Used 2009 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Not Amazing, but great little car
I 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 I'm a lead footed driver). I do have to say, I'm 6'3 & this isn't a great car for tall people (the xB would be a better choice). Haven't 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
Great Car
This is one of the best cars we've ever owned - fun to drive, economical, lots of room for it's size - overall a wonderful car and great buy. No haggling over price. The car handles and parks wonderfully. I recommend a buy. Superior to Fix which I also test drove.

Super fun 2nd Family Car
Needed a 2nd car for all my kid pick- ups and drops. Our Suburban has a severe drinking problem and is in rehab. Looked and researched every car in this category. It was between the xD and the Fit. The xD was $2k less than the similarly equipped Fit and the fit/finish and engine performance was much, much better as well. Also, the Honda dealers came across as very snotty about the Fit, not my thing. Didn't notice any difference between the manual and auto when testing. Handles amazingly well. Feels sporty and luxurious inside. Great on the hwy as well as our rural roads. MPG - solid 31 city (hilly and curvy) and 38 highway. Will be the kids' car in 2 yrs and they love it.
Great First Car
I recently graduated high school, and my parents bought me an 09 xD for my first car. I’m the second owner, bought from my aunt and uncle. It’s amazing on fuel economy, averaging about 30 miles to the gallon combined driving. It has 157 thousand miles on it, running strong. One of the things we had to do was replace the transmission mount, which wasn’t easy. It involved taking out the battery and air filter box, plus a couple of braces just to reach the mount. We got it fixed, though. It came from Texas to Florida, and went from dry to wet heat. A lot of the weather stripping has dry rotted. The serpentine belt needs replacing. Those are the biggest issues, but it hasn’t leaked from the rain we’ve had. The storage capacity is pretty awesome for its size. I’m 6’2, and I fit okay, not ideal, but I make it work. It is great on features for the model year. It starts right up every time. Parts are still easy to get. I would recommend this car! :)

Who Needs a MINI Cooper?
Downsizing in this economy has become a hobby of mine. While I could easily afford my 07 MIN Cooper, I did not relish the thought of the maintenance costs once she was out of warranty. $110.00 oil changes? I've driven both Toyotas and Hondas for the past 25 years, and wanted to once again drive "worry free". After research and test drives of every compact car on the market, I easily chose the new Xd. Amazing quality for $16,000!
