It looks really nice inside and out. I've been driving it for 2 years now. The engine became much noisier, it wasn't ever quiet. Very bumpy. You can feel and hear anything on the road. The fuel economy is also poor. I am getting 25 MPG driving highway and city. I've noticed additional noise coming from front wheels. I went to dealership. They don't hear anything of course, the want to fix it after the warranty expires, so they can charge for it big money. I would not recommend it to any of my friends or family member. I don't predict it to last long without costly repairs.

To Xd or Not Xd?

2010 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

I commute the freeways of LA daily for +65 miles one-way. I have driven the Xd for over 6 months and +10k miles and find it both satisfying yet annoying causing classic cognitive dissonance. The power is ok, but not exceptional, gas-mileage is ok but not great, the radio is very annoying to use with so-so audio quality, in LA you need a radio to survive those long commutes. The AC can barely keep-up on warm days on the 101 fwy and it's not even summer yet! Only one cigarette lighter that is 'on' only with the ignition; annoying, no arm rest; annoying, road handling; noisy & annoying, can't see the cup-holders in the dark, annoying. There are better vehicles for the money available.

A Blast to drive

I have just over 1,000 miles on my new ride. It has been great to drive, it is a zippy little car, with good handling. I have averaged 30-31mpg with mixed driving, better than the stated average of 29 mpgs. I like that even the base xD is quite loaded.

Decieving machine

I love my 2010 Scion XD. But honestly I"m a bit disappointed with some things. I love the standard features and the reliability factor and the way it looks. The thing I didn't like was the ride. I notice that when going over a man hole cover or any decent bumps in the road which we have a lot of here in NY's capital district. It's very jarring and annoying and makes me wonder if it is causing too much vibration to the chassis of the car causing premature wear. The other thing is that the cargo space even with the seats folded down is very limited compared to the fit and the Kia soul. I'm a musician, though easier now,I was able to fit more into my Saturn SL. Other than that, I like it.

Great Used Car

I had a 2010 Chevy HHR that was decent for the 6 years I had it. But after 220K, it was time to move on. I got a great deal on a Scion XD that had low miles and a manual transmission. I get great MPG (36-38 average combined), and the 5 speed stick makes driving back roads fun. Handles well, but is by no means sporty. I carry music gear with me, but have only had to fold down the rear seats a few times. Plenty of room, and the car is quite ergonomic. Driver's seat is a little cramped, and I had to do a lot of adjusting to find a position that was reasonably comfortable. After one year and 15K.I've only had to replace the tires. Very reliable.
