The 2006 Scion xA: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2006 Scion xA for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2006 Scion xA for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 71 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, fuel system and engine; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
Its 1.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 7.8 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.09 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the xA suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the xA for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the xA on your commute before you commit to it. If the xA is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
