I wasn’t mad for DAYS. 😒
More like weeks!
HAHAHA
Haha!! It’s like a bad joke that you can’t take back! It doesn’t matter anyway, fans like me (yes you have fans not just views and subscribers) see EDD as something that’s real, complete, and representative of a very cool marriage that wouldn’t be the same without you!!
🤣
I love my 05, been dumping money into that car and it’s getting more attention than my 18 sti, the feeling of riding it, the space, the zero blind spots, the reliability, the looks, the cool aftermarket parts, people won’t get it until they drive one.
Visibility almost made the list. There are zero blind spots, especially with a Broadway mirror. Thanks for watching!
I've had my '05 since new and hope to be able to drive it for the rest of my life or at least another 10 years. It only has 75K miles on it. Toyota is gradually discontinuing making parts for it, unfortunately, which is a concern.
Man I wish I had money like u to dump into my xb. Mechanically it’s great and I picked up an 05 manual a couple years ago for 2.5k, but it looks like crap. Every auto shop wants at least 2k to fix up. Now my wife is making me sell it so we can get a new car.
@@bullisht1443 Don't do it! Spend the money on fixing it up instead of buying a new car. You are sitting on a classic. There will never be another car like it.
I’m 16 with an 05 Camry should I make this switch
I bought mine for the fuel milage. Fell in love with how it handed. Like a go-cart....parts are cheep....and my little girls LOVE IT. Much to my wife's dismay. 😆
I agree but my top 5:
1. Aesthetics (love how they looks especially lowered with some nice wheels) it's 100% a head turner!
2. Reliability (it's a Toyota utility box, you can't go wrong)
3. Space (It truly is the biggest little car)
4. Car audio sound quality (It's like having a speaker box in a speaker box, the bass you get with a minimalistic setup is incomparable and I worked in the audio industry before)
5. Driving experience (it's like driving a big rig box, the seating and steering wheel are setup in the most comfortable and natural way you can get)
Very close to my list. I'm not an audiophile so the sound thing isn't a big deal to me. Thanks for watching and sharing your list!
I never turn on the stereo and I don't care for the lowered look (I think the car is pretty low as is), but everything else is on my list, too. Every other car, no matter how big, feels like a submarine after the xB.
I barely ever have the radio too.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers And I thought I was the only one.:)
I find it very uncomfortable
I owned mine for 15 years now, and it's still going great! I love my Box, and I would never let go of it. My kids are now driving it, and they still think it's not as cool as I think it is. Once they are done driving it, and have their own cars, I'm taking it back from them. Reliable, fun to drive, very roomy, looks very unique, and just overall, a great platform. I first saw it when I was in Japan in the early 2000's, and was ecstatic when they announced that they gonna sell it here. Glad I got mine after. Keep the Toaster Tuesdays coming!
what do you do about rust damage?
Can a person almost 6’ tall sleep in the back?
I had a little girl laugh at me. “Hey Mister, you got a Clown Car” 😮
@@williamperri3437if you are intoxicated enough- yes.
So glad to see toaster Tuesday is back!
You really inspired me to work on the cosmetics on mine, I'm so excited.
Mine has almost 400k miles now.
That is awesome!
That’s a great summary of the cool features of the box. For me, there’s nothing comparable to the drive. Feels sporty, fun, easy to drive, easy to park. It’s like the best go-cart ever made but still a highly functional vehicle. Some smart guy with bank should reintroduce them to the market!!
If Toyota remade the gen1 I would buy one for each of my kids and me too. Easy to work on and take care of. great cars.
Hey, Toyota, re-release electric or hybrid versions of these cars!
The xB is the cutest ugly car. I haven;t had a reaction to a car like that since seeing the ‘60’s VW bug. I think the Scions have personality, as well as great engineering.
I loved my 2006 XB. Nothing like a toaster on wheels.
Own 04 xb for over 15 years, over 225k miles, original clutch and love how light weight it is, especially when driving through mountain and curved roads
Same here 04 xB 227k i’ve had mine two years the only thing I had to do is change a wheel bearing this week Man what a pain in the butt
Haha how you make the clutch last so long? I bought mine at 200k and had to give it's third clutch a few months later
Scion xB 06, it’s easy to drive & parking. Because the both axle are front end & rear end. I love this washer machine so much.
