:?: I am considering a Scion Xb and was wanting to know if Scion owners would buy another one if they were currently looking for a car and why.

I bought another Scion, Because I simply thought.. I liked the car that much and immediatey felt even more connected to it's safety,(seatbelt on,both air bags deployed kept me alive....),and sporty style.

:shock: scion....Yeah!!

would I? I DID! :)

I would buy one of every color if i could, just think, my BOP on Saturdays, a TCM for Sundays, a BCP for Mondays, a BSP for Tuesdays, a Camo for Wednesdays, a PW for Thursdays, and a Hot Lava for Fridays....

Basically, yes, I would by this car over again...and again...and again... :D :D :D

i would, most definitely... probably won't have to though... it's a toyota, it'll last forever... :wink:

I'm thinking of trading my xA for a tC, but that's highly doubtful...

I drove my wife's lava today (I have a BCP) and I got that "what the hell, you have one for every day of the week?" I answered, "No, just my moods, Orange means violent".

Today was my last day at work :(

I liked the xB body style ever since back in the day looking at japanese compact cars in Japan and how square they are. Take one for a drive and you fall in love with it, I bought mine for 2 main reasons. 1 it is as square as a car can get which I love and 2 the back seat is easy to load a baby into due to the space in the rear and the height of the car.

Yes!

yes

yes ---- and most people who get in my xB want one as well.

Have a Xa waiting for the TC

I would buy it again, in a heartbeat. Once im done with the xB (not for a long time) or i have some more money, I will get a tC, then an xA. you get the idea tho, everyone says this about their own car (besides ford owners) but scions are amazing little vehicles. The tC is going to be a hit, and things will just get better.

Definitely. Considering upgrading my Sentra for an xA possibly.

Yes! a LAVA BOX! :lol: :lol: :lol:
MWAH! MWAH! MWAH!!!! how i wish I can have a LAVA next to my LOVELY xA.... :P :P :P

Had I known that the tC was going to be priced so cheap , I would have waited for it :P

It was either the Box or the Echo. I'll buy it again. Bone stock too, and this time, I'm not going to buy that cargo cover. :lol:

I def would..... Im trying to convince my mom to get an xB

We are 138

Yup, I definitely would do it all again. I love my li'l XA.

Nope, I would never buy another Toyota product again.
The door panels, Hood, and rear hatch are made out of aluminum cans.
The DEALERS ARE TOTALLY ____ING RETARDED!
And the Customer Service sucks, all the way up the corporate ladder.
The car just seems "REAL CHEAP".
Give me another American Car Please.
We have a Scion XB Hot Lava #0994.
All I can say is JUNK!

Sorry If I offend people, I am just speaking my mind.

Scion belongs to his wife. I like the honesty though. He does drive a Dodge Neon SRT-4. So, he'll spanks the xB silly all the time with the turbo :D

I own #1385 and to be honest with you, yes I would buy anouther XB without a doubt. However, I would not have purchased the Factory Driving Lights !

How in God's name could you compare "DODGE" with "TOYOTA"??? Are you kidding??? Dodge's are made with the parts Chrysler throws away. :roll: Everytime I see someone driving a DODGE, that's just what i do DODGE them for fear their inability to understand what reliability is will rub off on me. Only one american car that is reliable and that's a CADILLAC, sorry, I love the USA but it's true.

I'd def buy one and in fact i am buying another in a couple months to expand my business... i power wash houses and this car is great to tote my stuff around and more...when i get my roofrack, i'll be making more money doing bigger houses carrying ladders around, that way i can buy my second xB so i acn double my business and so forth....great on gas, incredible amount of space inside and really really comfoortable for a working vehicle.

It is 3 Weeks old today, the depreciation would kick my ___ If we traded it back in.
The car now has 1300 miles on it. I give them one thing, it does handle good stock.

My SRT-4 has 35,000 miles on it now and not one problem. I honestly think it will outlast this Scion.

And a Scion is? ? Parts that Toyota throws away?
I have run 15-18lbs of boost on my SRT since day one, and have not had a problem.
Throw a turbo on the Scion and lets see the boost it will handle with stock internals.
You can get about 530 WHP out of a SRT-4 on stock internals of the motor (2.4L)

These are two totally different cars, and in no way comparible. I never was comparing the Scion to Dodge in my post. I was just talking about their quality!

