Me too! I'm probably the oldest person I've seen driving an xA here, and I'm 47. And I look every minute of it, too! After plenty of research, I concluded the xA was the best value for the money, and the most fun to drive. After the 36,000 mile warranty has expired, I plan to lower mine and put bigger wheels and tires on it, maybe do some other suspension modifications, maybe improve the intake/exhaust for better breathing. I hope Toyota doesn't pull the plug on this great little car, but I guess if it's not selling well enough they probably will. Too bad for the uninitiated...they don't know what they're missing!

xas and xbs are getting pulled at same time has nothing to due with low sales, speaking of i walked into a dealer only car i couldnt find was an xa so they still are a sucess, as for old people, eh dont hate as long as they love there xa its all good.

yea cmon there's a certain 63 yr old down here that owns two of the coolest Scions you'll ever see an xB and xA. Check out my profile for the pic of his xB.

I guess I'm one of the younger xA owners. I'm only 39 :D.

Yah they carded me at the dealer and said i was too old. So i had my kid buy it and sell it back to me.

My wife an I are both 45. We wanted a fuel efficient car that was fun to drive (5 speed). Scion/Toyota was a "natural" choice since we also own a 2004 Sienna and it has been rock solid reliable.

I see a fair number of xA's here in Maryland, and many of the drivers appear to be in their 30's. BTW, I think that I read the xA sales are up 15% over last year. We're doing our part... we just bought our xA last week.

ugh, i change my middle ground idea, old tuners are fine, but today i saw an old lady in a 05 bop and i just about cryed, this car wasnt made for her to just abused the car was filthy, ugh poor scion

Psyco565

hey cmon now, you can't tell me that this 63 yr old guy hasn't captured the essence of Scion? It's about being young at heart

OldYeller

I take it you have never run into Carlos and his Team XcelsiA. He and his team have about 6 or 7 xAs. They are all younger than most of the tC and xB drivers--but I kind of tip the scale when it comes to age at some of the meets.......

ceiph

im cool with old tuners, its the 40 year old moms i dont want in my precious xa

Psyco565

yea, it's agreed then you can be old and drive a Scion so long as you respect the car and dont drive 20 mph under the speed limit.

oldmanatee

These cars can go under the speed limit???????

Our arthritic knees cause us to put too much pressure on that there pedal on the floor.......................

Those numbers are very low, compared to most other nameplates. Scion is working at it's job; getting younger people excited about Toyota products. Of course, some older people buy them too, but Toyota certainly isn't going to turn away thier money.

Hmmm I hate to tell you guys this but I have a 2006 xa and love it! I'm 66.
The main reason I bought it is because a friend bought an xb last year and he's 72!!LOL

BTW we both work out 5x/week. I still work as a tool designer using 3d & 2d CAD programs.

My lil ol red xa was made for me!

Hey thanks for screwing up the demographics...