I have an 05 , no cruise no frills , and I’ll take it over anything made in the past 15 years from JDM … it’s a great car /suv
Agreed!
I love everything about my 05 XB! Just not the oil burning part! Mines currently at 240K miles 😂
In my experience, it's rare that a first gen burns oil. The second gen on the other hand....
Like you, I had a xB back in 2003, then bought a 2006 in 2018 as my choice for a daily driver. My wife just doesn’t understand, but I love driving this box. I only have 125k miles on it now (third owner), but it’s so spacious and reliable. In 2020 I amazed my wife when I packed it to the gills and drove it from Detroit to Florida. Got more sh!t in the box than in her larger Cadillac XT4. Ever since that trip we call it the Wunder Box. If the engine ever dies I’m thinking about converting to electric….never gonna let this little toaster go!
I’m 18 I was in a Lyft and the driver had this car and absolutely loved it . Where’re can I get affordable one ? I want this for my first car no doubt
Craigslist for us. We've had two of them. Should be able to find one under 5K easily.@@casuallym3
I feel the same as you do about my Scion Xb. I fell in love with the orange scion xb that came out with the 1st addition. I ended purchasing a 2005 Camo green scion, then traded it in for my 2006 Torched Penny Scion. Everything you said in the video is true and I've hauled so many things that I couldn't agree with you more. I smile every time I see it.
Right on! Thanks for watching!
You've inspireed to restore and bring mine back to life. Keep this going! Looking forward to Toaster Tuesdays again!!
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
It was great to see the return of Toaster Tuesday, even if only for three weeks. But all of your videos have been and will be great. I watched the ride in the Prelude last night, which I had never seen before. It dawned on me that the reason I enjoy your channel is because I can learn a lot, but also because of how you do the videos. You, and Kelli--i hoped I spelled that right--as well, are so genuine and enthusiastic. That really sets your channel apart. I hope-and suspect-other subscribers believe likewise. Regardless of the vehicle you are currently building, the information is valuable, but the passion you both exude is special. Thanks for all your efforts. Good luck and much success with the Jeep build. We'll be watching.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We really love these cars even if sometimes we want to pull our hair out. I'm glad it comes through in our videos. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel.
I have a 05 Scion xB also and I still love it I love everything about it I love the space on it ppl think there’s not a lot of space on it but can judge a book by its cover... most definitely I love the head turns 😍
It’s such a polarizing car. I think that’s another top reason. It gets the job done for sure!
it is indeed a timeless design. only an xb owner can understand
Agreed.
yah toasters rock! so glad i found your vids! theyre so fun to drive as well. ive done several of your upgrades already thanks to your clear and concise vids. thanks alot my box is looking better every month.
Nice!! Glad to hear they are helping! Thanks for watching!
Glad you posted this video, been looking towards replacing my 03 echo, currently at 239,000, rockin car, but way too abused, however still picks up and go, Best $500 spent. Looking towards an xB. Thanks again
I remember when they first came out. I wanted one but as a student in high school, no money. 17 year later I finally got one and I love it so much. No power but Super reliable.
The endless possibilities! You can build this platform however you want! 🤩🤘🏽
Great video dude. Good to see the toaster back. I bought my black manual 2006 brand new and it still puts a smile on my face when I drive it. I just finished putting in a whole new stereo (Pioneer & Focal) and I love it even more now. So easy to work on, and you can still get small parts from the dealer ... what a great car!
That was something I was considering for the list, "easy to work on," however, it really depends on your experience level. Hopefully my videos have helped! Thanks for watching!
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers They have indeed, thanks! I was amazed when I went to remove the dash and it came out so easily, all in one piece. Almost like Legos :-)
100% agree I’m at 233,336 miles and I’ve only needed to replace the starter, alternator, and blower motor. These things are so nice
55,000miles on my Scion, and 0 problems.
I bought mine 18 years ago. Still have it as my daily.
I agree 200% I’ve fell in love with mine!
