Is the Scion xA a safe car?
Hello, me again. As some of you know, I'm really looking to buy a Scion xA eventually. However, one of my concerns is safety. The Scion xA is a very small car, so I'm worried if I would be safe during an accident. One of my friends said that his friend was almost killed in an accident in his Scion.
So yeah, is the Scion xA a safe car? It doesn't have to be Volvo safe. Just safe enough for the average accident (someone hitting me in the back, etc)

Hmm. I guess that isn't too bad. And to my knowledge, the xA is loaded with safety features, correct?

I think it is a safe car... it has airbags...
It is all relative though... if you want to be the safest, get the biggest SUV you can find.
I drive a motorcycle and a miata with no roll bar... my scion xA is definitely the safest ride.

You don't want a side impact at all. It's a lot safer with the airbags, but still far from what the best modern small cars can do. If safety is the priority, get a large, and low, modern vehicle, especially a sedan. SUVs tip over, and those crashes kill the occupants.
For front impacts, which make up the majority of crashes, the xA does well.
Some if not all of the RS series come with stability control, which saves more lives than anti-lock brakes.

Personally I wouldn't worry about anything.

It looks pretty good, but here in CLT a month or so ago, an xA got hit head on by an old ___ corolla and the guy in the xA died. Gotta say, I would hate to wreck in an xA, coming from my Acura CL, the xA's just a bunch of plastic. It's plastic I love, but still plastic.
