Do you like your Scion xA?

I purchased a Scion xA last summer and it was the worst car buying mistake I have ever made. I switched from a Jeep Liberty because the gas mileage on the Jeep was too low and gas prices were rising. The Scion xA has provided some relief as far as gas, but not as much as I thought. My car insurance company misquoted me, so the price of insurance went up instead of down. When I drive the car, I feel like I'm in a deathtrap. It's very lightweight and blows around alot in the wind. The automatically adjusting brakes tend to be a little scary as well - if I am in the process of slowing down and happen to hit a bump, I feel the brakes try to adjust themselves under my foot (as if they think it's time for an accident or problem). It's a very strange experience to drive this car, and I really wish I hadn't traded in my jeep.
Has anyone else with a Scion xA experienced any of the same? Stories, comments, concerns?