I've owned mine (white with blue racing stripes) for 15 years, it has almost 200k on it. Never had a problem aside from the water pump recently. I love it and I'm keeping it forever! Glad to see when it gets some love on UA-cam.
Thanks for sharing!
I recently inherited a 2005 Scion xB and I was going to sell it until I drove it for a few days and fell in love with it
I think I'll dump some money into it, only at 210K miles
I have an xA and still love the thing. First time I drove it, it reminded me of driving a go kart and still does.
I love my ‘06 xB too! Same reasons, basically. Love the unique look, interior space, ride/drive, and reliability. Yeah, I’m having a hard time finding any aftermarket tuning stuff like sway bars and suspension kits.
Check out my other videos. I have links to all of that stuff. Start there.
I love my 05 scion xb...toaster mafia for life!!!!
We've owned two 05s since new, one with 350k and the other with 330k miles thanks to our petsitting business. We're buying a 2nd gen 08 today to add to the family.
Can't begin to say enough good things about these little beasts. Zero blind spots, room for five bales of hay (we have a horse) and just damn fun to drive. We owned a Corolla and a Camry for a while and while they were typical Toyota quality, they just didn't compare.
Trust me, I'll be here every Tuesday. What part of Florida are you in? We're in Longwood, just north of Orlando.
Love the theater screen size windshield and head room. Feel like i can see EVERYTHING around me. I added an extra large rear view mirror as a nice bonus too.
my favourite thing about the bB
CHEAP ON GASSSSSSSS and it looks gangsta af with being JDM at the same time
I just love my 2006 Scion XB, I've owned her since I got her in 2007 brand new , 2006 model was the last yearfor the toaster before they brought out the new Scion XB model for 2008.
Love your first Xb purchase story. That reallyy embodied guys' love for their cars.
Thank you!
Fast forward to march 2022... WOW THE XB HAS CRAZY PANTS GAS MILEAGE! Which was why as a 6' 5" tall guy I fell in love with the car during the 07-08 gas crunch. All these years later, still the daily driver! The '72 Charger was $20 per day in gas, the xB is $24 per WEEK in gas. Gotta love it!
Totally agree! I still loving my 05 2.0 series toaster!
You have one of the dopest gen 1 xb's hands down! All the good parts and tastefully built. I've owned 3 and I'm currently building one now. Had to replace rear wheel bearings, new ecu due to not charging, a/c compressor, rear hatch handle, fuel pump, alternator and a clutch job. So minimal maintenance, easy to get in and out and super convenient. Plus optimal space for a big stereo system 🤘 I love them. Also forgot to mention it's burning oil now...which means I'm going to eventually swap in a 2zz!
I forgot to mention that I replaced both wheel hubs. They were shot at at about 250k. And of course the hatch handle broke on mine too. Thanks for watching and thanks for the love!
I bought my ‘05 brand new and I still love it.
I love my 06 Scion Xb! I swear by it and any small Toyota car with no electronics junk in it!
Ditto , I love my Xb too I have a 2005 and for the same reasons plenty of space and low maintenance very dependable
" Scion xB for life "
Just bought a 2010,has 90k miles, bought it for Doordashing and other delivery jobs. I am impressed with how fun it is to ride!
Just bought an 04 xB. Picking up Monday!
Cool story man, wife’s always never like it when we bought new rides. They don’t want to be at the dealership at all..lol !!
Sweet ride you got there, you went all in and tastefully done.👍
Congrats from a cars enthusiast person.
Funny story. When the first xB came out, (04) I was 11. I thought it was the most hilarious car ever. It was goofy looking but I loved. Every time I saw one when we were out, I would say "Look! xB!... I'm going to get me one." Fast forward to looking for cars in my early 20s, I can't find these things anywhere. They were either REALLY nice, or REALLY beat up when I did find them, and the nice ones would be swooped up almost instantly. A few years ago, I needed another car. Had some family members at a dealership and I get a phone call. "Hey, so we are at this dealership and guess what's here?" She picked me up, walk in and ask to look at the xB. "The what?... OH! You mean the toaster? Yea we actually just got that." Bought it on the spot. Funny how life works.
