Absolutely Love It!!
Source: Edmunds

...I fell in love with this car the first time I drove it.
I looked at other ones but kept coming back. It's fun, zippy, a LOT more room than the coupe I used to drive.
It feels like a mini SUV. When the back seats are folded down almost anything will fit.
I've have a few problems with it, transmission slips every one and awhile in the cold, ABS and EBrake lights keep coming on.
However, I have done quite a bit of research and neither seems to be a common problem so I'm thinking I just got a bad one.
The gas mileage is amazing, 35-45 in the summer, I have even had it to...

An amazing well loved car...

..."After many hours of research looking for a vehicle with safety and economy as the two main objectives I decided to test drive the Scion XD.
I was so amazed at the power and road response along with the design and room inside this car that I purchased this car.
My family loves this car from the great stereoto the design.
The side and curtain airbags w/ a 5 star side crash rating makes me feel better having my 2 kids and wife in the car.
As far as economy, we average 40 mpg. We are very happy with this car and would recommend this car to all....I really can't believe there...

A great car
Source: Cars.com

..."Great gas mileage- 36 mpg on the highway on the trip home from the dealer.
Surprising comfort- wish it came with heated leather and a center console woul be nice.
Not every buyer is an 18 year old. Lots of cubby holes for storage.
Very acceptable performance- coming out of a 325i- and I didn't miss it a bit.
Runs on regular- something the BMW didn't do. Nor does the Smart Car or the MiniCooper we looked at.
Would have possibly purchased a VW Beetle except for their poor reliability, poor crash test results. We didn't have to woory about those things with a Toyota."...

GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY !
Source: Cars.com

...I'm far from my 20's ( 60 in fact) and purchased a 2008 Scion XD in January.This car makes me feel like I did when I was 20 and purchased my first car. It's GREAT ! I LOVE it ! People would say that a particular car was "fun to drive". I have had cars from many makes and never experienced the "fun to drive" feeling... until now.I like the seating which I find firm and supportive. The engine is smooth and responsive. Handeling and tracking gives a sense of security.It has enough interior room for 2 adults and our German Shepherd.Thus far, I am extremely satisfied with the Scion XD"...

Wife's Car But I Drive It More !!
Source: Edmunds

...We bought it just as gas was going +$4.00 so 34+MPG sold us.Small on outside, but deceptively spacious inside-X-L-NT ergonomics. I'm 6'1"and I'm comfortable driving or as passenger. Took several 500+ mile trips and no road weariness at all. 4 cyl engine has more than enough oomph for our driving style and tranny shifts smoothly. Long list of standard features(optional on most cars)was a big +.Compacts and subcompacts used to be synonymous with cheap and cramped, but in today's car market,cars in this segment are anything but. Toyota build quality and Scion pricing-can't go wrong...

My First Toyota

...Bought second hand w/40000 miles. Short wheel base gives bumpy ride on wash-board roads. Should improve shocks and suspension. Had one questionable acceleration under damp/rainy conditions...

Alright, but I wouldn't buy it again!
Source: Edmunds

...Okay,it's a fun car to drive, gets you lots of questions/stares,so if you want attention great,if not move on.
Best mileage about 29mpg, not bad/but not great. Brakes are poor at best, and I slide all over in the winter (illinois) and good luck getting snow tires,almost no one has them
!!! and when you do find them,a single new tire can run you $150, yikes!
Paint is weak/scratches easily. Must say lift back is great, can really get a ton of stuff in w/seats folded flat (got a recliner in there)but overall, cars just okay!
No major mechanical issues, but road noise,lots of...

I LOVE MY SPICY RED XD!
Source: Cars.com

..."I've had this car for a little over two weeks now, and I LOVE IT.
As soon as I walked into the Scion showroom, I was hooked.
The XD is just beautiful. It's roomy in the front and the back.
And while I will probably never sit in the back, I love that the back seats recline.
What an unusual feature. At first glance, it doesn't have as much trunk room as the Fit, BUT once you lower the back seats and make a flat surface, you have lots of room...

Age 71, 8th Toyota I've bought, this one I love
Source: Cars.com

..."I had and XA and traded up to the XD, the Xd is just a super car to drive, In some ways it is more fun to drive then my wife's Avalon.
I have had many people stop me to ask about the car, one Lady was 74 and was going to trade her Jetta in for an XD. My MPG is almost as good as the XA, getting 26.7. This car is jusst great."...
