Fantastic Value
The Scion xA really surprised me. I was originally looking at the Mini Cooper (for fuel economy and style), but since I'm starting a family I decided to check out four door cars. After seeing what this car had to offer for such a low price, it was the clear winner. My brother purchased an xB shortly before I bought my xA, and they weighed heavily on my decision. We're both extremely satisfied with our purchases. The xA is deceivingly roomy inside. I drive about 90 miles per day (round trip), so the fuel economy was the biggest selling point for me. The interior size, sporty styling, and spirited ride are just icing on the cake.
40 miles to the gallon!
This car is not a hybrid, but does get a wopping 40 miles to the gallon! It's design is a cross between a Mini Cooper & a Toyota Matrix. The torque is weak for the first few hundred miles and then it seems to warm up to your style of driving, i.e. mine picks up and gets going a lot faster now than it did in it's first 500 miles. Standard auto windows and cd player are great! Back seat folds down and makes for lots of room to transport larger items. I am very happy with my purchase.

Generally OK, some issues need attention
Wiper motor burned out in less than 1 day. Seat belt clip broke day 5. Multiple LOUD rattle developed. Not good mileage. Radio exptememly difficult to figure out and to operate when you do. Radio rates a 1 out of ten. I may replace it.
I love this Car!
This car has the highest value per $ in my perpective. Standard options include 4-wheel ABS, Dual Front airbags, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, I get at least 30-35 mpg in highway! check out scion.com
I love my Xa!
I have had my Xa for three months now and I love it. I bought it as a commuter car and am very happy with its overall performance. I have the 5 speed, which I've found to have adequate acceleration to merge with traffic (which was a concern of mine before buying). It is high enough off of the ground that I don't feel overpowered by other vehicles, and when the back seats are folded down it has a remarkable amount of space for such a small car. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a fun, inexpensive, economical car.
