Used 2009 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great little car for NYC - Reliable, Easy to park
If you don’t know it’s made by Toyota sharing a lot of the mechanical parts of Corolla. Very reliable and never a breakdown. My daughter bought it brand new in 2009. I was supposed to sell it for her about a year ago but after driving it back from Massachusetts to NYC I loved the ride quality on the interstates and ease of driving in the city and ability to park it in some tight lots that I decided to keep it for shopping, commuting, even though my wife and I each have our own cars already. But going to sell soon because I have too many cars. It’s got 59,800 on the odometer and only regular scheduled maintenance. New battery and brakes and rotors this past year.

What A Great Car
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.

It's ok.
I really like all of the XD's 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 5'9, 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 can't. I installed an aftermarket armrest...but it's 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.
Cute!
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.
Great Little Car
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. We've 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.
