  Love my car - 2009 Scion XD
  By daychele - September 4 - 6:13 pm

  I love my Scion. I drove a Jeep Wrangler before. I still have it but the gas mileage was killing me. I drive a lot. Got in April, has 17,500 on it. It is responsive, handles very well. It has plenty of room for my family of 4. The stereo(base) it great. The gas mileage is much better than advertised. I get 34 on a bad day. Some days 39-40. Curb height is good. It is fun to drive. Routinely drive 75 on the interstate. Not at all squirrely. It goes were you put it. Corners well, stops great. The dealer is also responsive and great to deal with.

  Cute! - 2009 Scion XD
  By Darcie - August 21 - 9:36 pm

  I love the new Scion xD. It is exactly what I need. I bought it after totaling my 03 Jeep Liberty. Needless to say, the gas mileage is a little better.

  Excellent gas mileage - 2009 Scion XD
  By dimplasm - August 21 - 7:33 am

  I love my Scion. But the mileage ratings are low. I get around 34 mpg on a bad day. Some days I get as much as 39. Also I have no complaints about the interior space. I have a family of 4. This is our largest car.

  First 2009 Scion off the lot - 2009 Scion XD
  By klondike - May 7 - 12:10 am

  xD provides better gas mileage than EPA guidance. 34 MPG first tank, 38 MPG the next tank of gas. Car handles and performs well. Bought the manual trans to gain better performance and have not been disappointed. Would recommend the xD as a first car or for those wanting a mix of good performance and mpg.

  What A Great Car - 2009 Scion XD
  By NC Rob - January 25 - 10:43 am

  It is fun to drive, gets great gas mileage (43 mpg, first fill up) and hauls my wife, two labs and groceries with no problems. Salesperson was wonderful - no surprises and all the tech info I needed. I would recommend this car and dealer to anyone wishing for max value and pleasant, safe and fun driving.

  Fun in the New Look - 2009 Scion XD
  By Charlie M. - January 11 - 12:36 am

  I just bought The 2009 XD Scion. It only gets better as you drive . The Fuel Economy is superb and the Pioneer sound system rocks.I looked at the Focus. I was sold on the XD. 15,800 for a fully loaded Automatic. I was looking for a manual But the dealer with the "Fixed pricing" cut a deal for a sure sale. Im not in anyway sorry for this choice. I came out of a Sable full loaded with sound system to rock your socks off 0-60 in 5.5. For the price and performance and GAS MILEAGE,you cant go wrong. It has pep like a V-6. Test drive one before you buy. You wont be sorry .Only down fall no center arm rest. Compartments everywhere.FUN TO DRIVE.... Oh yeah I wanted a sun roof like the sable .none

  Great Little Car - 2009 Scion XD
  By Jim - October 14 - 2:10 am

  We bought our Scion two weeks ago and are really love it. It has more power than we need, is comfortable, build quality is superb, and gas mileage is also really good. Weve only gone through one tank of gas so the following numbers may be not be real accurate. However, the calculated mileage was 31.5 mpg while the computer average said it would be 32.9 mpg. We live in the Sierra Foothills and go up and down 1,000 to 2,000 feet and that cuts into our mileage. Our driving is probably 70% highway and 30% up and down. On the highway, I believe we are exceeding 40 mpg when "straight and level" if the computer is accurate within 2 mpg.

  Good ride without the superfluous stuff - 2009 Scion XD
  By VA driver - September 22 - 9:46 am

  Test drove Fit, Versa, Corolla, Camry, Civic. Liked the xD the best. Honda cars didnt respond well and the Versa didnt have a flat cargo space when the seats folded down. The xD responds right away when I push the gas. The manual transmission is geared better than the Fits. I dont find the dials as hard to read as others say. The actual gas mileage is always less than the electronic meter on the car tells me it is, but I still get around 35 highway (~75mph) and easily 32 mixed. At lower speeds (~65mph) on the highway Ive gotten higher. The cup holders are in weird places, usually low and not within reach without leaning. No armrest, but I dont feel like it needs one. Overall great car!

  Not Amazing, but great little car - 2009 Scion XD
  By beezee - September 20 - 9:20 pm

  I bought a Scion because I loved our 2007 xD and have loved the Scion brand/product. Its a fun little car. Great pick-up when you need it. It gets great gas mileage - I do 50/50 city/freeway and get about 31mpg (and Im a lead footed driver). I do have to say, Im 63 & this isnt a great car for tall people (the xB would be a better choice). Havent had any issues in the year of ownership. The adjustable back seats are loved by passengers & there is actually ample leg room back there (the flat back floor helps too). Holds lots of stuff when you need it. Major complaints...cup holder placement stinks & where the heck is the armrest?! Not deal breakers for me, but my be for the heavy commuters
