2005 Scion xA review from North America
"Boring car trying to appeal to young adults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
Gas mileage is really the best thing about this car. I have been averaging around 30 mpg that is mostly city driving.
Engine sound is somewhat loud inside the cabin when you accelerate fast.
Driving the car is somewhat anemic comparing it to my previous car.
Exiting from a sharp turn is slow due to it being an automatic.
Radio and sound system is probably the best thing about this car with its Pioneer sound system.
Cleaning the dash is another problem, but it doesn't the reflect sun that much.
