This is what is so cool about this car. It so fun and smart and perfect that it appeals to people of all ages.

When we first got ours, we had little kids waving and yelling and retired folks stopping us at lights to ask about it and tell us how much they liked it.

Oh yeah, and I'll be 36 next month.

I think that may take it.

Can you tell me, or anyone, I had said my Grandma is really thinking about it . And she has sat in the Passenger seat of mine but has never sat or driven in the drivers seat. The problem I was just thinking , Does the Angle of the Steering Wheel or possibly the Emergency Brake placement or putting it on or off cause any Difficulties ?
I have an Added ARMREST which makes the angle just slightly different , But I wouldnt be without one . My G-MA has a Bad RT Shoulder , that is why she needs to get RID of her Gear shift on the Steering post and get a car that has it Between the Seats .

I'm 49 going on 18. Everybody askes me: "Is this your son's car?"
When people mention to my 19 year old that they saw my car, he says: "Oh, that's my Mom's car"....and they say: "Yeah, RIGHT!"

Based on the owners in my area (with the exception of a couple), I avoided this thread fearing the oldest might be me.

Instead, I find that I'm actually on the lower end of the "older" drivers at 34.

WHEW!

I sold one to a guy who was 87!!!!!! He bought a Cammo automatic tranny, and he loved it!

That was almost a year ago, so if he's still kicking he's gotta be almost 88.

I sold one to a gentleman that is 76 years old.

He put a panoramic roof in and added a lot of vinyl graphics.

Ill balance out this thread with a taste of 16.. hope its sweet enough for you I appreciate the older drivers of the boxes out there, it gives scions an image of class; whereas the civics or integras will always be vehicles that children will play with.

17 here. Everyone I see in Greenville that has a Scion is middle aged. It's nice though being the only one at school who has a Scion.

Someone said earlier that SCIONS median age is 35 . But after I had that DRUNK BA*TARD try to put HIS BODY through MY WINDOW ! I think I have a few greys now
Im Having Fun EVERYTIME I get behind the wheel of MY BOX , And I dont think that has ANYTHING to do with age , Young or Old .
