I've had my 05 box for 6 weeks.... no regrets. Power, acceleration, and gas mileage are just fine. It has far more power than my old Suzuki Samurai and about the same as the Hyundai Elantra wagon I used to have.

i dunno if this counts or not but i didnt like how when i bought it i was told any toyota dealer could service it. but when it needed servicing my local toyota dealer refused to touch it because they didnt sell scions. so i had to drive an hr+ to get it serviced.
which also factored in when i traded it in recently. i probably wont buy one again until a place closer sells them. its just not feasable to drive an hr away whenever something needs warranty work or to get it looked at.

I guess one of the main reasons I buy Toyota is they are the first new vehicle I owned that never had to go back to the dealer. My 1994 Toyota pick up that now belongs to an employee has never been back to a Toyota dealer. I think I would question whether I wanted service done at a dealership that did not want my business

I just got mine and no regrets so far. Is the gas milage that bad? It could be like a v8 truck chugging gas and the power issue? Hell, you should have read the specs and have done your homework.

I hate to see people buy ECONOMY CARS (ie: Protege, Civic, Focus, Neon, etc) and expect that with a few bolt on mods it'll be a race car. If a modded econo box could beat a ferrari, short of spending 10 times the cars worth, no one would by ferraris.

Regrets? None really. Oh, sure, the paint chipping on the front bugs me a bit, but that is what I kind of expected with a brick on wheels.
The only real regret I have is the poor lighting on the inside. ONE dome light stinks.
The gas mileage for me is above average, (and better then my new Beetle), so I like that. And the power, while not racing car fast, is fine, and what I expected with this car. The AEM CAI has helped a great deal in that area.

I agree with the dome light problem. My only other problem is the lack of power under certain circumstances. It's fine for me and my wife and some stuff but when I have 4 or 5 adults in it, it doesn't like to go well.

My regrets
Gap insurance - with scion security car cant get stolen, slow car means less change of getting in an accident
Scion security- alarm doesnt go off when i tap window or open door while locked...
Finishing touch - doenst cover key scratches
Over priced scion mats from dealer -100 bux for 4 mats
