Love it! - 2008 Scion XD
By vdurb - May 4 - 3:16 pmAfter considering other cars such as the Ford Escape, the Toyota Yaris, etc. We purchased this car about a week ago. I love it! It runs smooth and the added alloy wheels make it look great. I love the electronics! It gets great gas mileage.

Fun Urban Transportation Module - 2008 Scion XD
By Clyde - April 21 - 7:06 amLove the hip modern styling. This car appears has more interior room than its outside size would allow. It is easy to park and is loads of fun to drive. The car does have a blind spot that takes getting used to. I drove a Honda Fit before purchasing my Scion XD and other than the gas mileage I have no regrets with my purchase. I recommend this car to anyone that needs a dependable well built car with great resale value. I also considered the Smart car. But after its initial reviews would much rather own a Scion XD.

Great Car! - 2008 Scion XD
By HappyScionOwner - March 21 - 7:16 pmOverall this is an excellent car. Its tiny on the outside (although it looks muscular) but its really surprising how much room there is inside. Plenty of leg and head room in the front and back seats. This allows for a spirited drive and easy parking with plenty of comfort and utility. Nice compromise. Gas mileage is decent although I get better economy in my larger Corolla. The engine is nice and smooth with plenty of power, although it seems a little rough when first accelerating with the automatic. I expect amazing reliability, just like all Toyotas. Although its nice to have the aux and iPod inputs on the stereo, the sound quality is poor. Not enough mids.

Im in love - 2008 Scion XD
By Eris - March 8 - 5:53 pmI just bought my xD two days ago and I havent even learned how to use 90% of the features and cant really rate it on reliabity, fuel consumption, etc., yet. Its fun to drive and extremely potent for its size. Leg room isnt important to me since Im 52. I really fell in love with its design. To me it doesnt look like a rhino, its a curvy cute alternative to the boxy boyish xB.

Its A Winner - 2008 Scion XD
By Its A Winner - February 22 - 6:13 pmI am a visiting Nurse and am in my car all day, going from patient to patient. Needed good MPG. Looked at Versa, Fit And Suzuki SX4. It was between XD and SX4, would buy this car again tomorrow. I LOVE it. It is fun to drive, fits anywhere and has good pick-up. Agree with need to decrease road noise, wish there was an armrest, and that doors lock when car is put in gear. I get many questions and compliments on my zippy red XD.

I love this car - 2008 Scion XD
By Reesfun - February 22 - 12:50 pmSuch a great little car...especially for the price. The gas mileage is fantastic. After 5K miles I have consistently averaged 36+ MPG with combined in city hwy/street driving. Highway mileage alone has come in as high as 42MPG. This car is fun, easy to drive-turn-park and fits me perfectly. My hubby 6 3" hubby purchased an XB and I fell in love with it with one exception...its just TOO big inside. I found myself having to reach too far for everything. But the XD has everything at perfect arms length. And the clutch is light and the manual trani is easy to shift. The only negative is that at 5K it has more "little noises" than I would have expected from a Toyota product.

Great entry level car - 2008 Scion XD
By john - January 16 - 11:20 pmIt was between the Scion xD and the Honda Fit. I test drove the fit and then the xD and there was no decision to be made - the xD easily. The cars are comparable, except the engine. You can really feel the xDs power compared to the Fit, and it makes the Fit feel cheap. The only 2 issues with the xD: 1) The cabin ride is not very quiet. If you like a silent ride, this is NOT the car for you. 2) No arm rest. I have a stick, so this isnt so much of an issue. But if I had an auto, this would drive me insane.

Glad I Didnt Buy the Honda Fit - 2008 Scion XD
By Aleida - December 23 - 5:50 pmI should be getting speeding tickets every time I drive it...Im having tons of fun driving a stick again. On the freeway Im doing 80 without realizing it. In the beginning gasoline would splash back out at every fill up. It took two visits to the same dealership to get the problem fixed. My description was not adequate so the second time the service manager hopped in and we went to a gas station and he saw it happen.

love the scion - 2008 Scion XD
By andy - December 19 - 12:50 amjust bought a new scion xd and love the car. i am getting about 35 mpg which is the main reason i got it. you get a lot for your money with the car from the stereo system to all the airbags that come with it. i live in vermont and it handles the snow somewhat like an all wheel drive. i feel like the car is a mini suv, with height of it, plus the excellent gas mileage.

Love this little car! - 2008 Scion XD
By plewis - December 6 - 11:30 amI just love my Scion xD! It is very comfortable to drive, handles well and the savings on gas is outstanding. I used to drive a Hyundai Santa Fe and while I loved that car as well, the gas costs were starting to get old. The knowledge that it is a Toyota product was also a deciding factor. I went into the dealership with the intent purpose of buying a Toyota and when I compared the "standard" options of the Matrix against those of the xD, it was no contest. Not to mention the price which was a lot less for the xD.
