2006 Scion xA Road Test Ratings

A high quality compact sedan that is comfortable and fun-to-drive despite a small, economical engine.

Despite a small engine, an entertaining chassis makes the xA fun-to-drive.

The xA has comfortable seats and plenty of space for the driver. The suspension provides good road isolation on most surfaces. Wind and road noise are merely OK.

The interior is, for the most part, laid out quite logically and provides plenty of space. Center-mounted speedometer and tachometer, however, are a trend we hope dies out soon.

Build quality is excellent. Interior surfaces are finished to higher grade than expected in this class.
