    I have had my XA R S 1.0 for only a week, but so far I love it. The bright red color(only for the R S 1.0) gets looks every where I go.

    This car gets great gas mileage, is fun to drive and has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. It even has a fantastic stereo all for under $14,000!

  • 123,000 miles later - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    I have 123,000 miles and the only problem I had was both front wheel bearing needed replacing. The interior still looks like new. Car rides too harsh and could be quieter. I am confident it will run past the 200,000 mile mark.

    I am a 19 year old female who bought this car new. Its not expensive and it gets great gas mileage. I love it. I added a lot of options to mine so it ended up being around $21,000 but they start at around $13,000. It just really depends what you want.

  • Awesome - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    This car is awesome. It could use more house power and built in GPS head unit, but overall solid built car. I get bad gas mileage because I am a teen who loves to drive fast. I mean this car tops off at 118mph, but its still great and I get about 27mpg

    Bought the car to replace the Subaru Legacy my son totalled. Initially bought it for the price found out that the car is a blast to drive. Very low maintenance so far with a super sound ssytem standard and fun to drive quotient of 100% make me extremely happy I bought this car

  • JJS RIDE - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL TOYOTA VEHICLES IN THE LAST 15 YRS. THIS ONE RATES AT THE TOP OF MY LIST. RIDE, ECONOMY AND OVERALL OUALITY ARE EXCELLENT,HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN ONE BIG DOWNFALL. AFTER A COLLISION, THE PARTS ARE ALMOST NON EXISTANT. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 6 WEEKS AT THIS WRITING AND STILL THE BODY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

  • Very nice... - 2005 Scion xA
    By -

    I put almost 30,000 on my Scion xA and have had no problems whatsoever. It is getting between 32-34 mpg driving in the city on regular gas. The only negative thing is that you need to let the engine warm-up, otherwise it will keep transmission in lower gear untill it reaches "warm" status.
