What are your feelings on the Scion xA? Like it ? Hate it?

Question

Im thinking about getting one

Answer 1

Im a Tc owner, so Im biased. I did like the little car, it drives good. The buzzy 100 hp motor is not as bad as you'd think. The dash layout SUCKS. I hate the center console thing. Nice, well made car otherwise.

Answer 2

The scion Xa is a good vehicle, personally myself I was gonna get one, until I saw the Scion tC. But If you can hold off till 2008 the new Xd is coming out.

Answer 3

the xA is a great little car. No, it's not "slow" (clunkerheads don't know how to drive a 4 cylinder car or use a tachometer), and gas mileage is a steady 33 mpg or better.

Yep, it is a bit "buzzy" over 75 mph---true enough, but for the money, it's a great city car, very fun to drive, and you can pack it with stuff like you wouldn't believe.

And, it's got Toyota quality built in. It's one of the last great bargains in cars. 2006 was the last year for them.

Oh, the stock tires should be upgraded. I added better tires, a rear sway bar and a front strut brace---about $600 worth of modifications, and the car handles like a dream.

Answer 4

I LOVE MY XA!!!

I drive 2005 Black Sand Pearl and I love it!!!! Ever since I saw it at the dealership I fell in Love!! I saved up for 6 months for the deposit and drive it 60 miles roundtrip for work. I get approximately 32 mpg doing 60% highway driving. It's a fashionable car. I see guys and girls driving them around town. I definitely recommend it. The new xD will replace the xA but it's a great replacement.

Answer 5

I bought the 1st Scions while they got here to California...they are solid autos, as are all Toyotas, even nonetheless i ought to on no account propose somebody purchase a 2004 with 80 5,000. confident there is an risk there remains yet another 100k miles left on it, yet each and all of the huge money maintenance would be falling on you. in case you dont concepts paying for those issues then its superb, yet its alot of miles for a quite new vehicle. The benefit is at 84k you could guess that maximum of them have been highway miles. Its your call, yet its no longer the excellent determination.

Answer 6

Awesome car. It's quick enough, plenty of room, looks nice, and it's hip! You do blend in a bit with the commuters, but it's nice to know you're getting better mileage than most. I upgraded the stereo system immediately and bought the armrest. That's all that's been done to it. It handles fine in the snow, nice interior layout, great overall at lower speeds. It makes the Aveo look like a joke, it's nicer and bigger than the Yaris, cheaper and quieter than the Civic, and handles better than all of them, even without the swaybar and tire upgrades.

Oh, and it's cheap...and a Toyota. It's been sold for years in Japan (and Europe?) under the "Ist" name.

Read the reviews and then get one - you won't be sorry!

Answer 7

i own one and i love it, i has some bad points, like, a little noisey over 75 mph, ( but the decent stock radio makes it ok ) some people think its a little low on power ( i dont, and i love the mpg that it gets, any thing under 27 is kinda scary to me ) and some people think its a small nerdy car. Well it is small but its surprisingly big inside. big enough for me my gf and my 2 little boys or 4 good sized adults. plus alot of girls think its cute. 3 trips to califorina from wisconsin later and i am still very happy with my little car. But thats just my opinon.

Euchre anyone.

Answer 8

I LOVE MY SCION XA!! It's so "cute", I'm seeing a ton more of them on the streets. I would totally reccomend it :) have fun!!

Answer 9

I spend part of my life driving small cars in Europe and they are tiring in long trips. I prefer a Vibe or a Matrix or even a Compass. More space.

Answer 10

a good all around car. better than a honda fit. but i would wait for the 08 model to come out, lots of nice extras.
