Default Anyone switch from a Toyota Corolla to a Scion Xa?

I am trading in my 2003 Toyota Corolla CE for a '05 Xa. Main reason is because my corolla has 65000 miles on it (I bought it in May of '03) and I have equity in it so I am getting more for it than I still owe. I really like the Xa but I am wondering....is there anything about the corolla that I will miss out having besides a little bigger engine and those obvious things? I'm just hoping I am making the right decision....I love how the Xa drives and I will just be using it for a commuter car so I don't forsee anything.....Just wonding if anyone else has done this also. Thanks

i had a corolla ce 03, it was nice, but i like my xA way better
i worked in DC for like a year and it was so nice being able to have a parking spot, the only thing i miss is more Hp, but thatz wat mods are for, plus my sound system is way better in my xa. its great for a commuter car, get great gpm and its really fun to drive.

yep, just like latino said.

The only (maybe?) thing you might miss is the "lower" hp/toruqe.

but there're tons of aftermarket stuff u can get to make your xA not only faster, it makes it look cool too.

depends on ur imagination.

I went from the Matrix to the xB....

You will miss some of the power, but the handling is better, and you'll turn way more heads. (if that's your thing)

One thing you'll definitely enjoy is the new car smell
