  Great buy!!! - 2008 Scion XD
  By CAnurse24 - November 7 - 9:10 pm

  I just bought the Scion xD last week, and I am so glad I didnt get a civic!! This car is much more stylish and sporty. My husband and I just moved to San Francisco and we quickly realized our 06 Accord was too large for much of the street parking around town. We did a lot of research and a lot of test driving before settling on the xD. The car has great handling and can tackle the citys hills with ease. We upgraded to leather, alloy wheels, and a moonroof from the dealer. This brought the price to just about what we would have paid for a fully loaded civic, but with much more of a "youthful" appearance. It is also great for my 70 mile a day commute to work. Great gas mileage!!

  Loved This Car - 2008 Scion XD
  By mcgooey - August 15 - 12:58 am

  This was my first brand new car. I stumbled upon this car when it first came out. I think I just got lucky with it. didnt know anything about the car but i had been wonderfully happy with this car. it was fun, sporty. had some get up and go. and there were alot of customizable features that you could add to the car. radio was great. love the ipod hook up feature. I was able to get 40 highway and high 20s city. this car was the love of my life. unfortunately it got squished in between a ford f150 and a ford E150. The car actually held up alot better in the accident then I would have expected from the impact, but the car was a total loss. RIP scion XD

  Still Shaking - 2008 Scion XD
  By Sparkle - August 3 - 3:26 am

  I traded an o7 Camry that was paid for, at 18,000 miles, and another year on the 36,000 mile warranty for the Scion xD. The Camry was a sweet ride, and it had all the bells, and whistles, but the gas mileage was nada. Im still shaking just thinking about it, however it cost me no out of pocket money. It was one of the hardest things Ive ever done. I drove the xD home, and the first big truck that came by did not blow me off the road, I hardly felt it. I still have over half tank of gas, at 193 miles. I had two choices, I could look at the Camry in the drive way or I could ride the xD all over the place. Gas in not going down, and I made the adjustment. Im glad I did it. I like to ride.

  Nice little car - 2008 Scion XD
  By GregSurratt - July 22 - 10:03 pm

  After test driving the Yaris and Honda Fit, the peppy engine, higher seating, amazing standard safety features and overall appearance sold me on the xD. My only real complaint is the road noise, but thats of pretty minor importance to me. Its a tight little, precise ride and the manufacturing tolerances are really impressive. Everything feels like quality on the Scion, unlike with the Ford Focus that its replacing. I also love the firmness of the seats. The toggle feature on the l.e.d. odometer which allows you to see your mpg at any current moment is really nifty (although Im a little suspicious of the accuracy of such a device). At any rate, this is an exciting little car.

  Love this car! - 2008 Scion XD
  By Dsimes - June 14 - 1:40 am

  I bought the xD in August of 08 to replace my 06 Cobalt. The xD is loads of fun! The car handles excellent and is quick for its engine size. Im tall and it fits me perfectly. Very roomy inside for its size. It will surprise you in that respect. The 5 speed manual shifts easy. The clutch is a bit tight and requires a few higher revs then my Cobalt did to get moving, but this is an engine that welcomes higher revs. Im very glad I chose the xD for my next car. I have put 10,000 miles onthe clock so far and look forward to putting many more on it! I average around 35 mpg at 69 mph.

  2008 Scion Xd - 2008 Scion XD
  By Xdvnt - April 29 - 1:20 pm

  I picked up the Xd last month after the rising price in gas was making it impossible for me to keep my old vehicle. Went from a Nissan Titan to the Xd and I couldnt be happier. Its so fun to drive. Very sporty and nimble. Lots of get up and go for such a small engine. I was pleasantly surprised at how much room it has inside too. Im 62" and fit in it with no problems at all. When I first purchased it, all I could think about was how much I was going to miss driving my truck. Now, much to my surprise, I enjoy driving the Scion more than I did my Titan. And the mileage is great. So far the lowest tank Ive had has been 35 MPG and I have a tendency to keep my foot in it a lot. Very pleased.

  Love it. - 2008 Scion XD
  By Alan - April 6 - 4:20 pm

  I had to go looking for another car after i was in a car accident in my former scion xA (hydroplaned at 60 mph, hit a guardrail and flipped over, yet walked away without a scratch), so i wanted another car that was safe, and reliable, and still had great gas mileage. well the xD was the perfect car for driving and style. Its different and you almost never see another one on the road, i average 37- 40 mpg depending on where Im driving, its extremely easy to move in and out of traffic due to its small design, and its extremely safe crash test ratings and standard side airbags set my mind at ease. I will be keeping this car for a long time.

  By CJ - March 27 - 11:56 pm

  Just traded in my Chevy Colorado extended cab for a xD this weekend and Im so glad we did. My wife and I share a vehicle, she loves our new xD way more than my old truck. Its fun to drive, handles like a sports car, looks great! I drove my wife crazy this weekend asking to go for drives around town!
