Best Car I Ever Bought

2006 Scion xA 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Ive owned this car a little over 3 years now and Im approaching 30K miles. It is the best car Ive ever owned. No trips to the dealer except for scheduled maintenance. I live in Ventura and its perfect for parking in tight spots and doing the 7-mile commute to work down the 101. Stereo is great! I average 33 MPG; Lowest MPG was 30 and highest (round trip: vacation to Bakersfield) was 39.47. Im 6 ft. and I can sit behind myself. MPGs would be even better if there was a 6th overdrive gear. Friends are impressed and sad; too bad they stopped making these. The xD is not really a replacement. If I had to replace this car today Id give the Honda Fit a serious once-over.

The Scion xA is a funky little "Mini Cooper"-like buggy that is a blast to drive. It has Toyota / Lexus quality with standard power windows, doors, mirrors, ABS, 15 inch wheels, and a kick butt 6 speaker stereo that will even play your MP3's. It is near the top in gas mileage and, unlike the Mini, runs on regular. Despite its size, the front seats are roomy and very comfortable. The driving position / view of the road is similar to driving a minivan or an SUV. It handles well. The ride is a little choppy on uneven surfaces though. The engine provides ample power, but is a bit anemic when the car loaded. For $14,070 out the door (plus tax/tags), how can you beat it?

I use my Scion xA for mainly city driving. After driving larger cars this is a great model for moving in and out of traffic. I haven't done a lot of highway driving with it, but it has handled well in all four seasons.

Being fussy, after my corolla station wagon, I was disappointed the Scion gave about the same mpg, with so much less interior space. But after a while the mpg improved, (although the space didn't.) On the road I get an easy 40 mpg. In the city, between 34 and 36. But tools that fit a corner of the Corolla, are enough to fill the whole back of the Scion, making it resemble a dumpster. On the other hand it's nice to drive. The backhatch is practical. The car's prettier than the Yaris. And ith's needed no repairs after 48,000 miles.

My 2006 Scion xA is rattle-proof, very easy to drive, and has excellent fuel economy. I did 40 mpg on third tank of gas.
