I've heard really bad things about the X-A. On the other hand, the X-B got good reviews. But then it also sort of looks like an ice cream truck.

You could always get a tC. Those look pretty sweet.

We recently bought a tC for my daughter, she loves it. It also seems like a good value, as it come pretty much loaded with lots of little features, a decent stereo (though my daughter's has the ipod option) and lots of airbags for us parents.

No, they aren't electric. I think it's part of Toyota. |

I think the tC is pretty good too. For the price it's quite the value.

ScionB was a "recommended" car by Consumer Reports. If it's built by Toyota it's probably good quality.

The tC is a nice car, but I just have a personal preference for the Mazda3

atatu,
check out: --- www.mazda3forums.com --- www.autoweek.com (go to "forums") or, Goggle "Scion versus Mazda-3, which will bring up a site: http://townhall-talk.edmunds/com/direct/view.ef9557c which has some "apples to apples" comparisons between the two. |

Do you really want to drive a Scion? Get a used car, benefit from someone else taking the depreciation hit.
