    That's one badass xB. Great car review. And I'm glad he caught you, David! Scion DID get it right. It wasn't until they started making "American" versions of the originals that they lost their way. Yes, the first gen was designed for a younger crowd and it did appeal to them! How do I know? I bought one! They also just so happened to appeal to an older crowd who were looking for something affordable, economical, dependable, AND easy to get in and out of. I'm on my second xB and it has 280,000 miles on it and it's still kicking ass.

    I bought a brand new five speed xB in 2006. I'm the reason they failed. I'm now 65. I actually took a friend for a drive and he and his wife bought his and hers xB's.
    As a musician I used that thing to haul a lot of PA equipment and people to gigs. At 160k miles I smacked a deer and just replaced the broken headlights on one side with cheap after market LED's. It now has 220k miles on it and it drives smooth as butter. I love driving that thing. We drove it from our old home in Seattle to our new home in Kentucky 8 years ago and I'll never sell this car, except to a junk yard when it dies. I expect to do the same with the six speed FR-S that now has 171k miles on it. Both are white.
    My wife drives an iA. Our other vehicle, a Silverado Z71 is a piece of jink compared to all these cars. Little stuff breaks on it all the time. These cars just don't break.

It had 200k+ miles, but it I hadn’t wrapped it around a tree I’d still be driving it. It got no respect at meets but it was mine and it was great. I’ll never forget that car.

    I have been waiting so long for you to review Itasha! I've always been a fan of itasha since my early days as an anime fan, and seeing you cross bridges and review everything is awesome despite your difference in taste! it's always been a dream of mine to itasha my car and this just supports that dream! Enjoyed the video :D

    Scion did not fail, the people fail to miss understand that Scion was still a reliable and, durable Toyota/Lexus platform based; People just did what they have always done best; follow what social media have to say.

    As a current owner of two Scions we love them. Toyotas with a bit of style
    We have a 2 Gen xB. A great family hauler. Is it the most stylish, no. Wonderfully useful, heck ya

    Scion almost worked but it came out when toyota was fully embracing the whole middle management/ageing baby boomers with bland cars. When they came out the Celica then turned TC was never a threat to the Civic SI or even had a version that was close to it. the XA was just odd. The XB was super practical but the people who were buying Toyotas saw them on the same lots at the lower price point and grabbed them killing any of the "cool" factor they could have had out of major metro areas. Then add in the recession of when the gen 2s came out and its hard to go out a buy a new car to mod when you could pick up clean 240s for a few grand at the time. They weren't bad cars just the timing was off and the market changed.

    I personally don't like the Car, but I like this dude. I own a first gen TC rn and it's something that is a great car. It genuinely feels much more modern when you go out driving. I even know people who have ones with over 200k and still haven't had any problems. The first gen tc and xb are great bargains for a first car.

    The 1st gen Xb is pretty underpowered, but it was still a fun daily with the 5 speed. Tons of room inside.

      The first gens had something the later ones didn't, a aggressive look. The later models looked too soft.

    That rowing thing... Trying to go up hill... That's the only reason I never bought an xB1. I have been in love with these cars for more than a decade and decided to get a first gen tC because it was sportier and had a little bit of guts. After driving Mini Coopers for the last year though my tC feels like a big sloppy boat, haha!
    The Scion scene is dead, but while it was there I made some of the greatest friends. I swear "Scion people" are some of the best people actually.
