2012 Scion xD Release Series 4.0 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

Only had this car less than a month, but so far it's awesome! I did have to ding the build quality a bit though in the rating due to a sad discovery where the new Scion Premium Audio System (new for 2012) appears to not work with the SiriusXM. Scion Corporate in California is now aware and is working on it personally. Problem is only limited to the Release Series tho, so be rest assured it will work in a Base xD. As for the rest of the car, LOVE the way it drives and feels. It feels so good around tight turns and contrary to what some others might say, I find the seats quite comfortable and supportive. A little anemic uphill, but otherwise, a zippy ride. All around, I would recommend it!

2012 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

This Scion hatchback has been a very dependable every day commuting vehicle for me and my family. I enjoy this 4 cylinder Toyota motor. It has plenty of horse power for its class at 128 hp. The xD has some great get up and go. I own the manual transmission, and it sure is quick to pick up speed. The electronics are great in it too. My xD comes equipped with a Pioneer led touch screen with CD, AM/FM hd radio and USB music capabilities. Traction control is standard with my model and it drives well in the rain and snow. Tires are an odd size at 16 inches, but that hasn't been a problem for me. Just call in advance and pre order your tires. Speaking of tires, the xD is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. The rear seats are groovy, they can recline and the posture is nice for a rear seat passenger. if you are taller than 6 foot 7 inches it is a bit snug, not for the extremely tall. I am happy to own this misfit hatchback. I was considering the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa hatch or the Ford Focus hatch. After many test drivers, I am glad I choose my Scion xD. It has allowed me to attend some amazing Scion exclusive events back in the day. The Scion brand may be gone, but the continued support from Toyota has been amazing. And years later this misfit keeps going and going! I dig this car!

2011 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful

I have owned a 2011 xD for approximately 6 months now. We are averaging 34mpg. with a variety of in town and over the road driving. I think that the passenger room is better than either the Fit or the Fiesta. Sitting in the rear is excellent, and better than either of these competitors. Those cars were cramped compared to the xD. I am 6 ft. and 185lbs. The front seat contours are sweet and hold you in place firmly during turns. The iPod feature runs seemlessly with the radio from the steering wheel controls. Suspension is a bit stiff, but it has a sport feel to it that way. We have the 5 spd manual and really like it. I am looking forward to how it drives in our Wisconsin winter.

2012 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
12 of 13 people found this review helpful

I got my little baby October 3rd 2012 brand new from the dealer with 16 miles on it. The xD had been one of my top choices over the previous year I'd been car hunting. It was between this and the Kia Rio hatchback. My reason for choosing this one? It comes with EVERYTHING most other cars charge an arm and a leg for and it's a Toyota, it'll run for ages. Being my first car ( well first bought) I really wanted the best bang for my buck. It's not anything fancy, the interior is ultra basic but it has everything I need! The get up and go surprised me! I have no troubles getting around slow cars if needed! Also, In city I'm averaging 31mpg! On long drives I get about 37!!

2010 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I am very happy with the XD. My two previous cars were a 328i (2008) and a VW GTI (2009). I am very happy with this little car. Its the least expensive car I have bought in 15 years and yet fun to drive, totally reliable, utilitarian. It is fun to drive, plenty peppy getting on the freeway. I just got 36 mpg in mixed city driving. It is a great car and a great value. Highly recommend it.
