Pros: Slick and refined interior, eager and agile demeanor, better dynamically than tall-bodied xB.
Cons: Tight, cramped-feeling interior, near-nonexistent trunk space, feels out of its element on freeways.
Summary: My Experience I test-drove a Scion xA five-speed at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about half and hour and covered city streets, winding secondary roads, and the freeway. Performance As in the xB, I originally wasn't ... read more

Pros: Low price, tight cornering, abs brakes and power windows and locks standard.
Cons: Price is already low so dealer won't come down any on it.
Summary: The Scion XA is a great little car. I've driven a mini-van for the past thirteen years so I'd forgotten how fun a small car could be to drive. Though my van is luxurious and wonderful for traveling, it has become quite expensive to drive around town with ... read more

Pros: Standard equip.
Cons: Side air bags opt.
Summary: Well, I'd like to believe I am an informed buyer: Consumer Reports, Autobytel, Edmunds, Intellichoice, etc., I review all of them before buying a new vehicle. My choices came down to the Ford Focus ZX-3, the MINI, the VW Golf TDI and the Scion x-A. I ... read more

Pros: gas mileage, pricing, interior styling, hatchback practicality
Cons: front end styling, rear seat space, dealers won't deal on price
Summary: Here in California, we were blessed to be the preview state for Toyota's new youth-oriented brand - Scion. Designed to appeal to Gen Y and to break free from Toyota's stodgy image, the Scion nameplate is composed of 3 models - the xA, xB and the ... read more

Pros: Ultra cool interior/exterior styling; price; mpg; audio; character; smiles
Cons: Not too much room in back; plastic interior; sun visors
Summary: The Scion xA has ultra cool design. I mean just look at any other new car you can get for $13000--yawn. The xA has charm and style. If I were driving a Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent I for sure wouldn't get stares and comments like "What is that thing? It's ... read more

Cons: Noisy at highway speeds, no discounts or rebates
Summary: Two weeks ago I bought a new car, a 2003 Mazda Protege, but before I did, I test-drove most of the competition, did a lot of online and print research, and finally did a whole lot of soul searching to figure out just what the best car for me would be for ... read more

Pros: Gas mileage, factory installed sound system.
Cons: Elbow Room, power, speed, acceleration, durability.
Summary: It didn't promise much, but we get what was promised. We got the 5-speed, wanting to save on gas, thinking we'd be okay with the cramped space and lack of power (I think it only has 104 hp or something? Anyway, it's not good for long trips and it's
