  Love My Xd - 2009 Scion XD
  By Bree - May 18 - 8:20 am

  Traded in our 2001 BMW 330Ci & bought the 2009 Xd earlier this week. So far absolutely loving it. Its surprisingly roomy & comfortable on the inside despite not being a large car. The gas mileage has been great. The interior seems to be well thought out for the driver with plenty of compartments & were looking forward to having this car for years to come.

  I like my xD - 2009 Scion XD
  By Superhawk - May 12 - 9:30 pm

  Bought xD using Cash for Clunkers. My 1998 Ford Windstar had 218,535 miles and was the best vehicle out of 45 I have owned. I also drove the Honda Fit and Insight. Have 1,000 miles on xD now. Overall, I am very pleased. Decided at last minute to get the 5 speed manual. It was a great decision as I prefer controlling when shifts occur. The car has enough power for most situations. The engine is very smooth and quiet. Road noise is not an issue. The transmission shifts very well. The handling is tight and the brakes are good. My gas mileage went from 18 mpg in the Windstar to 31 mpg (mostly to and from work) and I drive fairly aggressively

  Great replacement for 14 mpg Jeep - 2009 Scion XD
  By Lancoman - February 2 - 1:13 am

  Purchased this vehicle during "Cash for Clunkers" (Thank you to all tax payers). Inside space is excellent; I am 61" and my head does not hit the roof > amazing. Got the Release 2 model in Wasabi Green > nice. Radio w/GPS, accent lights are main adds. I get about 36 mpg at 70 mph most times. Looked at Honda Fit; decided not be yet another Honda sheep.

  A great change of pace! - 2009 Scion XD
  By jseejr - January 3 - 1:10 am

  What an unbelievable car for the money! Went from a 2008 Honda Accord coupe, needed a 4dr for upcoming baby, and have not been disappointed. Great interior features like ipod hookup, steering wheel controls, cruise control, stereo cranks for a little car, and superb gas mileage. Originally thought styling was a little goofy, but have adjusted to it because its so much fun to drive. Best bang for your buck out there right now if downsizing. You wont regret this purchase!

  Best car for the money/segment - 2009 Scion XD
  By rubygem73 - October 29 - 11:26 pm

  I did my research ... I compared XD against the sentra, fit, civic, mazda 3, and lancer. I wanted a car with some power, loaded, good das milage, best resale value, and fun to drive. Hands down the civic beats all the others. The fit was close in all categories, but one test drive of the fit and youll go running back to the XD ... the fit has no power.

  Clunker Replacement - 2009 Scion XD
  By Whitney - October 1 - 6:06 am

  I work for a Toyota/Scion dealership and was the first person dealership- wide to trade in a car (RIP 1986 Mercury Cougar) under the Cash For Clunkers program. I was REALLY attached to my Cougar and the whole experience was heartbreaking, and it took me a while to bond with the xD. But dont let my ridiculous emotions sway you: the xD is an awesome little car. My purchase was between it and the Yaris S, and it blew the Yaris out of the water on so many levels. And to put on my sales hat for a second, this thing has loads of standard features, plenty of space, ample peppiness (Ive never owned a 4cyl before and that was a concern, no problem though) and legendary Toyota Quality. Just buy one.

  Very pleased !! - 2009 Scion XD
  By D.B - April 3 - 1:56 pm

  This is a sporty, efficient yet practical car. I would highly recommend it. The manual tranny gives more of a driving experience. Accessories are hard to get at an affordable price. Responsive steering and handling. In my opinion has plenty of power. It gets up to speed quickly. Has way more options than the competition, I.E. ABS brakes, power door/windows, etc. By far the best value out there.

  Fun Economical Car - 2009 Scion XD
  By Steve - March 14 - 1:46 pm

  Bought this car for use as my wifes and myself commuting car and to keep the SUV in the garage to keep the miles off it and save some money in gas. We keep the rear seats down and use the area as a cargo area. The dogs love the cargo area as well. We purchased an after market rubber mat that covers the complete cargo area (with the seats down). The car looks small on the outside, but inside there is a lot more room than youd expect. We did look at the Honda Fit, but liked the look and the wat the xD drove. Also, the local Honda dealer marked up the price of the Fit by $2500 over MSRP and unwilling to negotiate off that price. Glad we passed on the Fit. The Xd fits our needs.

  Its ok. - 2009 Scion XD
  By Communter! - December 27 - 9:06 pm

  I really like all of the XDs features. The IPOD connection, steering wheel controls, and mpg calculator. I love the styling of the car. The downsides: I seem to be too tall for the car. I am 59, and my knees touch the bottom of the steering column. I try to get comfortable since I am driving 200 miles each day...but I just cant. I installed an aftermarket armrest...but its just not the same. The seats are not as comfortable as you would like, and they force you to sit up, and do not hug you like many cars.
