Im a scion, too. - 2008 Scion XD
By Pleased Consumer - March 13 - 1:30 amI had been driving a Honda Civic hatchback for the last 10 years, before buying this car. I chose the xD after doing research on current small cars. This car surprised me in a few ways : 1) the high value-to- cost ratio 2) the very different look of the car (pleasing, to me) 3) the excellent gas mileage ratings and 4) the obvious commitment by Toyota to "getting it right". I might have purchased an xA if it had been available this year, but not after driving the xD ! I think Toyota has gotten it right with this package. My wife was enthusiastic enough to purchase an xB the following month.

Wifes Car But I Drive It More !! - 2008 Scion XD
By jim@clt - February 7 - 6:00 amBought used fron son of a friend who was going overseas-never considered Scion,but glad we did-its a great car. We bought it just as gas was going +$4.00 so 34+MPG sold us.Small on outside, but deceptively spacious inside-X-L-NT ergonomics. Im 61"and Im comfortable driving or as passenger. Took several 500+ mile trips and no road weariness at all. 4 cyl engine has more than enough oomph for our driving style and tranny shifts smoothly. Long list of standard features(optional on most cars)was a big +.Compacts and subcompacts used to be synonymous with cheap and cramped, but in todays car market,cars in this segment are anything but. Toyota build quality and Scion pricing-cant go wrong.

Im cool at 40+ - 2008 Scion XD
By Mark A. - December 31 - 1:23 amI have had my Scion xD for a week now and know I made the right choice. At 41 Im cool again. I feel like a teenager again, this roomy little car is great. I love the style, love how it handles and plenty of power for a sub-compact. This is my 4th Toyota so I know it will last. The gas mileage is great and I cant believe how simple it was to buy the car. No Hassle and actually a pleasure. Crown Toyota in Ontario, CA. did a great job, thank you. It really is a fun car to drive. Very happy. GOOD JOB TOYOTA!!!...:)

Its only getting better - 2008 Scion XD
By kris - December 28 - 5:03 pmI have my XD for only 3 weeks now thats not a long time but it took me 6 months to decided on a car and boy was it the right one. Its not a car for everyone but you have to judge your needs and figure out whats best for you. The XD has everything I needed power on everything but the seat. ipod connection, decent power for the car it is. Looks cool and with the addition of some aftermarket products it will look great.

Fantastic Little Car - 2008 Scion XD
By Bob - December 22 - 8:56 pmJust a month and half and I am already seeing gas mileage close to 40 mpg. I drive 35 miles everyday and this is average between city and highway. Cant wait to stretch it on highway and see what mileage will be. This is a great car and with this kind of gas mileage it will be a great car no matter what the gas prices become.

Love this car - 2008 Scion XD
By XDFUN - December 10 - 9:00 pmI have had this XD since the beginning of April. I love this car. I have the 5 speed trans and I am averaging between 37 and 39.1 mile per gallon!!! The sound sys is great, the 1.8 engine is the same as the corolla and the body style is original. I have driven a number of Toyotas rav4, corolla, camry and I still like to drive the XD over the others. I highly recommend this car.

Scion xD Good Choice - 2008 Scion XD
By wendy - November 17 - 6:43 amOverall I am completely satisfied with my Scion xD. I purchased a 2008 xD in May 2008 because I commute 140 miles round trip. The xD has all the air bags, ABS and cruise control standard unlike some other small cars I looked at (Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit). My commute is half open freeway and half stop and go freeway. My fuel efficiency averages 35 MPG during the summer with the AC on all the time. I expect it to go up in the fall and winter. The xD is comfortable although the seats could be a little cushier. I think the gauges are well placed. Not having an arm rest doesnt bother me. Main drawback is blocking the sun from the door window. The sun visor doesnt have an extension.

Ideal compact car for runabout in city - 2008 Scion XD
By Rose - September 14 - 12:43 amI live in the city and have a compact garage where only a very few cars could fit easily. With this in mind I bought the Scion xD. This little car has a "big car" feel to it, drives well, has the Toyota assured reliability. I say "Go for it!!"

Love it - 2008 Scion XD
By mtubbs - August 23 - 6:36 pmI have had it for about a week, first tank of gas was 32.5 mpg on the first tank blended city/hwy. I downsized from an Acura TSX and while the xD isnt the same type of car, I actually prefer it when you factor in its affordability. It has enough pick-up to merge on I-95 when it is moving and keep up once you are on. I am 63" and I can sit comfortably in the backseat with the drivers seat adjusted back. I also drove the Fit Sport, and the xD feels like a much more substantial car and has much better pick-up on the road.

Awesome! - 2008 Scion XD
By JACKIE - August 23 - 9:26 amThis vehicle is a blast to drive!! Wish the interior had more options not a big fan of black, or textured dashes. Going from a full size SUV to this was a change but I dont feel cramped in this vehicle.
