Specs, explained
Its 1.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the xA suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Living with the xA
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A week with the xA answers more than any brochure. Rent the xA for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the xA on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
