Used 2013 Scion xD Consumer Reviews
Daily Driver
Purchased it with only 10k miles, now we are at 250,000. Great daily driver, not luxury by any means. But gets the job done, getting about 30mpg highway. Paint has begun to get cancerous marks on the hood and roof. I had half of it repainted, but now the top of the doors are flaking. The inside rattles and driving noise is really loud over 65. Only had the alternator fixed and spark plugs, nothing major. The speed up hills (like Cajon pass) I have to drive in the slow lane. Plan on keeping this car until it dies. Do not recommend for road trips, as not comfortable. But it surprisingly fits a lot in the trunk (washing machine, etc).
Funnest Car Yet!
First I test drove the Kia Soul, and while I really liked the design and features of the car, I found it to be much less zippy, dare I say, gutless, even in comparison to my Hyundai Accent. The Soul had a 2.0 with 150 horses, but was so low on torque and so unresponsive on the get go that I found it a very boring drive. In comparison, when I tested the XD, I nearly popped a wheelie when I first took off. So much more responsive than the Soul. Mileage is great, mid 30s with a combination of city/hwy driving. The styling is fabulous, interior is comfortable.

Nice car for the $
I have the automatic and I'm getting around 31 mpg in mostly city driving. You do feel the road conditions when driving, but it is what I expected for an economy car. It handles well and is fun to drive. I added the factory armrest which goes in the cup holder, but the armrest has a cup holder that replaces the one you install the armrest in. There is sufficient power to handle any situation. Interior space is good considering the size of the car. If you want a fuel efficient car that has some cargo versatility then this is an excellent choice.

I have only about 500 miles on my xd manual transmission car. Overall it is a good little car and decent on MPG (about 33 on combined driving). It has a lot of features,standard equipment, that you normally would expect in higher priced cars. The one thing that I was surprised that it does not have, is a water coolant temp gauge. I bought a standard transmission because, in my experience, these little engines don't do very well with automatic transmission's. The car seems to be a little short on performance even with the 5 speed. At Interstate speeds, 70-75 MPH, there is what I think is a harmonic vibration that is very annoying.
Very happy customer
I've had the car for less than a week, so I can't comment on reliability. However the controls are laid out simply. Being on the short side, I have no problems reaching the pedals. Good visibility, no huge blind spots. With less than 150 miles on the car I'm averaging 35.4 mpg, which is above what they rate the car as. It's fun to drive, looks awesome, and is economical, perfect fit for me.
