What A Great Car - 2009 Scion XD
By NC Rob - January 25 - 10:43 amIt 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 amI 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 amWe 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 amTest 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 pmI 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

Xd save me lots of $$$ - 2009 Scion XD
By kmpennington - August 18 - 2:56 amTottally worth the money!!! I have the 2009 model, I drove to Kingsport TN from Hudson, NC...all mountain terrain and still got a whopping 33 mpg...I do have the 5speed though. I loved the way it drives and that it fills up for 40.00. I would drive my scion anywhere short distance or long distance.

Worth the wait - 2009 Scion XD
By Goog49 - July 18 - 3:23 pmI was replacing a 98 Civic Hatchback. Desperately needed Cruise Control because of my commute. Also needed Traction Control because of the snow we get here. Test drove the xD, Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit. The cargo area in the Versa wasnt suitable for my dogs, the Yaris would only accommodate aftermarket Cruise Control, and the Fits seat was very uncomfortable, at least for me. It took a few weeks to get the color and options I wanted. Gas mileage in the mid 30s, so far. Nice acceleration and overall ride. Interior nicely laid- out. Quirky exterior look, but just fine to me!

Great Car For The Money! - 2009 Scion XD
By Mike Sanchez - June 4 - 6:16 pmOver all Ive been very impressed with my 2009 xD. Im a little less than two years out of college and it has been an excellent car for the money. I never thought of myself ever driving a Scion as they tend to be a little quirky looking, some could argue juvenile, but thats what gives it personality. Over all car handling, acceleration, reliability, residual value retention, over all performance, and many awards has made it a reassuring purchase. Ive heard of negative comments about the paint job, road noise, etc but the optional sound deadening package, luster paint finish, etc (Vehicle Shield Protection) makes quite the improvement.

Love My Car it Is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2009 Scion XD
By PRBEBA - June 4 - 1:10 pmI went into the toyota dealer looking for a car that I had rented in PR when I was on vacation. It was the Yaris very good on fuel. Kept looking and saw the new release XD which I fell in love with because the color was green which is my favorite color. I spoke with a scion rep. decided to get the scion XD. Great on gas. Size is perfect for me, im only 4"11 so its just the right size for me. I highly recommend this car to all. It has every thing you need.