I got a newfound appreciation for the car when I moved. 16 boxes. I got a total of 16 boxes in this car, and I'm talking good medium sized boxes. I moved everything myself aside from big stuff like bed frame, mattress, and two shelves.
It has some problems, AC was out and dealership hid it, ended up having to get everything replaced, still nowhere near as cold as it used to be. It's got a minor evap leak, some minor rust, and the previous owner didn't take good care of it. It's automatic, which isn't a big deal, but I would love a manual. It's has it's quirks, but I still love it.
I love my DEATHbX, but I agree with everything you said hombre! Can't wait for next weeks Toaster Tuesday! 💀📦
Hell yeah. Thanks for watching and thank you for supporting the channel.
Extreme Daily Drivers, Sr... I totally feel you.Your videos are great and done some stuff made to my XB's jut watching your videos I thank you for that help. I own two of 2004 XB Automatic and stick shift, first time I drove my first one I fell in love with this car six month later I bought my second one, I did some customized they look great, and they run like champs. I've been thinking getting a third one ( 2006 ) but my wife would not let me. Period I love my XB's.
Damn! You should start your own xB channel! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
I love my original 2004 Scion xB bought it for 3300 dollars have had it almost 3 years and have had just the starter go out that was major but still was easy to fix . The Scion xB came with 140,000 miles My number 1 reason for loving this vehicle honestly is because I love how easy it is to work on and how it gives me the confidence to do any job on it. So far I have installed the dash speakers, front door speakers, installed a double din 6 inch touch screen JVC Radio / CD player and Bluetooth compatible. Installed front headlights and light bulbs , also rear lights. A cold air intake came with it so I replaced the conical filter and the filter bypass valve. Have done a transmission and motor oil change. Still not done.
I totally agree with you about confidence to work on it. Makes me feel like I can work on any car! Haha
Agreed!
Thanks for the inspiration. I REALLY, really want to learn how to work on mine. My brother is a mechanic, and I hate having to ask him to do things for me. I love this car enough to put in the work myself!
If I can do it, you can do it. That's the reason I started the channel. 99% of the videos I have made I had never done before I made the video. Good luck with your box and thanks for watching!
Just got a hold of an 04 stick. Needs love and I'm willing to give it to it. So far so good. Love it.
Awesome! Love mine! Box is rad! 🤘🏼
Thumbs up for the rear headrest mod. I did it on mine too.
Yo! I'm sure we all love it cause you do! You have introduced yourself and Kelly in expressing your passion and turning a wrench..Modern day Beaver family lol...big up for sharing...yes, we will stay tuned! Keep turning that wrench... one love
Thank you so much!! And thanks for always watching!
Thanks for sharing B! 👊🏾
No problem 👍
Every Toaster Tuesday makes me love my XA even more. If it ever goes, though... Prolly gonna be an XB or XD for me.
My wife test drove a xD when they first came out, but didn't buy it. Thanks for watching!
Nice video & agreed! scion XB 2006 my first car lol
You are so right. I love this car. 154,000 miles. I’ve only changed the oil. It’s so fun
I love to see people fall in love with Scion xBs. I have one and people in town shit on it all the time.
Haters gonna hate. Thanks for watching.
Toaster Tuesdays ! Awesome
Fell in love when I first got in one back in 08 from my wife’s dad( back when the wife and I were teenagers) . Today I’m finally driving one! Funny story- the box I drive today is the same one that her dad owned!
Ha! That's awesome!! Keep it in the family!
Just bought my 81 year old mom a ‘05 with high mileage. I really enjoyed the drive delivering it . Although she missed her turbo Volvo wagon that lost its 3rd gear clutch pack, she’s warming up to this classic and is learning what makes them special. As a mechanic, the car is wonderful. If I could find a steal on a rust free 1st gen here in the Midwest, I would think seriously about getting it. Unique and special cars that can’t help but be practical and kind of badazz.
*an
Buy one in another state and drive it home! That's what I did! Thanks for watching.
That’s what I’m looking to do! Seriously need help - I drop $9k or wait? If mileage doesn’t matter, what does? $9k for 90k miles or $7k for 160k miles - both regularly maintained at Toyota dealership, one or two owners, no rust
And seriously can’t decide whether manual vs automatic matters or if one is a deal breaker
The prices are high but if it’s the right car, what’s the limit, out of principle. Anything else is expensive, too.
