I purchased the 2005 Scion Release Series, with a 2.0 liter engine. There are only 1,700 of these cars made. What drew me to it was it already had everything I wanted in a Scion. Total cost $15,000. I took my car on a trip from Madsion, WI to Charleston SC, The car was loaded to the top. I spent $70.00 on gas for a 1,000 mile ride, impressive right? I had no trouble plowing thru the Smoky Mountains. This car is like driving a race car. I was burnin' the track & takin' names. Scion has a price point system. All Scions come base price and each extra costs a price, no running back & forth to a manager. It was the first time I bought a car and didn't feel ripped off!

*first, car does have cruise control as an option* Bought car from father-in-law when I got back from my deployment. Put a hitch on it. Towed my 125 ktm around no problems for years. Drove through Georgia mud trails out to mwa shooting ranges. Laughed at trucks that got stuck and somehow I didn't. Drove with two wheels that had most of their bearings destroyed (sounded like I was riding in a c130). Hoped a wheel would fall off so I could wreck and get a week off work (military sucks, don't join); never happened. Fixed them after a year for pretty cheap. Changed the oil 3-5k miles late every time. Oils always clean and clear. Cruise control works pretty well. There is a variable 2-4mph fluctuation going through up/down the smokey mountains. I can't bring myself to buy a new car when this beater is still perfectly fine despite all my attempts to kill it..it's ridiculously reliable. Down to the actual negatives : - throttle lag will pss any car enthusiast off. -swapping out the heavy wheels with lighter könig's was actually a bad idea..my bearings were taking the brunt of the force rather than the tires. So they went bad earlier than they should have. But that was a cheap repair for the significant ride improvement. -aerodynamics is subpar at high speeds meaning you will need to drive with two hands at 80 mph+ if there is significant crosswinds. -crash test ratings are subpar. Just don't get t-boned. I would never buy this car again. But honestly I'm glad I've been stuck with it.

Great little car if you want excellent gas mileage, good standard features, and way low price. We looked at all the high mileage cars, except the hybrids, and this was the best bang for the buck. Rides smooth, a little loud under full throttle, but that is to be expected from a 1.5 liter moving 2,000 plus pounds. Drives fine til about 80-85 mph, then it starts to be a little too loud from the engine bay. Put in some dynamat and it might be somewhat quieter.
Bad Gas Mileage

The window sticker showed 31 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. I have never even come close to that. The best I have gotten is is 23 city with the air off, 20 with it on and 27 on the highway. This car has been back to the dealer several times to check it and a Toyota rep came out last time. They say, "its only an estimate" too bad, you loose and we won't do anything about it. My other car, a 2001 Honda CR-V, get 27 mpg, need I say more. Don't buy this car for the gas mileage stated, it is 34% less than that.
