<p>Son has had his Scion Xa for three years. He can carry 5 college kids w/o problem and none are tiny. Very easy to park on crowded campuses, great mileage. I am comfortable for about an hour, son is never uncomfortable. The first 3 oil changes are free, the first real service is just a bit more than an oil change. I insisted on the side air bags. We had him drive my SUV on cross country road trip but he says his car would have been fine. The tc wasn’t out when we got his, and it would have been a few K more. Consumer Reports did mention that some of the tires for the tc are costly.</p>
