A Blast to drive - 2010 Scion XD
By Ryan - December 19 - 5:16 pmI have just over 1,000 miles on my new ride. It has been great to drive, it is a zippy little car, with good handling. I have averaged 30-31mpg with mixed driving, better than the stated average of 29 mpgs. I like that even the base xD is quite loaded.

To Xd or Not Xd? - 2010 Scion XD
By 1ldhall - July 13 - 8:50 pmI commute the freeways of LA daily for +65 miles one-way. I have driven the Xd for over 6 months and +10k miles and find it both satisfying yet annoying causing classic cognitive dissonance. The power is ok, but not exceptional, gas-mileage is ok but not great, the radio is very annoying to use with so-so audio quality, in LA you need a radio to survive those long commutes. The AC can barely keep-up on warm days on the 101 fwy and its not even summer yet! Only one cigarette lighter that is on only with the ignition; annoying, no arm rest; annoying, road handling; noisy & annoying, cant see the cup-holders in the dark, annoying. There are better vehicles for the money available.

Fun little pocket rocket - 2010 Scion XD
By LFGK - April 29 - 5:10 pmI started to looking at the Scion xD mainly because of price, after driving a Fit standard, Fit Auto, Civic Auto and Accord Auto. I was blown away at how much quieter the cabin was compared to the much larger (and pricier) Accord LX. Had always been a Honda fan, but the road noise is terrible, especially with a lot of "chip seal" roads that we have locally. The Scion was quiet, powerful and comfy with a long list of standard features. My biggest gripe was the dealer put a 2009 Pioneer stereo in the 2010 Scion, therefore, the USB/Aux jack didnt work. Additionally, they didnt have the correct unit in stock when I got there. SO, another visit to the dealer is required.

Tire Size is impossible! - 2010 Scion XD
By ellizona - February 17 - 1:50 amSold a BMW Z3 during tough financial times and I love my little Scion. However, yesterday (before a major holiday) I was stranded in the California desert. I do not blame Toyota for my flat tire. But the tire on the xD DOES NOT EXIST anywhere. I put $60 on my cell phone - "411" charges for calling every Costco, Sams Club, Pep Boys, and WalMart in the hugely populated areas of Riverside and Orange Counties. Had I checked into a hotel to await the arrival of a tire, 5 days. I ended up w/ a tire one size up just to get me home. My Toyota dealership and I will be having a discussion this week. Should they choose to do nothing, I will contact my local consumer media.

By Lori - November 16 - 8:53 pmI am very pleased with this car. Im feeling very hip for being 50+. Love the premium Alpine audio and XM. MPG is great, averaging 35 MPG and Ive seen 39 MPG. Excellent handling and acceleration. Lots of nice standard features for the price.

Best in class - 2010 Scion XD
By Jamie - August 14 - 6:13 pmI believe this car is arguably the best in its class. It has a lot of impressive standard features, extensive customizable options, and solid safety ratings. Its efficient enough for the finance conscious buyer, and sleek enough for the young crowd. You can customize it with navigation, racing peddles, interior colored lights, XM satellite radio,etc. As far as safety, traction control and stability control come standard. The Honda Fit and Nissan Versa dont have those features. The electric steering is also very smooth. The soundsystem is sweet and comes equipped with 6 speakers, MP3/WMA capability, & an iPod/USB jack. Overall, its the coolest and most efficient car Ive owned.

Great car except for the ride - 2010 Scion XD
By Bob - April 19 - 10:50 amIve had this car for two and a half months. I like most everything about it. The quality seems good. It holds a lot of stuff with the back seats folded down. The acceleration is surprisingly good, especially 0-30. The interior is comfortable. Handling is good; body lean is minimal when cornering. The only downside to this car is the ride. You dont feel the smallest bumps, but a somewhat bigger bump, like an expansion joint in pavement, is bone-jarring. Riding around in this car for more than half an hour starts to get irritating. Also be aware that the car requires the more expensive synthetic oil, but Toyota says you still have to change it every 5K miles.

Very Happy With Our Scion XD Purchase - 2010 Scion XD
By Aimee - September 9 - 10:00 amBefore deciding on the Scion XD I checked out the competition, as I was looking for the most stylish, fuel efficient, sporty looking small car I could get at a great base price, with all the features I wanted. Honda fit, the Nissan Versa, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, none compared..they all felt like I was driving a Chevette. The Scion XD feels and looks like a micro SUV. Base package comes with cruise control, power everything, keyless entry system, a very nice pioneer radio, and more. This is probably my favorite new car purchase in 20 years. Theres so much to rave about with the XD. I get 34-37mpg in the city, havent gotten to check out highway yet. I LOVE LOVE THIS CAR!

Great car - 2010 Scion XD
By doccac - March 1 - 4:36 amI am very happy with the XD. My two previous cars were a 328i (2008) and a VW GTI (2009). I am very happy with this little car. Its the least expensive car I have bought in 15 years and yet fun to drive, totally reliable, utilitarian. It is fun to drive, plenty peppy getting on the freeway. I just got 36 mpg in mixed city driving. It is a great car and a great value. Highly recommend it.
