I did the research. One year later... - 2008 Scion XD
By Jesse - April 25 - 2:53 amAfter a lot of research and test drives, one year later I still stand by my purchase: It has the most features & style for the price. I drove this car cross-country packed with all of my valuables. The Honda Fit would not have had the power to merge with semis in the Colorado mountains at 75 mph while getting 40+ avg mpg. Thank the xDs Toyota 2ZR-FE Dual VVT-i 128hp engine. I bought this car to drive in LA, so the active head restraints, sideview mirror signals & the airbags for myself AND rear passengers were a major selling point. My friends love the interior design, stereo & comfortable seats too. Compared: Honda Fit Sport & Civic, Toyota Yaris Hatch & Sedan, Mini Cooper

Scion XD - 2008 Scion XD
By Jay - April 4 - 2:30 amMe and my fiancé brought a scion XD about two weeks ago and we both love it. We need something else to drive other then our Denali that has a drinking problem at the moment. We went from putting $110 every four days to $36 every two weeks. We also added the TRD muffler, TRD lowering springs, TRD 18 rims, scion neon blue door trim, upgraded pioneer system and rear spoiler.

Extremely Impressed - 2008 Scion XD
By aesthetitican1987 - April 1 - 10:03 amI had a Toyota Yaris for about two years and finally one day decided to turn it in, and have never been happier. I got a silver, automatic Xd with a few upgrades. The minute I test drove it I knew I had to have one. I like Toyota, but the handling isnt as sturdy as a Scion. Even the case the owners manual is more classy than Toyotas. I am only 20, and its great to know that I can get such an excellent car for a price that I can afford. Also, being an environmentally conscious consumer, this vehicle allows me to be green and have a sense of style. Excellent job, Scion.

Great car - 2008 Scion XD
By Jim - March 25 - 4:26 pmAwesome car! Recently took a trip 335 miles each way, averaged 39.5 miles per gallon. The car handles well and is comfortable and relatively quiet. All the standard safety features make this car an exceptional value.

Compact, fuel efficient and great value. - 2008 Scion XD
By agalcowa - February 22 - 3:04 pmI stumbled upon the Scion Xd while looking for a Honda Civic and Mazda 3. The Scion is most different from the Mazda, but is similar to the Civic in the following ways: reliability, fuel efficiency, and compact size. The car is decently built for a compact car. It shares many components from the Toyota Corolla (engine, tranny, etc) and knobs and other items from the Rav4. For any 4-cylinder car that doesnt have a turbo, I recommend the manual for better control and performance, especially when merging onto the freeway. Overall, Im very satisfied with my Scion and glad that I found it.

I love my scion! - 2008 Scion XD
By LovemyScion - February 22 - 5:56 amI initially went to dealership and was interested in a Corolla. I test drove the Scion and was immediately hooked. It handles like a dream. and its a good looking car. I filled up my tank this weekend with only $27 and it was almost on empty before that. I would buy it ALL OVER AGAIN without hesitation.

Went From BMW to xD & Love It - 2008 Scion XD
By Brenda Richter - February 20 - 1:33 amI traded in my 2003 BMW 325i for the xd car. At first I didnt even think much about looking at the Scion brand because it is marketed to younger people and I am a middle age mom. With my BMW I became concerned about gas mileage and upkeep costs. When it was time to trade the car in I had my mind set on a Prius but after driving the Prius I happened to look over and see an xD. The salesman was reluctant but I insisted on driving the vehicle and loved it. When I saw that it gets only about 11 mpg less than the Prius with a $10K price difference I was sold. My kids call it the Wii car which is funny. Avg 42 hwy & 35 city.

My daily driver - 2008 Scion XD
By scionxd - January 18 - 11:23 pmThe ride to work is better now with the new scion xd. From getting 13 mpg (gmc sierra 2500) to about 34.5 mpg now. The interior room is great for my wife who is currently pregnant, and my dog who loves to move around. The handling is great but it can use improvement, that is why i plan on improving it with official scion and trd parts.

I love my Xd:) - 2008 Scion XD
By sayu - January 2 - 8:43 pmI wanted to get a car that is good on miles, reliable (I was only looking for a Japanese car), and safe. Ive researched so many cars for a few months and it was b/w Civic or Xd. I decided to buy Xd bc of its long list of standard options for this price, and was pretty much in love when I test drove one- it zips very well, inside is roomy, and I actually like its cute looks! Ive only put 200 miles on, and still have a half gas tank! I got close to 42 miles on highway, and Im getting about 31.5 miles in a city drive, with A/C on most of the time(the weakest level though). Ill get 18 inch wheels that makes the car look a lot better. I would buy one again, I love it!

Overpriced for what you get - 2008 Scion XD
By DL - November 11 - 5:16 pmMy wife bought this monday. Over all it is not a bad car but dealing with Scion dealers left a bad taste in our mouth. Scion likes to claim they have a "Pure Price" that is set by Scion but the dealers pile on doc fees and every other fee you can think of. But that is enough about the horrible dealers and lets talk about the xD. The car itself is very small. It is basicly a four door toyota yaris but it does have side airbags standard and in this car you will need them in a T bone crash. My wife thought the ride of the car was ok but to me it felt just like the old scion xA which was bumpy and cheap feeling. The car has about 23 more hp than the xA but on the road you cannot feel it.