I love my 2002 Scion XB. I purchased it 5 years ago for 3 grand. It had 99 thousand miles on it. The only thing wrong with it is the right hand, rear power window does not work. I don't care, I never ride in the back seat. I added a black plastic stone deflector on the hood. and left it alone. All I have done to it mechanically is change the oil. I like that it has a timing chain and not a belt. I do notice that it has a rather wide turning radius, and the 2003 models did not offer cruise control. Other than that, I have no complaints. I'm 6/3 and have plenty of room.
I have a 2006 with 143 thousand miles , I have a third stage racing chip installed I replaced the exhaust manifold but aftermarket headlights and aftermarket reverse tail lights put a $2,000 sound system in it purple 18in rims and I absolutely love my car
Man ..I didn't know i would love my 05 xb I had got for a winter ride..I've been spending money in it with aftermarket parts..its so fun to drive 5spd..I've been driving it more than my bmw 335xi coupe and I got tht thing hooked up.....I love my Xb tho...its coming a long nice..💯
I love my 2010, I’ve spent about 2 years pimping it out, such a fun car to drive other than the burning oil coming from the tailpipe😂 Idek how that happens honestly 😂 it does have 240000 miles on it though
Super nice xb I’ve always wanted one
I love my xB released series 2.0 I just lowered it and it's such a fun car. Love your channel bro you given me so many ideas for my yellow box keep up the good work man 👍
Appreciate it!!
Buying my first toaster tomorrow. The reliability and cargo space were the main reasons being a drummer. However, the after market for them means I’m buying one that the previous owner modded out beautifully. I can’t wait.
Congrats!! Enjoy!
I agree! I love my Scion xB 2010, amazingly reliable. The only issue other than expected maintenance is that the clutch fork bent twice. Eventually we hired a guy to build us a beefier fork and haven't had an issue since.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Just bought one, I knew I would love it... and I do
Congrats! Have fun!
I love my 05 xb. Everything you said is exactly why I love my car. Mine is Safety yellow color and have 278,000 miles on it
If you properly maintain them, they will go forever. Thanks for watching!
My first car purchase was my 05 Scion xB, I looked everywhere for the manual in white. Oh man, my mom hated it, called it the Shoebox!
SUBSCRIBED !! Dude I really enjoy your videos and actually it happened same thing with my wife she didn’t like the first generation (sadly I sold it) Scion xB so I got the second generation and she loved the space, the way it drives so she kept it, now I’m looking to get me the first generation for me lol
Thanks for the sub! And thanks for watching!
The best car purchase I ever made ! I drive a 2015 xb.
It speeds up to 90 mph on highways in no time.
It outmaneuvers many other cars.
I can do steath camping with it and nobody will ever know..
It gets a comboned mileage of 28.
Low cost maintenance.😊😊😊😊😊
They are amazing cars.
I still have my 06 xb. I will NEVERRR let her go. 150k miles strong baby.
Awesome video love mine.lot of people don’t know there was a issue and Toyota fixed it you have to change the trans gear oil.but I do my auto fluid like my brother in laws 06 xb has 546000 miles original engine trans.I added a temp gauge to mine and gave it all new cooling system and sensors just to be safe
I want one of these so bad! My wife thinks their so ugly but I love them!!! This is the car I would draw when I was a child! Exactly like this! It’s what first caught my eye! Can’t wait till I find one and buy it finally! Love the shades by the way! Knockaround glasses are awesome and can’t beat the price!!
I bought me a 2008 Toyota scion xb
Am happy and my daughter loves it.
im 2nd owner of a first gen and im at 155k and so far i replace that water pump and front bearing hubs. very reliable car.
Heck yeah man, the box kicks ass! Funny thing that I kinda see the xb as a modern VW bug. The beetle was in production for a really long time as opposed to the xb but I see a lot of box fans in car culture and both the bug and box brought something new in a small package to the auto world, only the box has a hella better back seat for back seat happenings! Good vid Brandon but you didn't mention that the box has a bunch of interchangeable parts with the xa, yaris and echo such as engine and tranny, wheel hub etc etc. Right on man, when we gonna see some stuff on the tank!?
