2006 Scion xA review from North America
"Comfortable, Inexpensive and Reliable"
General comments?
This is an excellent car. I'm a big guy (about 300 Lbs), and it's extremely comfortable for me. I've driven around Arizona in it and I love it. The cargo space is incredible. I bought a king-size bed, two night stands, a six foot long six-drawer dresser and several bags of merchandise at IKEA, and every bit of it fit in this car (flat boxes). People laughed and said it looked like a Scion commercial, but it's incredible.
The largest person I've had in the car was 6'6" tall, and he said he was amazed at how big this little car is inside.
Visibility is excellent, with the only blind spot I've found being created by the rear view mirror.
I am actually getting about 25 miles to the gallon in the city with the a/c running. The car is a little sluggish when pulling away from a stop at times, when the a/c is running, but I think that's to be expected and I just compensate for it.
No complaints. This car is exactly what I was looking for: inexpensive, reliable, and comfortable. Great commuter!
