Wife's '06 Scion XA

[Niko_Fx]

Just bought it for her yesterday. I already purchased the spoiler and the keyless entry but Toyota is going to call me next week to get them installed.

The little car comes standard with tilt-steering-wheel with audio controls, power locks, cargo area cover, power mirrors, power windows, 6 speakers, Pioneer stereo with mp3/wma, mp3 plug, etc. Pretty good deal and a perfect car for her.

mpg = 31 city / 38 hwy.

Yes, it does have A/C... Look at the interior pics ;)

I generally don't bother opening attachments, just look at the little thumbnail ¬_¬

Why a Scion? :confused:

Why not a Civic or a "cooler" car, like a Celica or something on that line...

Celicas are extremely expensive next to a Scion XA, I'm 21 and a recent graduate, can't really afford that much that fast.

The XA is cheaper than any Civic, Mazda 3, etc.. and it is exactly the car she wanted. She had a Yaris back in Vzla and she wanted something similar to it... fell in love with the XA since she saw it.

all cars nowadays come standard with those features.

Nice little car, there are a few at school and they don't lok half bad.

No they don't.;)

My brother's brand new Corolla has half of that features. No mp3 capability, no power windows, no power locks, no audio control on steering wheel etc.

Gotta love the inputs in this thread. Great posts :rolleyes:

Hey if the wife is happy with it that's all that matters - not my cup of tea all the same.

Giver her a few more years and she will be looking to get an 8 seater SUV! :eek:

Maybe the one getting the SUV will be Niko himself. :D Nice Scion, hope you get some alloys soon. :p

[Radoman]

Take off those wheel covers. You don't neccessecarily need alloys, just take off the hubcaps, for they are the work of satan.

is Scion just a Toyota USA brand?

But not anything else?? ;) :p

Goodstuff there N. The xA here is just that bit more expensive (since you said it's cheaper than a Civic and such) - more than a Civic but less than a Celica. Interesting how prices go around.

[PerfAdv]

Congrats!! That's a great car and it should serve you well for many years.

They are fantastic city cars. My brother is a 40-something physician (meaning he can afford almost any car) and for his commuter he bought the Xb.

whoa whoa whoa, youre 21?!?! i thought you were like 35...

[Misho]

i heard that the xA will be discontinued, is that true ? or maybe the guy at the dealership meant it will be discontinued only in this part of the world ?!

Never heard of that. Wouldn't make much sense if discontinued worldwide as it is a pretty new econobox.

21 indeed. Hopefully at 35 I'll be driving something better than a Civic :)

I'm not sure as to where they are sold besides the US, but I believe they are assembled here. They are new Toyotas with a new badge, the engine of the XA is the same as the Echo or new Yaris.

[NSXType-R]

It's a nice solid little car. Not a bad choice. It would be better than the Chevy Aveo. It's ugly.

[SupraMan22]

Nice car. :) And Most toyotas and scions are built here in the states. They both probably share a couple cars out of thier line that are built in japan. I know a couple cars from the toy line up that are. Nice car. Good man. :cool:

[Esperante]

ZOMG Scions aren't sold in America, Niko.
