  I like it - 2008 Scion XD
  By I like - October 19 - 3:13 am

  Wife and I test drove corolla, yaris, civic, fit, suzuki. The xD had the best drivers seat for my 210 lbs. The interior did not feel cheap like the other cars did. Did not even look at the scion brand, untill salesman pointed out the new xD, at first I did not like it. It looked tiny from the outside, however after riding in the back and then driving the xD my opinion completely changed. Wife and I bought the black xD. First tank of gas mpg 41, we live in a rural area 50 mph highway, pacific northwest area.

  A Scion of the times. - 2008 Scion XD
  By JT Hall - October 17 - 8:03 pm

  I bought the Scion xD after driving the xA from an ebay sale, downsizing from a pickup truck which i can no longer afford to drive. After two weeks of both highway and around town driving, I find the xD to be fun to drive,comfortable and very economical (35+ combined mpg.) Although you wont win any drag races in a Scion, it will zoom up to highway speeds quickly enough where it floats effortlessly at 75+ mph. Handling and cornering are excellent and the seats are firm and supportive. In spite of its size the xD drives like a larger vehicle. Fold the seats down and theres plenty of room for your stuff. It was a great choice. Im going to keep it.

  Paint an issue - 2008 Scion XD
  By WHY? - October 9 - 11:36 am

  I am so disappointed with my xD. I researched countless vehicles until I decided on the xD. Bought it last week and it already has paint chips and scratches (and I dont drive in rough areas). In fact, upon closer inspection -- dirt combined with dew is actually what is causing the scratching, while Im driving. Also has a small rust spot on the back. This car is only one week old!! Will be taking it back to the dealer tomorrow for inspection. Be warned!! I wish I stayed with Honda.

  What a freaking fun car!!! - 2008 Scion XD
  By Jamie - October 1 - 4:40 pm

  I love this car! I test drove the Yaris, the Chevy Aveo and the Corolla and then my salesperson introduced me to the Scion xD. I loved it from the moment I test drove it. I have never smiled during a test drive, but the xD just is fun! I couldnt help it. The standard upgrades like great stereo and iPod hook ups are really great. The get up and go power is much better than the other vehicles that I compared it with. Also the interior room is much more spacious. I wasnt really fond of the interior black color at first, but I have really come to like it. The standard safety features are really nice too. Also, the pure price deal makes the buying process so much easier! I love my scion!

  Funky stylish little car - 2008 Scion XD
  By Lena - September 17 - 5:43 am

  My new 2008 scion hatchback is anything but boring. Great acceleration, tight turns. 16 inches wheels are making mountain dirt road fun to drive on. Stability control system is useful safety feature if you plan to take your car on a ski trip. If it is designed for young people it could be well designed to make you feel young.

  Great Buy - Great Fuel Ecomony - 2008 Scion XD
  By Tim from Nebraska - September 14 - 5:46 am

  Have had my xD for about 18 months (33,000 miles) and love it. Depending upon how you drive, youll meet or beat EPA. I drive on the slow side and have gotten 45 mpg highway more than a few times (yes 45!) even with family of 4 in the car. In summer, I regularly get 34-36 with mixed driving. The car is fun to drive and comfy for me (Im only 5 5" though). First car I ever bought new. No problems in 18 months. Tires still in good shape too. We test drove every car in this class (Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Kia Rio, Hyndai Accent, etc..) and felt that this was the best buy and ride for the money. Standard features cant be best. Highly recommend!

  Very Cool Econobox - 2008 Scion XD
  By BillyBones - June 15 - 4:23 am

  Wifey and I owned a 2002 Envoy before buying our Xd. We got it with black 18 inch wheels, rear spoiler, mats, chrome decoration and the blingy interior lights. Got hosed on our trade, but doesnt everyone with an SUV today. Went from putting $70 a week in gas to $35 every 2 weeks. Maiden voyage was 1200 miles round trip from Ct. to southern Virginia. Highway average was 38 mpg. After coming home, we get 30 mpg in all around driving. Thats with a straight gear, light foot and hyper-mile-ing. A very comfortable car(we drove 10 hrs), power is a little short, but past 3500 rpm and it zips real nicely. We drove the Civic and I really liked it. But, I liked the hatchback and the Fit was just boring

  Great Car! - 2008 Scion XD
  By PSD - June 1 - 8:30 am

  I was debating between this car and the Honda fit, but I am so glad that I chose this one. Its much more stylish than the Fit, has the great option of vehicle stability control. And the safety features were a big seller for me, as I plan to have children in the next few years. Overall, this car is even better than I expected. It handles extremely well and is quite fun to drive. The radio/CD/iPOD controls on the steering wheel makes it easy to listen to the music you want. There is a lot of room in this little vehicle, and the engine has quite a bit of pick-up. Toyota did a fabulous job in making this vehicle.

  All-around great little car! - 2008 Scion XD
  By phxpatrick - May 30 - 8:43 pm

  With gas at $4 a gallon, I researched several higher-mileage cars including the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, and the Scion XD. I chose the Scion even though it didnt have the highest MPG ratings, but it did come with far more standard amenities and just as many safety features as the others. To add all of the standard XD features to the Yaris, Versa or Fit, and youd bump their prices higher than the base XD. In addition to the great mileage (Im averaging about 33 MPG in mixed- conditions, driving 50 miles a day), it has 128 HP which gets me in and out of traffic quickly. Im 511, 200 lbs, and theres plenty of head, leg and hip room. I highly recommend the XD!