And you should Dodge everything on the road with that 108 HP especially big trucks, the windshields are made out of recycled glass bottles. I chipped our's with a CD, a plastic CD! Talk about cheap! I can break the CD on the windshield of my DODGE.
Maybe that is why these cars are so cheap.

BTW- My wife liked the car and the color and that is the only reason we still have it. She needs to live with it for a Year or Two.

No I wouldnt buy one again, and I didnt. I totaled my xB last year going less than 35mph and airbags didnt deploy(want to see the pic?). I loved the xB but now I own a ep3 (02+ civic si).

yeah, can you post the pic please?
I want to see how this pile folds up.
thanks

yeah, can you post the pic please?

thanksWe are on a Scion board for scion enthusiast. Not for people to bash them and call them junk. You said your honest part earlier. That's fine. Go back to your neon board if you want to bash them. It will not happen here. Drop the bashing now or else! See my title.

What color is your ep hatch? My friend has a white one, and I swear to god it looks like an easter egg... :lol:...but I do like them...drop a DC-5 motor swap in there and you will be kicking ___...mmmm...6-Speed Tranny...

yes

Im in no way bashing, just speaking what I think the truth is. He asked and im telling!
I would like to find out how these things do in a crash seeing that my son and wife ride in it everyday. I know I wouldn't want to be in a accident in my SRT because the airbags usually never come out in a accident.
Im just wondering how well this does.
I came here to learn more about the vehicle not to talk ____!
I like the forum nazi'ism though!
As for your "ScionLife Staff" Position Congrats! You are doing a wonderful job!

othe airbags didn't deploy? hmm that sux :shock:
I wanna see the pic too! :lol:

Absolutely. Never loved a car (that I owned) as much as I do my XB. :twisted:

pics of the accident please......

no i wouldnt. performance became a big issue for me. I thought i could live with its 108 hp but after a while it was unbearable for me. if i could do it all over i would of got something else. just my opinion.

Honestly, it's you WIFE'S car!!!!!! Not yours.You really have no right bashing something that you are not the regular driver of. I don't care if you've driven it just as much. And NO a SCION isn't parts thet TOYOTA throws away. It is a TOYOTA, in the same way LEXUS is a TOYOTA. In JAPAN There is only TOYOTA, and thats where these cars are made. Really, all your nonsense talk about what hp your NEON can do impresses no one. You'll find that no one here bought this car becuase they thought it was going to dust every other car on the road. The car costs 13-14,000. A Dodge Neon retails for $21,000!

"...this being a Neon, the cabin materials and design still lag behind cars like the Protege and Sentra." - Edmund's

Really, good luck with the NEON. Really. :roll:

where are the pics....and who in their right mind would pay 21K FOR A NEON.....LOL

Absolutly I would. I like the car. I wish it had a few more HP but all in all it is a good car for us. It looks cool, Has a ton of room. Gets good gas mileage. And has a bunch of standard features including Stabilty control & abs. No other car in its class competes. If they sold one with the 1.8L and 6spd I could replace my truck with it. Its just lacks the pep to pull a trailer so thats the only reason I keep the ranger. Well that and the ranger is paid for. In 4 more years when the bike is paid off we may buy another scion. I am very impressed so far with ours. The biggest down side I can find on the car is availablity of 5spd xB's.

is this a Neon forum? Who really gives a rats a$$ about the Neon. The whole subject of this forum is to see if you would buy a Scion again. Yes or No... Simple as that. No need to bash, if you don't like it, just say no. Yes the Scion is cheap and under powered, but we all knew that. For the money, it is the best buy in its segment.

I don't know. Line up a Matrix, Protege 5, and the XB and I could take any one of them.
I have no issues with my XB and like it enough not to want to trade it in, but I think I would feel just the same with the Matrix or Protege 5.

No more neon talk guys. Lets refocus on the question at hand. There has been good input on both the positives and negative. Lets keep that going. This has been a good thread. I don't want to see it locked.

