Can go thru snow and has power! I like the color and design! I like that it has four door can transport my family and friends. I like that it is manual not automatic easier to drive! Has good mileage.
The Scion Xa has a hatchback and folding seats to carry things. It handles well and is easy to park. It gets good gas mileage. It can comfortably seat four people. My car is fun to drive. I like using the manual shift.
Great gas mileage. No major problems have arisen since purchase (original owner). Hatchback area is surprisingly large. Can fit a full size recliner in it with the seats down. Seats 5 comfortably. Roomy inside despite being a compact hatchback.
They are all pros. Low maintenance, high gas mileage, great drive. I am sorry they are no longer manufacturing scions as I would surely buy one again. I have even considered buying a used xd just because I love the car so much.
Nothing really has all the features I requested and needed and handles good needs more safety features and storage! I like the style and design! Definitely would buy another one! I think it needs a lift kit.
It is sometimes hard to start - you have to use the clutch and the gas at the same time, and the timing has to be just right. The suspension could be smoother - if you have a passenger in the back, and hit a pothole they are uncomfortable.
The air conditioner enjoys cold air at a steady flow, but it could be a bit better. The engine has a hard time powering up hills sometimes. No speed control was included, which was common for 2006 model cars.
The only con is that there is no cruise control. It is really meant to be a city vehicle. It is so small that it can be parked anywhere. And, even though it's small, the inside is super roomy. Maybe another con is that the back seat has very little leg room, but I seldom have back seat passengers.
The 2006 Scion xA has an average owner rating of 4.52 out of 5 which ranks it #2 of 19 other Compact SUVs.
