  Scion is for the College Student - 2005 Scion xA
  By ScionLove - November 15 - 2:36 pm

  I love my new Scion. It was an easy purchase. Toyota financed my purchase without a cosigner and no down payment. How great is that! I havent had a single problem with the car, as of yet. The car doesnt pick up speed quickly, but who cares. As a commuter student, I need a reliable car and Scion provided it.

  Best decision I ever made - 2005 Scion xA
  By PatNC - October 29 - 4:10 am

  All this for a car for around $13,000. I love mine. In mostly city driving I am now getting 23 mpg with the manual. Havent had it out on all hwy. yet. Its not just the young people buying it. Im over 45 and was looking for a comfortable, economical car and this was it. After much research, this was by far the best choice.

  The BEST car for the $$$! - 2005 Scion xA
  By B.Jones - September 28 - 10:03 pm

  I had been in desperate need of a new car, and was looking for something economical. I was considering the Mazda3, Corolla, Golf, etc. and stumbled a review on the new Scion by Toyota. All the reviews (including this site) had nothing but favorable things to say, and when I compared the options that came standard with Scion vs. the "others", I thought this sounds great! I ordered one without ever driving one and figured it is what it is, I just need something basic to get me around. I couldnt have been more surprised and pleased with a vehicle such as the xA. It handles very well and Im currently averaging 40 mpg on the highway and I couldnt be happier!

  This Scion is so much fun - 2005 Scion xA
  By Lysiana - July 22 - 8:10 am

  I purchased my Scion Xa in July of 2004. The interior design, where speedometer and all is placed, has reduced nighttime driving glare, resulting in less eye strain. After 40,000 miles, I have had to spend only $30 in maintanance. My highway mileage has reached up to 42 mpg. The stock stereo is better then most premium stereos.

  If I couldnt have a MINI. - 2005 Scion xA
  By Poulsen - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Was pleasantly surprised with all the standard features for such a low price plus the excellent gas mileage. CD, power windows, power mirror, interior lights that shut-off after closing the door, etc. Advertised at 32/37 mpg and actually getting combined of 36.5 mpg. Enjoy the somewhat unique exterior styling, similar to a Matrix. Who wants a Honda or VW they all have the same bland styling. Again, for 13K cant beat it.

  Outstanding XA - 2005 Scion xA
  By Jojo Abaya - June 25 - 11:33 am

  Just bought the XA about a week ago and am very impressed with the ride. I commute 44 mins one way and needed a reliable and economical car and the XA was everything I needed. The XA has power everything and the 5 speed manual does great on the hills. Its a comfortable ride and has the Toyota reliability emanating from it. It handles well on curves and is pretty quiet (I almost stalled it twice because I kept on thinking it was an automatic due to the quiet engine!). Plenty of room, where I can put 3 car seats in the back if I needed to. I like all the aftermarket parts I can put on it to make it personal. The only bad things is that it didnt have floor mats, cruise control, or armrest.

  I got a beautiful Scion who is the light of my days i never expect so much comfort in a car and the gas is $20.00 dollars to be full and it last for a week what a diference from the jeep a just to drive. Im really happy person now. And the 6 year warranty is a peace of mind for me. I dont regret my investment, is a great car.

  Love my Scion! - 2005 Scion xA
  By Julianna - May 26 - 3:50 am

  My Scion has been fantastic! No mechanical problems at all, and it is a blast to drive. I love the way it looks, and we have plenty of interior room. My 60 yr old sister went out and bought one last month and she loves hers as well.

  Good Value - 2005 Scion xA
  By Jim H - May 15 - 8:13 am

  When I first saw the Scion line at an auto show a few years ago, I thought they were ugly. But theyve really grown on me. When it came time to get a new car I didnt want to spend a lot of money but I wanted something comfortable, cool looking and economical. I felt myself being drawn to the xA. Knowing nothing about it I test drove it and really like the styling and handling. Plus it came loaded with EVERYTHING-standard! The no hassle buying was also a HUGE plus. I put a little extra in and got a power moonroof. This loaded little beauty came in under $16,000! I couldnt be happier.