Yes i would buy one again but next time just stock the add ons really cost alot and it would of been cheaper if I would of done it myself but my wife was to impatient so we got all the extras and now we have a car payment of 498 a month I also got the extended warrenty witch will last the life of the loan and uped for the extra insurence so if it gets stolen I pay nothing for a new one. Some of the things we added were 16 inch chrome wheels,spoiler,AEM cold air,rear bumper applique (witch is turning white already after 2 months) :( ,Door stills, 6 disc cd changer,(waste of money would rather put my own in) floor mats (there wareing away already) scion secruity system,cruise control (wouldent live without) and thats it. But stock is that way to go.Other than that I love my Xb, you can check it out in the registry.

Yes definitely.

I have a black ep3. I'll post pics when I get the kit installed.(only if you guys want me to)

no i wouldnt. performance became a big issue for me. I thought i could live with its 108 hp but after a while it was unbearable for me. if i could do it all over i would of got something else. just my opinion.

:) This makes me smile. See, I been driving a Model T Ford as primary transportatoin in a major big ___ city. And I got really used to 20HP/100 foot pounds of torque. I moved along with traffic OK except on the interstate where the 80 year old Model T topped out at 50 to 55.

Now that the T is dead- T-boned by a bone headed Lexus driver, I am getting the Scion Xb real soon. I took a couple of test drives.

WOW WHAT POWER! by comparison that is, and that is my personal theory of relativity. My other car is a Subaru SVX. Goes fast- had it at 140 indicated one time. But IF you got a car that gives fun in some other way- accelleration is really of small importance. The Model T taught me that much. Even in a Model T I coulc scoot around the typically half-witted cell phone drivers.

With the USA now owned by Arabs and Halliburton I think we should feel real good to use as little gasoline as we find convenient to not use. That means how low in HP can you go? Personal choice there. But by reverse training of expectations the Model T (2,000 pounds loaded) taught me that I could live with less than a quarter of the HP of a Scion Xb.

Padon this ramble, but I'm saying further about the power issue, that, if Scion offered a smaller engine the car would get better milage yet, esp. in City driving. And so :idea: I'd go smaller, more underpowered yet, becuase a) am used to it and b) there ain't no hills here.

Gasoline is still rising to a new high. It is entirely likely that terrorists will succeed in some dastardly attack just before the Nov. elections that will further raise fuel prices to a new historic high. Then who will be lauging at the drivers of all those Terrormobiles as I call gas sucking SUV's??

We will, that's who. :wink:

Yikes, what excues does Scion have for the failure to deploy the airbags?

As it is- I see by he pic and by your continued existance that crumple zone energy absorbtion and your wearing the seat belt saved your life anyway.

Thinking of all the cars I've owned in my half century of luck to be alive, how many of these would've let me walk away intact after a head on at that HIGH speed of over thirty mph? (just reminding that a header at even 10 per is an ENORMOUS conversion of kinetic energy to kinetic sculpture :(

1) '61 push button tranny Dodge with slant six and metal dash and no seat belts 2) '65 LTD with big, stupid 390 ci engine and 11,000 mile brakes tires, idler arm and water pump. It died in a 60mph broadside, btw. 3) '55 MB 190SL no seat belts or top or rollover bar. 4) '65 VW beetle. Seat belts but it rolled over. No fun in that. 5) '81 VW Rabbitt (golf) with diesel engine bought new during the second gas price crisis. No power, but I laughed at the pumps. 6) '85 Dodge Colt Vista Wagon (mitsubisti). Nearly the last of the cars with carburator and no clear coat. 7) '91 Subaru SVX. A great car but died due to stupid marketing. 8) the Model T mentioned in last post. It is/was a '22 coupe right out of Laurel and Hardy comedies.

What a strange list of cars, huh? You bet! I like -different- stuff than mainstream like all Scion people.

Yet, to save my life like the Xb saved your life in that frontal, only the SVX would've given me a chance to walk away.

And then, only if the airbag deployed (has only one, btw).

So- despite this Scion's serious failure to deploy the airbag I'd say it's quite a good thing to be riding in a Scion in the event of a head on, than in any of my previous cars. Why, in that Subaru with its low nose if I rear ended a Hummer they'd be scraping my brains off the Hummer's undercarriage next day. Not much work in that job I guess... :P

Scion should be very interested in explaining WHY your airbag did not deploy. Have they asked you about it? Did you report to the corporate office? What do they say at Scion?

without question
