That depends on whether you regard Star Trek V: The Final Frontier as canonical
Does Enterpise-A's short tenure make sense?

I like the Ambassador. I kind of wish the D looked more like it.
"New" is something that the usage of can be argued. Does anyone know the writer/studio intent with the line?
Indeed. The previous owners did not keep up the maintenance
I think we can take Scotty at his word. If he says the Enterprise-A was a new ship, we can be sure it was.
I wish it looked like Andrew Probert's original vision for the class.
What we got onscreen just wasn't epic enough.

New to him is very much an option. Language is a funny thing and not black and white.

It is. Unfortunately.
I think that if the two ships looked too similar, there would have been some confusion in "Yesterday's Enterprise" as to which ship was which at a distance. That's why I prefer Sternbach's version over Probert's.
Oh, I'm pretty sure the implication was that the A was brand-new. All I'm saying is that it's vague enough to be interpreted differently.
Well at least they fixed all the problems by TUC.
Indeed. Seriously.
I mean, we can't prove that he's not under the influence of Q or Trelane, not himself, and uttering nonsense. If we're not supposed to take him at his word, one may as well argue space madness, which can be argued against anything any character has ever said, ever. If we're not supposed to believe what he says, why should we believe what any character says, ever? And by the way, just what happens to a person's memory, after they've used the transporter a hundred times?
I've honestly always been fine with the Ti-Ho explanation from Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise. Making the 'A' not exactly brand new, but low-mileage.
Well, if you're bothering to read the previous posts, his line can be absolutely interpreted more than one way.
A great question for CBS Trek.
All it took was a miracle worker.
Not in any way that is remotely interesting.
Only captained by a little old lady from Pasadena Colony to go to church.
Just took a lot longer than three weeks...
She was the Constitution transwarp testbed. Explains how they got to the center of the galaxy so quickly.
Your interest or not really has little to do with it. One can interpret Scotty's line in multiple ways because it's vague enough to do so.
