Easy to Buy, Easy to Drive - 2008 Scion XD
By romans623 - October 26 - 1:16 pmScion has everything done right, from the interactive website where you can build your vehicle, the pure pricing so you know what youre getting, to the buying experience where you pick the transmission, whether to have VSC or not, and then a list of dealer added options. Then when you get the car, everything is intuitively in the right place, and you dont even have to read the manual, since you can go to the website and watch the instructional videos. The xD is cute, spunky, has a lot of pep, and feels solid for such a small car. Its spacious enough for four adults, and very economical on the gas. It was made for Japanese domestic market so it slips into and out of traffic easily.

Decent car, but wouldnt buy it again - 2008 Scion XD
By DJ - October 24 - 11:06 amI was looking for something inexpensive, reliable, and stylish; Id pretty much had my heart set on the scion tc, but I had hesitations about getting a 2 door, so I got the xd instead. This car is ok, but I have a few somewhat major gripes. There are HUGE blind spots on either side near the rear windows [& a tiny back window], so when I want to change lanes, I feel like Im taking a risk even with turning my head to look and using my mirrors. The brake system is weird, and even though its supposed to respond to a light tap, I have to press pretty hard to get the car to stop, and its a very bumpy ride (even going over parking lot speed bumps feels like off-roading in rough terrain).

Drives Like A "Go Kart" - 2008 Scion XD
By coytheboy - September 4 - 6:10 pmThis is a neat little car that drives like a sports car but gives you the feel that you are in a larger car that grips the road like a Jag. The xD is very responsive and well powered in spite of its economy. It reminds me a bit like a "Go Kart" the way it handles turns. On long trips she is very comfortable and the standard stereo is high quality. MPG is in the mid 30s which is great for such a peppy car. Only negative is that the mirror buttons and dimmer controls are not illuminated at night. No big deal but it would be nice.

I love my Scion - 2008 Scion XD
By Brittani - June 2 - 7:56 amI bought this car two weeks ago. I have enjoyed every second I drive in it. I love that youre in a compact car but you sit high like youre in an SUV. Great pick up and quick slow down. Get lots of curious looks in the car, people not knowing what in the world it is. I absolutely love it.

Better than you might think - 2008 Scion XD
By cindy - May 16 - 9:30 pmIve had the xD for a week and it rocks! Ive got the VSC. When I first drove it to work, co-workers thought I was driving a Lexus, or Acura - in black, the xD is that sharp. Its higher up than you might expect, feels like an SUV on the road. Great on hilly terrain. Everything about it is nice. It has better lines than the Caliber, the Fit, or other Toyotas. Not as low as the Matrix or Prius. Interior dash is attractive, it has great get up and go. Its worth the money, every cent.

I Love My Scion xD! - 2008 Scion XD
By Erin - May 3 - 9:10 pmI traded in a 2005 Ford Escape two and a half months ago for my new xD. The gas mileage is great, I drive about 10 miles every day (back and forth to work) and still never get below 32 mpg. On long trips I get close to 40 if not more. I love the styling, performance, stereo, everything. I researched many other cars, looking for better gas mileage than what I was getting. I settled on the xD due to overall value and standard list of features. I went from driving an auto to manual and it hasnt bothered me at all and I had no problem adjusting to the gauges. The only thing extra I got were floor mats. I love my new xD and couldnt be happier!

The XD I didnt want & now Luv! - 2008 Scion XD
By Arikk - April 27 - 11:16 amI wanted Ford escape hybrid. Husband wanted this trinket car. This car is easy to maintain. It has all kinds of dummy alarms to say "hey stupid u left the lights on or change your oil" etc. One of the best thing is this car is higher of the ground. You dont get stuck in the snow ( I did w/ civic always) with it and my 63" husband can fit in it. I have hip problems. I have no problem get in and out. We packed for our trip and my husband had all this luggage. I thought I got him now! Your not going to be able to put all that and the dog crate in that trinket of a car. Wrong, it was no problem. It has a lot of storage, pioneer radio, I-pod hook up. We went on a 7 hr trip and got 44/g at65. Xd hybrid next?
