I love my scion!
I initially went to dealership and was interested in a Corolla. I test drove the Scion and was immediately hooked. It handles like a dream. and it's a good looking car. I filled up my tank this weekend with only $27 and it was almost on empty before that. I would buy it ALL OVER AGAIN without hesitation.
I'm a scion, too.
I had been driving a Honda Civic hatchback for the last 10 years, before buying this car. I chose the xD after doing research on current small cars. This car surprised me in a few ways : 1) the high value-to- cost ratio 2) the very different look of the car (pleasing, to me) 3) the excellent gas mileage ratings and 4) the obvious commitment by Toyota to "getting it right". I might have purchased an xA if it had been available this year, but not after driving the xD ! I think Toyota has gotten it right with this package. My wife was enthusiastic enough to purchase an xB the following month.

Love my xD
Bought this car after researching most of the models in this size. Three things sold me: 1) Long list of standard features, 2) It is a Toyota, 3) Great looking. The only option that I purchased was the floor-mats. So far I am getting 30 mpg back and forth to work and 39 mpg on trips. My family of four takes this car everywhere. There is plenty of leg room all around and it is very comfortable to drive and ride in. We are actually considering replacing my wife's car with an xD. We also like that it feels a bit like driving a sports car. The dealer experience was great with Scion's Pure Price. Finally seeing other xDs on the road, but now I am not quite as unique!
Awesome
We just purchased this car after looking at many looking for the best mileage. We are both happy. Missing arm rest hope this can get passed on an a little more compartments for storage but I am sure hoping great on gas and all the great safety features. Thanks again proud owners Matt & Bea Cooper
Extremely Impressed
I had a Toyota Yaris for about two years and finally one day decided to turn it in, and have never been happier. I got a silver, automatic Xd with a few upgrades. The minute I test drove it I knew I had to have one. I like Toyota, but the handling isn't as sturdy as a Scion. Even the case the owners manual is more classy than Toyota's. I am only 20, and it's great to know that I can get such an excellent car for a price that I can afford. Also, being an environmentally conscious consumer, this vehicle allows me to be green and have a sense of style. Excellent job, Scion.
Love this car
I have had this XD since the beginning of April. I love this car. I have the 5 speed trans and I am averaging between 37 and 39.1 mile per gallon!!! The sound sys is great, the 1.8 engine is the same as the corolla and the body style is original. I have driven a number of Toyota's rav4, corolla, camry and I still like to drive the XD over the others. I highly recommend this car.
Love it!
After considering other cars such as the Ford Escape, the Toyota Yaris, etc. We purchased this car about a week ago. I love it! It runs smooth and the added alloy wheels make it look great. I love the electronics! It gets great gas mileage.
Great Buy
We looked at the Pontiac Vibe and a Kia, this car was the most bang for the buck. We got it at the TMV, there was no negotiating. Standard features on the Scion were extras on the other cars we looked at. It drives like a big car, every time I get out of it, I look at it and can't believe how small it is! The Pioneer stereo/cd are great. Can't go wrong with Toyota. 42 mpg highway so far.
42 MPG!
I recently got rid of my 12 MPG gas guzzler. I wanted a small car for banging around Boston, running errands, and road trips. I purchased a 2008 Scion XD with every bell and whistle available. After owning it for two weeks, I took it on a road trip from Boston to Upstate NY (600 miles round trip). On the first 300 miles, I got 42 mpg with my manual transmission. I traveled secondary highways through New Hampshire and Vermont, where the speed limit was @ 55 mph. The return trip averaged 40.5 mpg. My daily commute (a whopping 2.5 miles) scores @ 36 mpg. This car is an amazing gas sipper!
So much fun!
Just traded in my Chevy Colorado extended cab for a xD this weekend and I'm so glad we did. My wife and I share a vehicle, she loves our new xD way more than my old truck. It's fun to drive, handles like a sports car, looks great! I drove my wife crazy this weekend asking to go for drives around town!
Love My 2008 "Lil Hottie" Scion XD
I purchased my 2008 Scion Xd a week ago and I am enjoying my drive. It is a fun car to drive and I look forward to driving it every day. It is a little noisy but the standard features outweigh the road noise. I test drove the Honda Fit, the Nissan Versa and the Honda Civic before test driving the Scion Xd and when I did I knew I had found the car. It was fun to drive and all the standard features. The gas mileage is what they say 26 city avg. and 32 hwy miles. I mainly drive city miles. I do wish it had a center armrest. Wished the VSC would come standard but other than that I love my Scion in red. Enjoy when I see turned heads as I drive by. I love it's uniqueness in looks. Love it!
Fun Urban Transportation Module
Love the hip modern styling. This car appears has more interior room than its outside size would allow. It is easy to park and is loads of fun to drive. The car does have a blind spot that takes getting used to. I drove a Honda Fit before purchasing my Scion XD and other than the gas mileage I have no regrets with my purchase. I recommend this car to anyone that needs a dependable well built car with great resale value. I also considered the Smart car. But after its initial reviews would much rather own a Scion XD.
My First Toyota
Bought second hand w/40000 miles. Short wheel base gives bumpy ride on wash-board roads. Should improve shocks and suspension. Had one questionable acceleration under damp/rainy conditions.
Great Little Car
Like the way the car handles on the interstate and in town. Super MPG. Wish I had purchased this car sooner.Better than the Fit and the Yaris. Nice sound system, easy to park, great acceleration when passing. I will mostly likely buy another one soon.
