Of course, if real life means how a typical xA is driven versus the typical Echo, then I agree. The xA begs to be driven at high rpm while the Echo begs to be driven easy. If the Echo is driven hard though, it will no doubt be faster.
My experience is the gearing of a car like the xA makes it feel like it is going faster, but the real world numbers tell otherwise.
The xA is about 1 second faster 0-60 would be my best guess and from what I've read. Figure 9.5 for the Echo and 8.5 for the xA and I bet you'd be right on the money 9 of 10 times.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it :P Your results may vary.
It is easy to believe the xA is significantly faster, as it is 10% less fuel-efficient and has the Echo's engine. The xA is more geared to rev than the lazy-engined Echo. The Echo will go quickly if you push it (I have fun doing that sometimes), but feels like it has taller gears (my seat of the pants impression having driven the xA a bunch of times).

Toyota missing it's market again...aiming at the youth, and getting the boomers. If they weren't so interested in upselling the boomers to the Camry or Highlander, they might sell some small cars if they were accessorized like those sold in Europe.
here is a link to cip1, they have loads of vw stuff.

As I am beyond 4 year 50000 new Vehicle Limited Warranty, but with 5 year 60000 mile Limited Powertrain Warranty.
Can anyone advise if I have a strong case to argue this is covered by VW??????.
In advance, thanks
Not sure that those seals are wear an tear items which I think are only covered for the first 12 months of the new vehicle warranty.
Ah the joys of car ownership.
Is this normal or should I be looking for some other cause?
He IS right that if your alignment is out of whack it WILL eat up your tires in some way.
Don't like the xD much myself.....
