Sweet! Tight! and Sick!

The little thing is GREAT. Its quiet. It has power. It's roomy has plenty of space. The stereo works great. The gas mileage is BETTER THAN AVERAGE. ITS WELL WORTH BUYING. The car is roomy, seats fold completely flat and will fold down one at a time or both them at the same time. Has 6 air bags. You have plenty room in the back to stretch your legs. You can pack this little car with a lot of stuff med small and some large items. You can put 5 foot long items on one side and up to 3 foot wide if shorter than 5 foot. Dependable reliable cost effective maintenance is average basic oil changes and filter filters and the other as right tranny service coolant blush is as it needed it is a excellent vehicle for its price

Scion XD reliable, great on gas for commuting

I bought new in 2013. Its a good reliable car. Its now 10 yrs old and I probably could get 10 More years. Very low maintenance. Just normal things like reg oil changes and tune ups. My only complaints are a rough ride. I suggest getting one size larger in tires. That helps with road noise. Its a tight fit up front. Not much elbow room with a passenger and seats are very hard . I suggest buying padded seat covers. Would I buy another ? Dont think so. I need more comfort

The ride is horrible but the gas mileage!

You will feel every bump in the road as you pass by multiple gas stations! Average mpg for me is pushing 40. It's a commuter car so as long as the radio works, who cares about the ride!

Great little car

I bought this car for my daughter who is attending college in Arizona. All of the reviews were very good. I drove the car from Virginia to Arizona and have to say this little car did extremely well driving across country. For a small car it is actually comfortable and easy to drive. It did well in open road and traffic. Gas Milage was excellent! I am very happy with the car and my daughter loved the surprise!

Fun and dependable drive. Love it!

This car is peppy to drive with lots of space. A great practical vehicle to get you in and out of tight spaces too. I feel like I could go just about anywhere with it. I am very glad that I bought it. Economical for gas expenses as well. Absolutely cute on the outside! Love it!

We love Scions!

2013 XD, everything you would expect from one of the last ?made in Japan? vehicles you can get in the US - reliability, functionality, high resale value, fantastic mpg. I?m big, but my wife and I love little cars and this is the ultimate commuter or gas-sipping interstate ride. I even towed a Mazda Mirage down the shoulder of the interstate to the next exit, with plenty of power to spare. We had owned an XA and weren?t disappointed by this newer version.

Great first car

It was my first car. It has plenty of space for being a small car, 5 people can fit in it without feeling too cramped. I have owned the car for 9 years and never had any mechanical issues. Toyotas are well built and the Scion brand is no different.

Comfortable Cummuter

Lots of room, comfortable to drive, very responsive brakes and steering. When driving there is a lack of road noise unlike a lot of other cars. It's overall a bargain

Had only one Xd

I've owned six Scions.Five XBs and one XD.The XD is cute but lacks in performance.When your merging on the highway you better make darn sure noones coming up behind you because you can have it floored and its going nowhere fast.Totally lackluster performance.If you have one window down you get a godawful wind noise forcing you to open more Windows or close up. No one beats Scion in reliability they have that down,but spring for the XB.The XXx are cute but the interiors are cramped and the performance is horrible. Sorry Scion
