Good Economy Car for Rural Area

2008 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I live in the northern mountains of NH; my driving is mostly rural, seldom faster than 65; there is virtually no stop-and-go traffic. My xD has an automatic and also traction/stability control. My lowest gas mileage has been 37; my highest 40.5. (I figure my MPG mechanically: first click off on fill up with rounding to nearest nickel.) My last three tanks averaged 39 mpg.

This has been the best compact car I have ever owned. It gets 34 mpg all the time and thats city and hwy. Driving. If you want good looks, reliability, performance and lowest owner ship costs this is the one!

I traded in my 2006 Volvo XC90 for the 2008 Scion xD for the gas savings. I get nearly double the gas mileage now. I still use a rear-facing car seat for my baby and it actually fits better in the back seat of the Scion than it did in the Volvo. I think it has as much to do with the shape of the dashboard as it does with the roominess of the back seat, but whatever the reason, the front passenger is always glad not have knees jammed up against the dashboard. Because the xD is tall with a high seating position, downsizing from an SUV was not nearly the adjustment I thought it would be.

After buying the XD for my wife and loving the performance, gas mileage and all around fun driving this car my Ford Wagon went down. We decided to get another XD and as of today we are a 2 Scion family. No more fighting over who drives what today, We even got the same Red color. A 2 red Xd we feel really young again and are having a blast Highly recommend the Xd to drivers that want to feel fun again.We love all the options that come standard, We Rate the scion XD 100 out of 100.

The first time I saw this Barcelona Red Scion I loved it and it has proven to be a good purchase. I needed a reliable car to bomb about town and for short range (<500 miles) highway trips, although took did a 2000 mile trip and car preformed great. I also needed good cargo capacity and excellent gas mileage. It has proven itself on all counts. The red color is very easy to spot among all the silver cars in big parking lots. I also keep the rear seat down for hauling cargo; mostly golf clubs and groceries.
