Top Notch! - 2008 Scion XD
By Nate - April 30 - 5:06 amWe just purchased this car last month for a gas saver (Previous vehicle a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado ext. cab) -- Skeptic at first, however I was wrong! This car is not only very good on gas, but it shows quality at every turn. From a guys point of view I must admit I have ended up being the prominent driver (no regrets). Toyota has really landed a nice concept of "a lot of car for your money". It is no wonder that they (Toyota) have secured the title of the number 1 auto manufacturer in the world. Domestic auto makers should take not. Bottom line for those considering... "Economical doesnt mean cheap!" (or boring)

Great little car - 2008 Scion XD
By Carl - April 18 - 1:40 pmTwo months into ownership and we are extremely pleased with the xD. We wanted something that would replace our Toyota Tacoma, which had given us wonderful reliability for 110,000 miles but the 23 mpg was killing me when I drove it for work (my cheap employer who still thinks gas costs $1.20 a gallon pays only 20 cents per mile). I drove the Yaris 4 dr and liked it very much but did not like the auto transmission and the lack of a hatchback. The Scion was just the ticket, exactly what I wanted. I rode the fence between this and the Fit, but I like the bigger tires and higher ride on this and the great stereo system. Best of all is the gas mileage. 44mp on the freeway!

Great Buy - 2008 Scion XD
By annez37 - April 18 - 1:36 pmWe looked at the Pontiac Vibe and a Kia, this car was the most bang for the buck. We got it at the TMV, there was no negotiating. Standard features on the Scion were extras on the other cars we looked at. It drives like a big car, every time I get out of it, I look at it and cant believe how small it is! The Pioneer stereo/cd are great. Cant go wrong with Toyota. 42 mpg highway so far.

Im in Love!!!! - 2008 Scion XD
By LunaFierce - December 2 - 1:10 pmI have had my xD for a little over a month now, and I absolutely LOVE IT! I feel like I am driving an SUV with out having the SUV car payment and poor fuel mileage. I am pulling about 32 city / 37 highway... YES!!! This little car has some power. It accelerates at a decent speed, and it keeps up the pace with minimal gas pedal pushing. And it is a solid car! Yeah it has a little road noise, but when you close the doors, you can hear how well made the car is.

Wow! - 2008 Scion XD
By XD Fan - November 28 - 1:16 pmWe just traded in our gas guzzling minivan for this cute little car and what a great decision it was. The dealership did not budge on the $15,700 sticker price for the base model (which was loaded - no complaints there) with the manual transmission but it was still a fabulous price. We are averaging 38 combined city/hwy mph and a whopping 41 mpg on the highway. No more filling up at $102 a pop. This car sips! We love the ride and there is plenty of room for the kids in the back. Only downfall is that darn arm rest - a driver and passenger one would be nice. Other than that, this is a great car for the money and we highly recommend it. Cant wait to drive it in the snow.

Just about a Perfect 10 - 2008 Scion XD
By Noel L. - November 27 - 2:43 amThis Scion brings back good memories of my first Honda CRX. And its just that, a memory. When Saab says that their cars were born from aircraft concepts, this Scion can claim the same--in spades. From the intelligence systems of the engine and brakes to the VSD option, this car screams ultra-high tech in all the right places. For all the standard features, this car is extravagant when considering the price and ownership costs to all of Europes fragile models. From fit/finish/handling and roominess to a mild carbon footprint, the xD delivers like an F-14 Tomcat. This will become the old Beetle of our generation-- vintage classy with stealth technology.

My Wife Loves It !!! - 2008 Scion XD
By Shella - November 24 - 11:50 pmI recently bought the Scion xD for my wife and all she does is talk about her car. The ride, performance, and safety features exceed my expectations. If I had an opportunity to change anything about this car, it would be to lower the road noise some. Its a little noisy on rougher roads. My wife and I are both impressed with everything else. Very happy.

Awesome - 2008 Scion XD
By bea and matt cooper - November 9 - 11:06 pmWe just purchased this car after looking at many looking for the best mileage. We are both happy. Missing arm rest hope this can get passed on an a little more compartments for storage but I am sure hoping great on gas and all the great safety features. Thanks again proud owners Matt & Bea Cooper

Great Car - 2008 Scion XD
By Genconx - November 4 - 10:43 pmInitially at the dealership I was looking at the new Corolla XRS, but then as I was looking through the lot I saw the xD. Went and took it out for a test drive and was amazed at the power it put out for being a 1.8L. I was also amazed at the leg room that it had because I read reviews saying it was small for those with long legs. At 6ft tall I had plenty of room, and I havent even pushed it back all the way. Overall with options and everything, no other car can compete. Did I mentioned it came with a first aid kit lol.

Great Little Car - 2008 Scion XD
By FBC - October 23 - 9:53 pmLike the way the car handles on the interstate and in town. Super MPG. Wish I had purchased this car sooner.Better than the Fit and the Yaris. Nice sound system, easy to park, great acceleration when passing. I will mostly likely buy another one soon.
