Okay, so right now I have a honda civic. And I've been looking at the xA. But I'm not really sure if I want one. Can any of you please tell me what I should do?

Thank you!!

get the xa and join the scion family!!! these cars are awesome! easy to mod if thats what your into, other wise great milage and pretty roomy!!

 

get the xa. its a small nimble car with plenty of power, very versitile since its a hatchback, 100% made in japan which mean the quality is extremely high and its put together much better, it rides really comfy(I'm 6'2") and has a sporty feel to it. The xa is a very unique car since they're aren't a dime a dozen like the civics and with the way things have going with honda lately I'd deffinitly take the xa over any honda.

 

What has been going on with Honda lately?

 

I don't know what your expecting people on a Scion forum to tell you but you'd be safe to predict everyone here will tell you to buy an xA. Oh, and if you want one, hurry up 'cuz they'll be gone in a few months.

 

A recent Honda recall

A nice car.

Go for it

 

Go out and take one for a drive. The cars already have been proven to be ultra reliable, great mpg, incredible resale value, and personally, I think a bit more stylish than what Honda offers with their Fit and what Scion will offer with their xD. If you like way it drives, there isn't any reason I could think of to not buy one. Scions have a unique ability of bringing a specific set of aesthetics to your ride.

 

In regards to honda they have had a massive recalls in china, the u.s, and japan all within the past few months. I dunno whats up with them and now they want to make up to 50,000 crv's in mexico, stupid move on their part.

 

Go for it!! I did and don't regret this decision at all.

 

I've had my XA for a few months now, no regrets! So far I love it! I'm leaving mine stock, it gets great milage (I've been getting 35-36mpg) and is perfect for all the driving I do. I did just add the Yakima racks on the top so I can carry my bicycles with me.

Take one for a test drive, they're great!

Get the xA. My fiance get one last fall and I am having as much fun modding that little car as I am with my own tC. Plus, if you go to a show, you are almost for sure going to get a trophy haha.

 

Were you expecting a bunch of people here to tell you "NO RUN AWAY IT'S HORRIBLE" ? Of course, we're all gonna say "get one" because we all love our little monsters!

But since you asked... YES! GET ONE! Quick before they're gone foooooooooooooorever!

 

i owned an xA i say go for it buy get a auto the manual is relaly... iffy i love my tC's trany much more oh and did you know the manual trany in the xA is not reinforced in any way..... just sometihng to think about its what drove me out of it

 

^the manual tranny is not reinforced? plz enlighten me on this.

And to the original poster get a manual. I drove the auto b4 I got the manual and I'm glad I got the manual. This is also my first manual car too and it was a breeze to learn on.

 

Get the Manual - WAAAAAAAY better than the auto. I test drove both and the manual felt like a completely diferent car (in a good way). If I remember right it was the TC manual that people were haing problems with, the XA manuals hold up fine.

XA manual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The auto turns fewer revs than the stick, so you will get better mileage with the slushbox... I got the auto, and it is fine...plenty of pick up, it never hunts for a gear, even blasting thru mountain twisties....

 

This mans speaks the truth.

 

I love auto... my right hand and left foot cannot be arsed to drive anymore.

 

Why don't you test drive one....
