Hey everyone!

What is the "one" thing that you like most about your Scion???

The are many positive things, but what is the one thing that made Scion the car for you???

For me...it was the spacious room!

for me, it was the price and value (versus other cars)... Everything I wanted/needed for under $14k was perfect.

Don't think it was any one thing. It was more of the whole thing.

i luv the value for such price, the handling, and the gas milleage (30 city - 34 hwy)
I also love the exterior cause it's so damn unique, sexy and JDM style.

The interior space ( Front seats, rear seats and head room ), the surprisingly quick engine, relatively comfortable seats and decent handeling for a car priced in the low economy range! As others have said, it's a very good buy for all you get.

There were several reasons I ended up getting a pair. The price for what you get overall was definately the biggest factor. In the end it was $6000 cheaper than other vehicles with the same features for what we needed.

The whole package. looks, versatility, gas mileage, interior room, add-ons galore

If I had to sum it all up, I would just have to say it's a fun car to have! :D

I like the entire package!

If I had to pick one thing, it would have to be the ease of entry and exit. The one thing I hated about my last car, is that it sat so low to the ground, it was hard to get out of on an incline (my driveway).

Cool story........
Older guy and his daughter pull up a little past me and my girl in a 355 Ferrari(the old school Magmun PI ____e). Anyway he was gonna do a little sneak in with his mortgage on wheels. .........
so I inch up right next to him, his t-tops are down and he is pimpin(Urkel would look like a pimp in that ride...lets be real people), so I give him the rev of the little vvti 4 banger under the hood.
He looks over and goes, "Holy ____.....that thing is awesome". "What is that?. I said you better watch out cause I got 100 ponies waiting to do the jig on your Italian exotic.....totally not serious here people, and he smiles.
He was totally impressed and thought it was an excllent looking ride. Props from an exotic owner, proof positive you don't gotta make Britney Spears money to turn heads.
Thats the best thing about this Tuner of a Toaster.

Sweet! Same happened to me with a guy that has a 360 Modena while I was washing it.

The Magnum PI car was a 308. Definately was not the 355 since it didn't exist at the time.

All very good answers so far. I agree with them 100%. The thing that does it for me, since I have a Hot Lava, is the rarity of the color. That coupled with the odd shape makes it a real head turner.

1 day and I've had like 7-8 people ask me questions about it. Most common seems to be a tie between, "whats that?" and "can I see inside?"

BIG inside
little outside

Just what I wanted and does it better than any vehicle short of a TARDIS.

Holy Shiite! A Dr. Who fan.

I thought you all died of MADCOW!

Anyways..
I we need a word kinda like VW's FARGHFERGNEUGEN to explain the total experience of this vehicle. My Mom digs it for HER reasons. My nephews dig it for THEIR reasons. I dig it for My own reasons. 3 generations covered... and these are only being marketed to gen"Y"... :roll:

UUUBER-PIMP!!-- that's my word.

BIG inside

That was it for me. Took the test drive and just could not wrap my head around the fact that this little car felt so big behind the wheel. Kind of an Alice in Wonderland effect.

The right look for the right price...along with the 2tone paint job.

The fact that it is the easiest car in history to drive in tight places. The shape of the car makes it easy to know where all 4 corners are at all times.

The way the stereo changes color. Also, when you are driving it, its the SUV drivers who seem silly. All that bulk, so little usable space or gas milage. Suckers.

Yeah, that's it for me too. My other car (crashed now) was a '22 Ford T coupe. The same blessing: You can see all four corners of the fenders.

That T spoiled me against lesser cars with blind spots. The Xb is today's Model T: Basic, solid, adapatable, customizable. Easy in easy out- unlike the Element test driven yesterday.

I would definitely say the price for the total package and what you get, but since I'm ___ up over end with a high payment from my stupid hyundai santa fe trade-in, thats not an option anymore ;)

I will say I love the fact that it turns heads everywhere I go...Even with the growing popularity of the Scions around SoCal and seeing them around a lot more: People still seem drawn to my Lava and smile when they see it :)

Efficiency

of space, gas mileage, and price. I thought it was an overall smart vehicle. I'm so glad that someone had the good sense to design the xB, and that it made it to production, and finally to the dealer lots! It's most everything I want in a car.

The fact I can drive a cheap economy car that doesn't like a cheap economy car. I ask everyone I know how much they think an xB would cost, everyone says something between 20,000 and 30,000. When I tell them its base is 14,000 and mine with the options was 17,500 before taxes, they are all shocked.

My xB is the first car my wife and I fit in without any trouble. btw, combined we are over 13' tall :D so having some legroom was great. My first keyless entry too, the other day we're at a sandwich shop and people were constantly stopping to stare at it. Anybody who touched it looking in set off my "security system", ie me hitting the panic button until they stepped away. They had no clue what was going on. Very fun! Averaging 33mpg and all the standard features is great too.

The "One" thing I like about the Scion is the set price. I hate haggling. I've had bad experiences before with car dealers. Buying a Scion has been a pleasurable experience.

hTXb
07-02-2004, 03:12 PM
the overall practicality of it...
(i.e. the price, the interior room, the gas mileage)
all in all, it's a great car...although i DO miss the power and performance of the M3 i had before this... :(

4 me it was the price for a brand new vehicle. I never thought I would be driving a brand new car (box) lol. I really love everything about it. I just luv it!

It's just fun to drive. There's nothing else like it out there and I love it.

I like the way the headlights shine through the turn signal section. Just looks neat with stripes going out the left and right of the vehicle. A close second is the built in rolling tray in front of the passenger above the glovebox.

Fun Factor/value. Incredible amount of room and over 30 MPG. Every time I went and drove something else, then came back and drove the xB again, my smile kept getting bigger. Now my mouth hurts all the time :lol:

My wife and I did so much research on so many cars and the XB (and XA) were the only ones that fit our requirements...

The room, price, gas mileage, doodads, and of course, the unique styling.

So we bought both! We used to have a set of Azteks so you can see how our personalities are :)

I love it when my box converts the haters into lovers. :lol:

Everything I love about my box has been said already by others. The funny thing about Elements is that I've been seeing a lot more of them than usual since I've gotten my box. Whenever I see em, I cant help but snicker at its ugliness.

I love everything about my xB. But most importantly, I think I like the Scion 'comradery' (sp?) the most. I had a Civic prior to this and other Honda/Civic drivers mean-mug when you try to give 'em an approving thumbs up on their ride/mods. It's like a brotherhood. :D
