Used 2009 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
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!

Sweet Little Ride
Just acquired the Scion XD a week ago. The cash for clunkers program got me to looking, and I almost bought the XB, but am so glad I went with the XD... Better fuel economy, abd a much less boxy look. For a small vehicle, you don't think it is small on the inside. I went from a Tundra to this and I am really impressed. Full height front seats are a real nice feature, though an upgrade fabric would have been even sweeter. Apparently there was a mistake at the factory, cause I actually got a High-Def radio made by Alpine in my XD and yet the catalog says it is only available on the XB's as an option. The invoice shows 400 plus for the Pioneer upgrade, but I got the fully stacked Alpine.
Worth the Wait
I ordered my car the beginning of June and had to wait 3 months for the color I wanted but well worth the wait. I had test drove the Kia Spectra, Nissan Versa and the Xd. I have a SUV also. When on Edmunds, I fell over the review for the Xd and I am so glad I did. After reading multiple reviews I test drove and ordered all in the same day. This car is peppy, much faster than what I would have thought and great on the gas mileage. I no longer get a stomach ache when pulling up to the gas station. I have had it for one month and am averaging 36-38 MPG with about 75% freeway each day. Very happy with my choice. She is so dang cute with her rear spoiler !
Love this xD!
I have only had it for a few days but love it. I did a great deal of research (for years) before deciding on a vehicle. This one had the most to offer for the price plus the looks, cannot beat that!
