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?

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!!!...:)
