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.

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.

Great little car - 2008 Scion XD
By JMAC - July 30 - 5:46 amIf your looking for a subcompact that is dependable,well built, good on gas and different, then buy this car. This is the second Scion in my family and I can tell you these cars are great deals. Get in and test drive one and see for yourself. If you want 36+ miles a gallon,all the options at one price, and a cool car to boot then buy an XD.

My New xD - 2008 Scion XD
By paul7256 - July 21 - 6:06 amIm so happy I bought this car! I love it! It looks great and feels great and comes with so much fun stuff standard! I was thinking Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris, but when I saw the xD and took it for a ride, I was sold. Consumer Reports recommends the other two Scion models, and Im sure after the xD is on the road for a while, they will also add it to their recommendation list.

Scion xD 2008 4A - 2008 Scion XD
By Spikemcm2008 - July 12 - 5:50 am50ish years old, we just bought a 08 Scion xD 1/2008, love it!! Fun to drive, comfortable, getting 31.5 mpg highway, 26 avg. city/hwy. We check mileage against fillups/hand calculating, and found the on board mileage computer was pretty accurate. Lots of leg room, could use maybe another inch of headroom (for me anyway). Im 6-3", over 300lbs (of pure muscle mind you!) & am quite comfortable in it though. The automatic, shifts smoothly into gear, digital display on dash also. Engine has plenty of power, undercarriage/engine noise is quiet except when passing etc. but not that big of a deal. Can get a undercoat like Ziebarts Sound Barrier for $179 to help deaden sound.

This was the best gift for myself ever - 2008 Scion XD
By Lisa - June 11 - 6:56 amI have had my eyes on this car for the past 3 month, I bought it home with me to many oohhhhs and aaaaahhhh from my family member. When you lay eyes on the Scion from the outside it is TINY, but when you step in its like magic the inter room is amazing! It felt like I was driving a minivan! Everything is perfect on the car. The only, and I mean the only, complaint is that there is no armrest in the front. Since I bought the car I have been looking for excuses to run errands and go to work, just anything that will let me drive the car. It is an amazing car.

Six months later. - 2008 Scion XD
By Pleased Consumer - June 8 - 10:30 pmI purchased the xD in March 2008, and have six months experience driving it. Fuel economy has been a steady 34 mpg, calculated. I have had only one incident where the Vehicle Stabilization Control system automatically worked its magic. It was during a highway run, climbing a hill during a rainstorm when traction was especially bad. The system kicked in at a time when I was unaware that I was losing traction. I maintained control with its aid, slowed down,and carried on with my trip all smoothly, safely done. This VSC is a worthwhile feature. One slight but nagging shortfall in the design of this car is the FEEL of the brakes-- they operate well, but are vague in their feel.

Perfection. - 2008 Scion XD
By MaxM - May 8 - 5:20 pmWhen I was first looking at cars to buy I was trying to find an SUV. I wanted a vehicle that I could put stuff in the back of (home depot trips, etc.). Unfortunately, gas shot up to like $4 a gallon that day so I got rid of the SUV idea. After a lot of researching and reviewing, i went with the xD for its gas mileage, fold- down back seats (my friend and I can finagle our mountain bikes in there and trips to home depot are no problem), a low price tag, and the Toyota built engine. Ive had the car about 6 months now and i couldnt be happier. Its definitely got some pep to it when you hit the gas, too. Good for light stuff, just dont expect to do any heavy hauling.
