What owners wrote

Well, I too have a 2006 scion xa with less than 5,000 miles on it! The left tweeter and mirror combination must be a bad design because mine is leaking and it also caused the tweeter to fail. The ventilation system for heating/cooling and defogging is woefully inadequate. I'm very concerned about the person who stated that his scions have improperly gaped spark plugs!! Doesn't seem like toyota and now, scion is building cars the way they used too.

January 2008

Charcoal canister/evap/fuel filler tube problem. Same as was listed on the technical service bulletin for scion xas and the like. I have a 2006 scion xa. I am still under warranty and they're telling me they won't even cover this under the warranty.
