My Work Car

2005 Scion xA 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 4A)

I'm a courier and this is the car provided to me by my boss. It's a nice car to work with, as it's nimble, quick and easy to park. It's got about 115K miles on it, mostly highway miles and the only thing that's been done to it is tires, brakes and a new alternator (the old one chewed up the belt). It has a nice stereo, cold a/c and hot heat and the seating position is up high (almost minivan-like). I normally put 300-500 miles on the car per day and, besides a tire blowout, it's never let me down. I'd buy this car.
Best car I've ever owned

I've owned dozens of vehicles (I used to buy and sell used cars) and this one is definitely my favorite. 240k miles on it and hardly any repairs to speak of (the clutch still works great, even). Whatever has had to be repaired was relatively cheap. Do yourself a favor and buy one of these guys before they leave the roads for good! It's a shame they stopped making this vehicle. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

It's a Buggy

Rides like a buggy, run over a toothpick and you'll feel it. Quick and nimble on dry pavement, terrible in snow. Bought with 32k miles and replaced AC at 38K for $600 and new battery at 40K but it has never left me stranded. It's a local driver that's not meant for the highway. Get about 25 MPG local and I beat the crap out of it and it just keeps going.
Fantastic Car!

We bought our Scion over 5 years ago. It has been VERY dependable and a lot of fun to drive! Visibility (I'm short) is very good!! My husband has taken it over...:)
Bought this at a salvage auction

I bought this car from progressive with a little damage. Only had 58k miles and paid 1400 bucks. I replaced both rear wheel bearings (a common problem). This car drives amazing. Its a cheap commuter for me, since I drive over 80 miles each day its perfect. $15 and its full. Car comes standard with power options and its a toyota, so you know you won't have any problems. Almost put 10k miles in a matter of 2 months and its been nothing but great. Do yourself a favor and buy one of these now that gas prices are down and the car has depreciated.
