  • never have I loved like this - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    Love this car! stylish, fun to drive, great fuel numbers and frankly the best car that I have ever owned. I drove many small and mid sized cars in my 2 year search and fell in love just sitting in this car. Then I drove it and was hooked. Looked for almost a year for right car at right price and am so happy that I finally found her. I will never drive another. This is it for me. WOW!

  • I Love My Scion - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    This car is my first car, it was bought as a gift and I absolutely love it. Prospective buyers can go online and build the car exactly how you want it from the ground up. Its really fun to drive, has a nice sound system and its fuel efficient(for the folks looking for their kids). An added bonus is that you dont see many of them out there, so youre almost like one of a kind. I got mine in the black cherry pearl and its real tough. So if youre thinking about getting one you should. I did and I love mine.

  • Fantastic Car - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    We bought 2005 Scion brand new when gas prices started going up. We wanted a disposable car if you will, something cheap, good on gas. What we got is a fantastic car, we have 115 thousand miles on it and have done nothing to the car but replace tires. Its fun to drive, zips in and out of traffic, can park anywhere even if theres not much room. My husband and I are both tall people and it has a lot more space inside than what you might think. Ive driven this car a lot on small road trips (under 1000 miles) and just love it. I believe we will get over 200,000 on this vehicle and considering we paid a total of $14,000 including tax, title, license, I think we got a great deal.

    The Scion Xa is a fun car to drive. It helps me navigate the congested traffic in a major Metro area with ease and confidence. Driver visibility all around is excellent. The sound system is a pleasure to use. All in all, it is worth every penny I have invested in it.

  • Glad to have it - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    I got my xA in june of 2005. I had to hang in there to get what I wanted but finally did. Its been a good car so far, have 34,000 miles on it now. The gas cap door cable busted and was replaced under warrantee and that engine check light going on turned out to be a bad timing gear sprocket and was covered also but I was surprised by that one actually.The gas mileage has been excellent and like some people I couldnt care less if other drivers get upset that Im not going fast enough for them. One of the stock tires has worn a lot quicker than the others.

  • Great buy and mileage - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    Fun to drive with lots of headroom! Great mileage - about 38 MPG in combined highway and city driving for us! Very comfortable seats - good back support at the base of the back - good for long trips! Feel very safe - with additional side airbags installed!

  • It is a Very Good Deal - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    This is an excellent economy car. Has good mileage and handles well. It has decent accelaration and a cool sound system. It is a great commuter car, especially in California where gas is $2+ a gallon. Its great forfor stop and go traffic. Where can you find a car for $13,000 that gives you ABS, AC, power windows, and doors. It has a Pioneer stereo system with 160w speakers. The Scion Xa has it all! Did I mention a Toyota VVTI engine and RELIABILITY!!

    I have had the car for a month and I am very happy. It has been reliable and good on fuel. Averaging 40mpg on mostly highway driving. Its cute gets lots of looks and still unique in my area.

  • I love my Scion! - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    I have had my Scion xA for 1 year now and have loved every minute of it! In minnesota, it even started when it was -30 degrees! Granted, it sounded a little funny but let it run a few minutes, then she was off!
