Test drove a leftover '08 Mazda3 and frankly found it kind of boring to drive. The Toyota dealership was right next door so I ran over and test drove the xD and found it much more fun, plus it had just as many features and better gas mileage... and less expensive! A great car is when the more you drive it, the more you like it, and this is one of those type of vehicles. Toyota has … figured this out and they seem to know what the customer likes and how to deliver it. I just can't believe how solid this thing is built for the price. Not to mention it looks good, too. This is my first Toyota and I doubt it'll be my last.
