  2008 Scion Xd - 2008 Scion XD
  By Xdvnt - April 29 - 1:20 pm

  I picked up the Xd last month after the rising price in gas was making it impossible for me to keep my old vehicle. Went from a Nissan Titan to the Xd and I couldnt be happier. Its so fun to drive. Very sporty and nimble. Lots of get up and go for such a small engine. I was pleasantly surprised at how much room it has inside too. Im 62" and fit in it with no problems at all. When I first purchased it, all I could think about was how much I was going to miss driving my truck. Now, much to my surprise, I enjoy driving the Scion more than I did my Titan. And the mileage is great. So far the lowest tank Ive had has been 35 MPG and I have a tendency to keep my foot in it a lot. Very pleased.

  Love it. - 2008 Scion XD
  By Alan - April 6 - 4:20 pm

  I had to go looking for another car after i was in a car accident in my former scion xA (hydroplaned at 60 mph, hit a guardrail and flipped over, yet walked away without a scratch), so i wanted another car that was safe, and reliable, and still had great gas mileage. well the xD was the perfect car for driving and style. Its different and you almost never see another one on the road, i average 37- 40 mpg depending on where Im driving, its extremely easy to move in and out of traffic due to its small design, and its extremely safe crash test ratings and standard side airbags set my mind at ease. I will be keeping this car for a long time.

  Just traded in my Chevy Colorado extended cab for a xD this weekend and Im so glad we did. My wife and I share a vehicle, she loves our new xD way more than my old truck. Its fun to drive, handles like a sports car, looks great! I drove my wife crazy this weekend asking to go for drives around town!

  Good Economy Car for Rural Area - 2008 Scion XD
  By mjc - March 2 - 9:30 am

  I live in the northern mountains of NH; my driving is mostly rural, seldom faster than 65; there is virtually no stop-and-go traffic. My xD has an automatic and also traction/stability control. My lowest gas mileage has been 37; my highest 40.5. (I figure my MPG mechanically: first click off on fill up with rounding to nearest nickel.) My last three tanks averaged 39 mpg.

  Great MPG & fun to drive! - 2008 Scion XD
  By flyers2008 - February 23 - 12:46 pm

  This is one great car to drive! Plenty of power and Im getting 32 MPG in suburban driving. The kids fit great in the back, even w/car seats and the cargo area can hold a packed ice hockey bag w/o a problem.

  By Nancy - February 3 - 5:10 pm

  I debated which to buy, the Honda Fit or the Scion XD. I decided that I liked the body style better with the XD, I also liked the larger wheels which came standard on the XD (16" as opposed to the Honda Fit 14"). I am so happy with the XD. I drive 150 miles a day to/from work so I log a lot of miles quickly. I am now up to 11,800 miles and have not had a problem. It is comfortable and roomy for 4 adults. We recently took it from Ann Arbor to Chicago for a soccer tournament and had plenty of room for all four adults, we just made sure to pack lightly as there is not a lot of room for numerous suitcases but then again that is not what I bought it for. I highly recommend this car.

  I love this car! - 2008 Scion XD
  By Betsy - January 8 - 12:33 am

  I got my xD for a long commute - I drive 1000 miles a week on average. My gas mileage is consistently 35+ mpg on the highway, 32-34 overall. Its a little noisy, but responsive and smooth. Its cute as anything; people are always turning to check out my car! Ive never owned a hip car before. A little more cargo space would be nice. The stereo controls are great, and I love that cruise control comes standard. I wish the fuel gauge was a little more attention-getting. Sometimes I dont notice that Im low on gas until its been flashing for a while; its not very bright. I actually ran out of gas on my first tank... then again, I should pay more attention!

  my scion - 2008 Scion XD
  By bluedolphinn - September 13 - 9:13 am

  Its a good first time buys. Mileage is great if on highway when using cruise control i could get to about 35-40 mpg depending on my chosen speed. I have no family so the back room is just enough for me and for girls weekend. I helped my friend move and the folding chairs were adequate. The pick up speed going on a highway is a bit slow, I dont like to press the pedal so fast.

  I was torn between the Scion xD and the Honda Fit. I am glad I got the Scion xD. I like being higher up and the xD feels like a more solid car. All the cars were coming with the upgraded radio, but dont be fooled into buying something you dont want. It was easy and quick to order it my way and have the regular radio put in at the arrival port in Jacksonville. That $389 will pay for my window tinting. The only extras I ordered were the electronic stability control & floor/cargo mats. Every other thing I wanted was included in the basic model. It is a fun car and easy to drive and park. I drove a Chevy Cavalier for 22 years and now am a Scion fan. Great value for the money.