In my opinion, the Bug is exactly like the xB, but instead of designing a car with straight lines, they used curves and circles when designing the Bug. It's an absolute classic. They haven't made anything like it since. And to think for awhile VW weren't making Bugs!! Good points about the interchangeability with other cars, but it doesn't make my list because that works with lots of cars. Many of the parts on The Commander also match the Grand Cherokee so it's not uncommon. Videos will be coming on The Commander, but not for a minute. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
My uncle owns one of these and I’ve driven it before mannnnn their pretty quick when you step on them and their so perfect in every way I can see everything even my blind spots lmao no one won’t understand til you drive one of these their hella perfect for a car to chill in 💯💯💯
I’ve had an 05 for the last couple of years and say the same exact thing that you do, I would drive it to California without even a second thought!
I use to have an 05 white xb and I loved it. Im now looking for another xb years later. Id love to buy yours but I know you wont sell it. It would be a mistake to. Funny story, my siblings and I we owned xa,xb,tc during our younger years. Absolutely great cars. My brother still has his xa.
The early xb has a lot in common with the new landcruiser and tacoma with the boxy profiles.
Agreed!
Loved the "Reason #0" story, lol!
I had bought a used 2006 Scion xB that was fixed up already. Had the spoiler, big muffler and especially loved how it purred like a kitten 100x louder.oh and it had an after market cold air intake. Sadly I lost it to repo. But I couldn't stop thinking of it. Then recently I was offered a loan to buy a small car to save on gas being I drove a V8 truck and without a doubt I got a 2006 scion xb. Yes it has defects here and there but that's as good as I could get and eventually I will fix it up to how the other car was if not better.
I have a 2014 Scion iQ at just under $15K with 14K miles on the car, and I have had zero problems with it for 40,000 miles. I love my Scion.
I almost got me the toaster xB, but I am happy with my littler iQ.
Good, comfortable, no-nonsense seats. The controls are all easily visable.
A lot of folks ask if my Scion is a Smartcar. Oh no, I tell them, I actually have room in the back to load my music gear, amp and all, and a big suitcase. It’s got a more powerful engine, and, I don’t have the expense of having to get it serviced by BMW.
These cars are actually Toyotas. And, I wish Toyota would make these models under the Toyota name - and electrify ‘em.
Still have my xB from 2003. This thing just won’t break! Powertrain still sounds great. I do have to do some work on my bumpers though.
They will run forever! Thanks for watching!
Great video! This is my new channel, so now I gotta back and like 👍 all your old content….especially the inspirational toast stuff
I am 6'5 and i have a 2005 xb with 132,000 miles and love the room it has. My kid always ask me if we can take the toaster lol.
I’ve got an 05 and 06 xb . Effing amazing vehicles! It’s a paradox car… its small and square from the outside, and then …boom…It’s bigger feeling on the inside.
You make fun of it.
Then you love it:)
Couldn't agree more!
#6. It helps me to practice my rust remediation skills. 😂
Sold my mom her 2008 56000 miles on it today air conditioner getting done and oil change trans change done on time bulletproof my mom loves the car she's 81 had it since it was new and I was the manager of the dealership at the time and she like the room and my brother has special needs he's down syndrome easy to get in and out she loves it . Still loves it she happy the air will be fixed and they should have just called a Toyota keep same name I think they would have sold more. Anyways I was a Toyota for about a total of 5 yrs out of 25 years in the automotive business.
My sister has a 06 she settled into. It's such a nice car. And it has AC
And definitely perfect for an amazing sound system if done correct
💯
Mine had 455000 miles on the stock clutch! I still see her every day on the road 4 years later 🥲
So sad they quit making them! LOVE both my 2014 for XB Release series. Yep love them so much I Bought two identical ones new. One 980/1500 the other is a lower number in the sequence.
250k on the original transmission is unheard of, that’s amazing
It would have been a lot more than that if the previous owner didn't destroy it. These cars are basically bulletproof. Thanks for watching.
haha love the new intro!
