Looking at becoming an xA owner... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I scheduled a test drive for an xA with the 5 speed for Thursday (They didn't have a standard on the lot).

A few questions for you xA owners out there...

How true does the fuel economy actually hold? (32/38, I believe)
I know this topic has been brought up before but I figured after a few miles have been put on it, the engine broken in and such, mileage would go up.

Does the rear hatch seem a bit small for cargo?

I've heard people having issues with the fuel filler. Can somebody explain this to me?

Thanks in advance.

Anybody?

The rear hatch is pretty small with the back seat up. But if you fold it down there is plenty of space. You should get that for gas mileage.

Actually, I should clarify this, I was referring to the rear hatch entry. My bust. I agree with the rear seats down, there is plenty of room. That's not the problem, just trying to get something of that size through the hatch itself.

SOB!! Just got a call from Toyota North in Mount Kisko to tell me that the 2 xAs that were supposed to be delivered for my test drive tomorrow got sold from the other dealership (that they were going to borrow the from). Also said the next one won't be available for another month. POOP!

and yeah, there is a sc for the xa and xb, made by blitz, but like JSVH or wahtever said, they're weak. not as weak as he says i think, but pretty weak.

I heard that TRD is developing a turbocharger setup for the xA abd xB. Blitz makes the supercharger.

Doesnt that yellow tube look like it'll eventually get cut from the frame.
