Scion xD = Toyota Corolla hatchback - 2008 Scion XD
By Ken - July 19 - 10:33 amI bought this car along with my trade in of a 93 Honda Civic. I researched similar cars of this type and budget including the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris and Honda Civic. It was a final contest between the xD and the Civic but I found out that Scion is Toyota and the xD uses the same 2ZR-FE engine as in her more expensive cousin, Toyota Corolla. The fact that my last Civic died on me at a red light in a crime infested neighborhood during after hours tells me much about Hondas true reliability.

Great driving, even in two feet of water - 2008 Scion XD
By shamanza - June 24 - 3:16 pmJust drove this car today during a torrential storm. It was like driving an SUV. Whatever the reviews say, take one for a drive and see for yourself. Where else can you get Vehicle Stability Control, a Toyota Corolla engine, great sound, a cool look and a hatchback to boot for quite a good price? Its a great little car, for the money.

Saved my life! - 2008 Scion XD
By Ahowe - April 23 - 10:50 pmI bought this car in February 08 when we sold our Xterra. Already own a 06 corolla, and like Toyotas. This car is zippy, good gas mileage (31 city, 33+ hwy) and looks great. Standard power everything, cruise, you name it! The safety features are all standard- side, seat and front air bags. Good thing, too. A guy in a stolen car ran me off the road and into the concrete median in the middle of the hwy going about 65 mph, and I walked away with a sprained wrists and burns/scrapes from the seat belt and airbags. The car didnt make it, but it did its job. Loved that little car and will miss it, but thankful for the fun it gave me and the life it saved!

Xa to Xd - 2008 Scion XD
By adam - March 26 - 1:03 pmLong time Honda owner (no mas) change to Toyota/Scion and happy. Many Civics, Accords, CRV, never again. Anyway, I traded in the new to me 06 Xa which was a fantastic car, just wanted to upgrade and that is what I feel like the Xd is. I drive fast on the freeway and in traffic and this car is as stated, feels more substantial, less darty, more powerful. Inside the console is ergonomic, there are a lot more standard features and I am 510" 200 lbs and no problem with room. In short, I believe the Xd is a great replacement for the Xa and I really enjoyed my Xa, half of the miles where on the open highway, the other half in Phoenix, the city of bad drivers...

I love this car! - 2008 Scion XD
By Dennis Hunter - February 17 - 12:13 pmI did a lot of research, including going to the auto show to compare the competition - the Golf, the Versa, the Mini, the Yaris, and the Matrix. I was stunned when I found out almost everything comes standard on the car - its a lot of car for the price, and it beat the competition by leaps and bounds! I also love how you sit high in the car while driving. It feels like driving a baby SUV. No buyer remorse here - this car is fantastic!

Love my xD - 2008 Scion XD
By Happy xD Owner - January 3 - 5:53 pmBought this car after researching most of the models in this size. Three things sold me: 1) Long list of standard features, 2) It is a Toyota, 3) Great looking. The only option that I purchased was the floor-mats. So far I am getting 30 mpg back and forth to work and 39 mpg on trips. My family of four takes this car everywhere. There is plenty of leg room all around and it is very comfortable to drive and ride in. We are actually considering replacing my wifes car with an xD. We also like that it feels a bit like driving a sports car. The dealer experience was great with Scions Pure Price. Finally seeing other xDs on the road, but now I am not quite as unique!

Its OK, but Caution Advised... - 2008 Scion XD
By Katie - January 2 - 1:36 pmPrice was OK, but I might not buy it again. Screw went into tire sidewall in July 08, but no tire dealer had the odd ball size--took a week to order. Radio doesnt receive my favorite stations (90 Nissan did perfectly). Owners manual says to use only 0w-20 oil (or 5w-20), but Castrol wont sell it to consumers; my favorite auto shop doesnt buy it in bulk. Very noisy ride--so much so that dog doesnt like it. Doors seem to lock mysteriously, with no door key/lock on passenger side--have to go around. Dash gauges can be seen only by pushing button--not safe to do while driving--odometer should always be visible.

Best Kept Secret - 2008 Scion XD
By Bud - November 28 - 2:53 amNext week, I will have had my Xd for 6 months and have seen only one other, so hence my choice of title. I traded an 01 Highlander and think this is a better vehicle when considering everything; styling, ride, comfort, gas mileage, etc. Also I think it is better than my 98 Landcruiser and my 95 4Runner, all things considered. I have had people quiz me about it and everyone loves it. Why doesnt Scion push this vehicle? When I tell people I have an Xd they assume it is an Xb. Nobody has heard of it. Also, Toyota is bringing out a vehicle called the Urban Cruiser, currently only for Europe. Guess What? It is a 4-wheel drive Xd! Buy this car---youll love it

What fun! - 2008 Scion XD
By kstroup - November 18 - 1:00 pmThis is a great, funky car. Because of the driver position I feel like Im driving an SUV, but it handles like a sporty little car! Plenty of room for passengers. Has great pickup when you need to accelerate fast. Good gas mileage for a non-hybrid vehicle (averaging 33 MPG and I drive mostly city).
