Its a cute little car to get around in. Seeing that this car had only one owner and the mileage was relatively low, I feel that it was a good value. Jan 06, 2021

I absolutely loved this car. my plan was to take home that day, I was wanting to buy it for my daughter as she is turning 16 in a year and wanted to get her a vehicle early that she can pratice driving in since my big pickup truck is a bit intimidating to her to drive. She loved it too but yeah sadly my credit kinda sucks at the moment, so Im going to have to save up for a car for her, so I couldnt bring it home like I had hoped. The interior looked brand new, the outside paint job was to be expected for a 15 year old car, where rocks and debris from the freeway hit the engine hood a lot over the years chipping lil pieces of paint off and same around the door handles, from just wear and tear from the weather etc. I test drove it and it has outstanding performance, its manual, so u can really make it get up and go, and the sporty after market wheels on it make it a catchy lil ride, also the sunroof was a definite plus. I will envy the person who ends up buying it, cant beat the price of the car for only having just under 65,000 miles on it. Apr 24, 2020

This car has been a real reliable work horse for me for a decade now. I drive well over 400 miles a week and need to depend on a car to get me to work and back home and I can truely say I have absolutely no regrets about buying this XA...none! I don't think I would have been happy with the Automatic transmission ...with the 5 speed it really can get up and go when I need it to...well enough for me. The only reasons I own a car really are to get to work and get out to find places to explore and I have always been able to rely on this little bugger!Jan 31, 2015

I like everything about this car except its lack of comfort for long trips. I haven't driven it more than an hour one way on more than one occasion, but I am used to cruise control. The front seats have good lumbar support and the cup holders and other items all conveniently placed. The radio is nice! Great sound for an economy vehicle.Jan 17, 2013

Overall I am pleased with the vehicle. The good fuel economy and low maintenance have made for low vehicle expenses. It is an easy vehicle to do the routine tune-up work on. It is a fun vehicle to drive and has a good stereo system. The only problem I had was with the camshaft system, which had some problems with seals and oil leakage. With the exception of repairing that, there have been no other repairs needed on the vehicle. Nov 20, 2011

I love my RS1 Evil Bean, MuWaHaHa!!! the color is amazing, tons of room, and more pep than you would imagine. just can't wait to get more done to it... A s/c would be awesome! Body kit,too. I'm really happy with the car, for the most part.Sep 23, 2009

My xA has to be one of the slowest cars on the planet, but it handles like a kart. It's basically a Toyota so it's built like one. Meaning it will run for many years to come and, at four years old, still feels like a new car. It also gets great gas mileage (around 32 with my lead foot).
I love how it looks. Everyone likes the xB, but the xA looks like a pugnacious little rally car to me.
Driving it is, well, fun, I guess. It's really not made to be driven hard so I can't expect it to put a grin across my face like a 2002ii might.
Cost to operate is very low. Just gas and oil changes is all that it's needed so far (knock on wood).Nov 29, 2008

Bought this car new in July of 2004. It is a Toyota product so you know the quality is there. The sticker said gas mileage was around 38mpg on the hwy and I get around 35. I only have 52,XXX miles on it but the only thing I have done is give it an oil change every 5,000 miles. For a car with a small 4 banger it really does have some "get up and go" when you hit the gas.Sep 27, 2008

It has great HP for a 4 CL and the 1.6L is not that bad; great MPG and I love how the seats fold down for more cargo space.Jun 10, 2008

Its a nice little reliable car. the stereo can really punch if you want and sounds quite nice. It handles extremely well, and for only having 110hp it is nice and peppy.May 18, 2008
