Default Just ordered my xA

From Spartan Toyota/Mitusbishi/Lexus/Scion in Lansing, MI. Sucks it's an hour and a half away from me, but the drive was worth it. I liked the test drive - it was basically everything I thought it was going to be. The car doesn't accelerate worth crap, but that's no problem...I was looking for a good daily driver that would be reliable, comfortable, quiet, good on gas, that looked cool, and would be fun to drive.

I ordered a manual xA in Phantom Grey Pearl (that color looks so good in person).
I also got the following accessories:
- rear spoiler
- cf exterior accents
- TRD lowering springs
- TRD shocks
- TRD short shifter
- TRD exhaust
- TRD clutch
- 5-spoke hubcaps (for winter use...getting some nice rims for summer)
- Floor mats (lol...wOOt)
- Silver pedals
- brushed grey interior pieces (darker than the stock silver)
- red LED enhancements
- Scion security
- Hotchkiss strut bar

I'm planning on getting a set of Excel Maj 17"x7" rims with 215/45/17 tires...would that fit under the lowered stance?


Anyway, I'll take pics and stuff whenever I get it...should be within the next month. I can't WAIT!

You just nailed it on the head. These cars aren't muscle cars and never will be. Enjoy it for what it is.

And yes, Phantom Gray is the best color.

Congrats on your car. Post 'em when you get 'em.

Thanks guys!

And...to answer your question, it was $18k with everything (including tax, title, etc.) and the rims and the sub I want to get will add another $1000

If you want improved acceleration, add cold air induction and a 2.25" exhaust. (I also have the TRD sport muffler.) It really helped mine with accelerating onto the freeway and with passing.

Hey Sprockett, I hope that's a chick's lower V and not ___ on your avatar.

Congrats on your XA too!
