400k miles?

[@djgettsom7879]

I’m looking at a 2008 Gold Rush Mica Release Series with 170k miles/ there asking price/ I was able to bring down to $5,250/ I’m still hesitant/ but it does look clean/ well taken care of

[@jdaniels1313]

@@djgettsom7879 Big fan of Gen I Scion cars, but 2008 is Gen II I believe, so bigger engine IIRC 2.4 vs 1.5, bigger body, lower MPG, more power, but still Toyota Reliability.

[@uncleelroy6011]

I think they will always be loved by the ones who love them.

[@enterlematrix]

A real gem. My 2006 is a beater, but still rocking.

[@steveball3143]

I have (3) Gen1 xB s and xB trailer. I have started stock piling parts to keep my xB s rolling. A complete engine, maintenance parts, fenders, wheels.

[@wakawaka1976]

Awesome. What’s an XB trailer?

[@R3B_MusicOfficial]

Man I love the description, as a soon to be owner of a release 2.0 from '05 made me feel more connected to the car

[@garyclark6281]

230K miles and still going strong.

[@kore996]

I miss my 2005 XB 😢. It was starting to rust out and requiring too much work to keep going you’re in 🇨🇦. I tried to get it back on the road, but it wasn’t meant to be. I’d like to pick up another one, but they are extremely hard to come by… Especially in a manual transmission! The automatic is too sluggish

[@jdaniels1313]

Love my 2005 xB with 5-speed. Black also like the car reviewed. 243K and going strong! Just did front brakes and next need to replace the front struts.

[@_daveshadow6_o964]

Yesss keep the Scion content coming!!!! 👌🏼

[@LuminousPlasma]

Ayeeeee

[@Hankjones1]

I had 336,000 miles when I sold mine..loved it

[@MrLive2win]

And that 5 speed manual makes all the difference in the world. I have never seen one of these with the Weapons intake manifold performance piece, headers, computer chip . etc.. I'm sure those would unleash the little teeny weeny beast in the 1.5. Go Scion.

[@ToolsOutsideTheBox]

I have the WeaponR intake and OBX 4-2-1 header. Also the aluminum crank pulley and a shorty ram intake with the Blox cone filter. “Chips” aren’t really a Toyota thing (you have to ship your ecu off to be reflashed), so you can’t reasonably dial your ride in that way. What I’m working on right now, is tuning the MAF sensor for a larger housing, with a piggyback module.

[@MrLive2win]

@@ToolsOutsideTheBoxThe obvious questions- 1. No damage to the engine with the performance Mods? And is the power gain more low end or mid-high end torque increase? Is the difference slight or quite apparent? Thank you.

[@_daveshadow6_o964]

And that carbon fiber dash peice was factory! It was an oem extra cost option for 2004-2006 models

[@xXmasaroXx]

Dope review on a forgotten gem!!

[@Stix_57]

I am a little late to the toaster party here, but dang i soooooo want one of these first gens. I love the quirkiness of them and the reliability is pretty much second to none for boxy boiz. Once my tranny goes on my focus I just might get one, probably a high mileage manual one but still a toaster tho.

[@adrpals2324]

I have an envy green scion xB with 300000 miles and the original clutch. It runs great but does need a paint job. I bought it new and l love this car.

[@TimelessMotors]

I have two Rs3 , cheers mate, sell it to me if you ever get bored of it.

[@CautionHighWavesAhead-]

There's another cup holder between the front seats in the back of the center consol. You can push a thermos into the holder and the plastic is slightly flexible and it holds.

[@SafeTopps]

So glad I didn’t get a Toyota Corolla and got this instead 🌚

[@RadioKilla07]

The 1St Generation Scion XB's should be regarded as a collector item. They are also they only Car with that much Cargo room using a 1.5L engine

[@cv2010u]

Don’t care about the modified parts as long as I can still buy oem parts and maintain and keep it running for 500k miles.

[@oreally8605]

If Toyota/Scion put the 1nz 130hp motor in it Scion would still be around.

[@mrlouisvashi]

I have that exact same OBD2 thingy. It's awesome cuz it can scan codes , clear codes but mainly gives me the temp of the engine cuz this doesn't have a temp guage

[@ModelA]

Now I know why everyone calls these "toasters".

[@lynnracing5554]

Plain and simple they look like a toaster. The only response you would have if you drove one

[@WFO.]

Had two of them. Best little car. Should have kept them.

[@livinglargeandfree8322]

My 2006 Nardo Grey Xb that I painted is my baby.

[@ToolsOutsideTheBox]

A couple of minor details that Ben left out. 1. Mitsubishi vents 2. 2006.5 ONLY steering wheel BTW, there are still some OEM accessories that you can get from the dealership. I just picked up stainless steel xB door sill plates from Toyota and TRD oil cap. I just bought my ‘06 in March and it just crossed 77k. I have many of the same or similar customizations. He needs the Matrix/Vibe wiper stalk though Nice box 👍

[@jersonxb81]

Love my box i got to fit a 75 inches tv in the box 📦 that was crazy 😜

[@jaynunya5136]

I heard rumors that this car can go up to 400,000 miles. Another person told they had 420,000 miles before he totaled it.

[@grayandluis]

Mine has over a quarter of million miles 250,000 and counting, and still keep driving it

[@westhavenor9513]

I still don't get the rear "wiper delete" thing. What the hell is wrong with a rear wiper? It's not bothering anyone. And, that glaring silver plug looks like shit too.

[@absentstars474]

Water doesnt stick back there and it rattles a little bit. Some people put the wiper at a different angle as well. Its mostly just about looks.

[@tigercat0924]

Unfortunately, rust has taken a lot of these from us. I miss mine all the time

[@dave11686]

So cool!

[@static_Tricolor_camry]

I'm a Toyota car enthusiast but the Echo and XB and Yaris are not of my taste. The Front end of the first Generation XB is rather weird looking, the center dash instrument cluster gauges feels out of place rather then it being behind the steering wheel.

[@jdmandsuch6739]

The train has left the station... As far as Toyota nation

[@jasperherron5267]

"camped in the back of an XB" sureeee 😅

[@mrg4081]

I own a 2006 RS3 Envy green XB and have camped in the back numerous times. There's actually many people that have turned their XBs into stealth campers. Thinking about turning mine into one haha
