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.

  Spunky Jellybean - 2004 Scion xA
  By Amy K. - June 3 - 5:56 am

  Ive had the car for a little over a week (500 miles) and really like it. It has more get up and go on the freeway than I had expected (though one can only expect so much out of a 1.5L engine) and freeway driving hasnt been a problem, even with 2 passengers in the car. Ive taken out the rear headrests because they block some of the view, plan to replace them with 2 more center headrests (only an inch or so tall when lowered). Parallel parking has been a breeze, though Im still getting used to how CLOSE the back end of the car is - my last car wasnt this small! The brakes do seem to squeak a little, Im not sure if thats the cold this week, or if it will be an ongoing issue.

  My Scion xA - 2004 Scion xA
  By Paul C Pa. - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Being 6 and over 200lbs I need a large drivers compartment,and even though the front doors are the largest body panel the car has a great deal of interior room. The buying experience was super simple and quick. Sales people are trained for scion customers and it shows. Still dont think 35+mpg will ever happen @65mph @3000rpms.

  As far as reactions from people, I get about 50/50 - Half of the people saying "aww, how cute" and the other half think the xA is ugly. But Im proud of my little xA, I think its cute, fits into parking places easily, good on gas, and has nice features (the interior lighting, etc) I have fun driving it knowing that their arent many on the road yet, and when I do see fellow scion owners, they usually wave at me =) Its a great car so far, and Ive had no problems with it yet. Suprisingly, Having the speedometer and everything all in the middle is convenient. I love mine, and after having it 4 months, I cant imagine driving anything else :)

  Great Entry-Level Car!!! - 2004 Scion xA
  By pbxgodwin@netscape.n - June 13 - 10:00 am

  This car truly stands out in a boring sea of lackluster subcompacts, most with average quality, below average fit and finish, abysmal resale and few, if any, aftermarket peformance offerings. In 5 speed form, this car truly is fun to drive, offers a 9-second 0-60 time, great build quality and Toyota value. Funky to look at, you either love it or hate it, which is just fine with me. Car is very stable, firm handling, doesnt feel like a small car, even cruising at 85. But keep in mind, while fun a spunky in a 5 speed, this car dogs with the automatic.

  Best Deal for the Money - 2004 Scion xA
  By modernoca - May 15 - 10:00 am

  I looked at all the other cars in this class, and even a few more expensive, and frankly, youd be hard pressed to find ANY other vehicle with as many standard features for a price this low. Everyone who has taken a ride in this car is stunned when I tell them the price.

  Scion xA - 2004 Scion xA
  By sactoreg - March 8 - 2:00 am

  My Scion xA is Great! It came with all toeh features of more expensive cars, and size wise its easy to find parking in San Francsico. Its a little jitteryg when hitting potholes or rough roads, but otherwise rides well. Ive had a reocurring problem with the passenger side rear speaker, and the dealership seems either unwilling or unable to correct the problem. Also, I have developed a rattle in the rear cargo cover that will not go away. Otherwise, a well put together car with many options that Ill be adding over the next few months.

  Not Bad, but also Not Good Enough - 2004 Scion xA
  By calimania - January 18 - 2:00 am

  First thing I should say is... I like this car. Its well-built, all-around- not-bad features.. Im satisfied with this car. However, the most factor that affected me to buy it is definitely the PRICE!

  Gen Y - 2004 Scion xA
  By catier - December 19 - 10:00 am

  What a car! You sure get loads of options for your money. Originally designed for the Gen Y crowd...Gen G (for geezers like me) will love it, too.
