Fun and functional car. Highly recommended for new teen drivers. Receive many positive comments for observers when at different location I stop at.I'm having a blast driving it!

I absolutely love this car! I'm in the process of getting the cold air intake to beef up the slightly underpowered HP. This thing handles like a sports car and I crave for turns at high speed. The xA begs to be thrown into turns and driven though heavy traffic due to it's small demeanor. I would have bought two if I had enough money, just so I wouldn't have to drive a loaner in the rare event that it would have to be in the shop. Test drive this car and you will not look at anything else that's in it's class. There's no point!

My wife and I bought this on our honeymoon, and it has turned into our second best wed gift(second to a quilt)! We love our car.....needless to say, it has been EVERYWHERE with us!!! (or rather we with it) Held hostage by the miraculous powers of the all new, all amazing 2005 scion XA!!! On a more serious note, this has been a great little car for us. Over 100000 miles, and nothing but plugs and oil change. We have often gotten around 40 mpg and have made MANY 1500 mile trips in it, and find it very comfy. The ONLY things I could complain about, is road noise at high speeds, no input jack on stereo, one annoying blind spot, and.....I guess that's it! Great car! We HIGHLY recommend!

I got my Scion xA in December and I can't drive it enough. The best part about it is that if you drive it rough you still get better than the average car being around 28mpg and if you drive it easy you get over 34mpg. So to me gas still is not that big of an issue. With the way gas prices are i couldn't ask for a better price or gas milage in a car.
