I hear the! I drove a 2WD Explorer for many years and although it got 23mpg I don't miss it a bit. This is the most fun to drive car I've ever had.

The most fun car I've ever owned, and the easiest and most inexpensive to modify and make your own.

Welcome to Scion!

Congrats on your new xA, and welcome to SL. You'll find the xA is the small car with a big personality! Enjoy!

YAY! Another one sees the light! I sold a full-size Chevy Silverado extended cab 4X4 to get my xA. Best decision ever!

Excellent call.

I drove a '92 Isuzu Trooper before my xA... 12 MPG wasn't cutting it. 30+ MPG definitely does.

Well, Lux did get his xA today. I offer a big congrats his way.

I suggested different wheels/tires. Sways and lowering. AND, I do think the flint mica xA looks pretty sweet with a dark tint job.

Welcome to the family. See you at the events.

And you would know (you sold it to me, after all). Just driving it to work from the dealership, I'm really happy with it. I can't wait for my road trip to Anaheim two weeks from now.

I make my first "mod" tomorrow morning when I go get a car alarm/keyless entry system from a local dealer.

I went from my 2001 cobra mustang to this car and haven't looked back. From 13 MPG to 25+

It's not an oxymoron. There were never any 2007 xA's or xB's and new 2006 models are still out there.

It's not an oxymoron. Even though it was an oh-six, it had 27 miles on it. I'm the first owner of it, therefor it's technically a brand new car.
