Overview & Reviews

In an effort to get buyers under 30 into its dealerships, Toyota launches an all-new division called Scion. The brand will eventually grow to three models, but for now two are offered; one of these is a small but well-equipped five-door hatchback called the xA. Scion will use a no-haggle sales strategy and give buyers ample opportunity to customize their xAs, drawing upon a list of over three dozen dealer-installed options.

• The cool stuff costs extra, modest passing power with automatic transmission, no cruise control.

  Wonderful Little Car! - 2004 Scion xA
  By moonbeam - May 30 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for little over 2 months and I love it. Its my first car and Ive been learning how to drive with it so I can commute to work (90 miles daily). So far the only problems Ive had are the brakes squeaking occasionally and the light/flying feeling I get when Im on the highway (going 65mph)! It definately needs more power because its hard to go uphill-but other than that its a great first car, easy to park, and fun to drive. I get quite a few people looking at it and asking me what it is! I had to take the backseat headrests out because it was blocking my view-but since I dont ever sit in the back, its fine with me!

  I love this little car. - 2004 Scion xA
  By Patella - May 30 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the xA for about a week now, and I am so impressed. Though the ride can be a tad bumpy, the car absolutly zips on the highway. The interior is comfortable and intuitive, and though never one for flash, I have to say the sound system is so much fun. Its amazing how small the car is from the outside, yet how tall and roomy it feels inside. I keep getting out and expecting to be standing next to a much larger car. Though not for everyone, I love the unusual dash layout, although I still am not quite used to looking center for my speed. In short, I love this little car!

  Scion xA Release Series 1.0 Rocks - 2004 Scion xA
  By Jamison - May 12 - 6:16 pm

  Weve only had this car for a few weeks, but have totally enjoyed it. Even though the sticker (and the dealer) said wed only get 31-36mpg weve found that using 89 octane instead of 87, and driving sensibly have gotten us an average of 38-43 mpg. The car is fun! It is packed with lots of nice standard features and the RS 1.0 version adds a nice "moon roof", cool wheels, and much more agile handling than the standar Scion xA. I with that it came with cruise control though. Weve added the cold air induction system and gotten a lot better acceleraton with no apparent negative effect on gas mileage. There arent many Scions around here so no one seems to know what it is. Its easy to find in a parking lot full of look alikes.

  Complete Review - 2004 Scion xA
  By esavov - March 11 - 10:00 am

  This is a great compact car. There are many features that I really Like: 1. Interior looks nice, not cheap and squeaky. 2. Ive noticed that my eyes dont get "bothered" while driving at night for a long distance. 3. The only thing I paid extra for was nice rims, power steering, and side/curtain airbags. Total of 15,400. 4. Vehicle comes with an excellent CD player (plays MP3 as well), power doors and windows, AC, etc. 5. Cargo area is actually great. When the seats are up the smaller area is still perfect for grocery shopping. 6. This car has plenty of power. I constantly find myself speeding without even trying.

  Not for anyone over 5 feet tall - 2004 Scion xA
  By The Science guy - November 20 - 2:00 am

  This car allows me to commute for about the same price as my motorcycle, and about the same level of safety too. I truly love this cars ability to get me from LA to SF for less than fifty bucks. The stereo is great and I can fit a drum set in the back with room to spare. The car is actually quite quick if it has a manual transmission. It can park almost anywhere (i.e. double parking on standard sized driveways).

  Solid Little Car - 2004 Scion xA
  By ScionDriver - November 17 - 9:46 pm

  I bought this Scion brand new off the lot and it has been very reliable since then. I have over 103K on the car in just 5 years, but Ive only done minor repair to it. Its fuel economy has been dismal, Im not sure how anyone is getting 38mpg+. But, for the price (around $12,500) its a bargain and comes standard with many features most cars in the price range do not include.

  Getting another one ! - 2004 Scion xA
  By No2gates - November 8 - 2:00 am

  I bought a xA 2 weeks ago, was a little concered about others saying it was lacking power. I think the power is fine, no compaints here. The ride is a little stiff when travelling on a rough road, but other than that, its a great car. Im planning on purchasing another for my wife within a week.
