Great Car

I have the 5 speed manual and am extremely happy with it. Super reliable never a single problem with it. If I had to nit-pick I'd say road noise maybe not the greatest above 65 mph. Great gas mileage. Seems to be built like a tank. Highly recommended....

Cheep To Keep!

3 hundred thousand miles on this car and just doing fine, take care of your car ...and your car will take care of you! it's never had one thing go wrong! ( just an unbelievable car) outside of comon Maintaince, like oil & filter changes, tires, battery, alternator, air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs. Even the bulbs are original and all working, it needs a paint job,-maybe.But I bet i get 5 hundred thousand miles out of this one! No wonder taxi cab company's use these kind of cars.(they are cheep to keep).(word to your mother. Ya Hear-!).

It's truely a great car.

I bought my wife a new car, so I started driving her old one for the mpg because Chevy 2500HD gas burns fuel so when I don't need the truck I drive the scion Xd. I'm a big guy work construction and also a body builder. What I don't like is the bigger vehicles bullying the smaller vehicle. But, for that little vaccuum cleaner engine its got it moves. Highway is a bit rough cruising over 65mph. But, great for mpg I can get up to 42mpg on the highway right after an oil change and I clean the air filter its also an automatic and sometimes I can drive like a teenager weaving through traffic at 90mph but it's never left me on the side of the road so atleast not yet been driving it for 4 years even drove it to New York from Alabama non stop and it did great plus it only cost $60 to get there. It's a great car just watch the bigger vehicles.

Best Car I've Ever Owned

This small car has a deceptively large interior and has been able to haul many types of loads for me. Have had absolutely no mechanical issues and the body still looks great, paint included. If they still made these I'd buy another without question.

Most reliable car

I bought my '09 Scion xD in September of '08, and, 70,000 miles later, have absolutely loved it so far. I was worried about the size at first since I'm a pretty big dude, but there is plenty of leg room (would hate for a similarly big guy to sit behind me in the back seat,

Most reliable car I have ever owned.

I have had this car for 8 years and has exceeded my expectations. The only thing that ever needed changing besides the oil was the oil pressure switch.

A Little Car w/ Good Gas Mileage

As the first car I ever owned and driven, this car met all of my needs. The interior was compact but comfortable, until you needed to use all 5 of the cars seats. The drive was always smooth and able to make every turn. The convenience of being able to park almost anywhere due to it's small size made every commute worthwhile. On full, the car was able to get me 275 miles, which required that I only needed to fill up once a week. Overall, I was very pleased with this car as a first owned vehicle. The drives I made were always safe, I never had trouble keeping speed with the cars around me, though acceleration was a bit slow. At 5"4' myself, I never had issues with the height of the car, but my longer family members did have to take up most of the cars limited space in order to sit comfortable at 6"2'.
