Great Used Car

2010 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

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.

Scion xD towers over competition

2010 Scion xD 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

After months of researching and test driving most of the subcompacts in this price range, the Scion xD won by leaps and bounds. The exterior design is just funky enough for a hip 50+ driver and the interior design is thoughtful and practical enabling one to ignore the plethora of plastic. Mileage, even in the first week, exceeds all expectations. Love that standard equipment on the xD would mean thousands more on other makes/models. The road noise is a bit loud, but the standard 6-speaker Pioneer stereo covers that beautifully. The cargo capacity and split seat design for variety of space and ease of configuring is amazing.

Great Ride

I am a high mileage driver and opted for the 5 speed. I am getting on average 38mpg. I bought the car in mid May 2010 and have over 7000 miles logged. Technology is very useful. The usb connection allows my mobile phone to work hands free and also plug in hours of music with a thumb drive. The ride is sporty, precise, and fun. The cargo room is large enough for a trip to Home Depot and the sliding back seats are great for rear passenger room. I once owned a 1997 VW Golf 5 speed and this car is very similar and as much fun to drive as that was. If you are interested in a quality, affordable hatch back that allows lots of customization and fun driving, the XD is it.

One Word: Disappointed

My first Toyota product, my first foreign-built car. I expected a well-built, well-designed car backed up by good service from the dealership. Wrong! Insanely noisy (Scions have no radio till dealer puts it in after you buy, so you test drive without one, thought radio would drowned out road noise but again- wrong!), uncomfortable driving position. Fuel-economy meter very inaccurate, speaker vibrates, clutch impossible to operate smoothly: dealer refuses to admit car has problems. 17,000 miles/ 18 months later and still no repairs- thank God I leased this thing, can't wait to turn it in. Best advice: dealer should let you take it for a day-long test drive with radio installed! UPDATE 04/15/2016: Ended lease early last summer (dealer wanted the car for their used-car inventory), was very happy to see it go. Since then, Toyota has announced they are soon discontinuing the entire Scion line. I guess that says it all.

Tire Size is impossible!

Sold a BMW Z3 during tough financial times and I love my little Scion. However, yesterday (before a major holiday) I was stranded in the California desert. I do not blame Toyota for my flat tire. But the tire on the xD DOES NOT EXIST anywhere. I put $60 on my cell phone - "411" charges for calling every Costco, Sam's Club, Pep Boys, and WalMart in the hugely populated areas of Riverside and Orange Counties. Had I checked into a hotel to await the arrival of a tire, 5 days. I ended up w/ a tire one size up just to get me home. My Toyota dealership and I will be having a discussion this week. Should they choose to do nothing, I will contact my local consumer media.
