My car is great. It has plenty of room to seat five. Has a built-in, factory-standard stereo that has CD compatibility as well as MP3 through a USB port or even on disc. It allows for hands-free phone built into it. It has the power and drivability for a family car or a work horse. I have loaded the back down full of computer towers, and it was great. All electronics work wonderful. It even monitors the air pressure of the tires. I once had three people and all the camping supplies and food for a weeks trip in it.

The Scion XD is a very dependable car. I have driven it for 20,820 miles, and there are no rattles or noises when I drive other than one squeak that I believe is coming from the seat belt connection. I only notice it occasionally and have been unable to identify the source but it is inside the car. The car is a hatchback, and the back seats drop down so it has ample room for transporting large objects. The headroom and leg room in the front seat is very adequate. I have had two relatives who thought they would not have enough head room/leg room due to their height. Both are over 6'4" and both had plenty of room in this small car. It gets good gas mileage, and I can travel from my home to SC 187 miles and ride around to visit my friends/family and fill up again on the way back, usually still has 1/4 tank left when I fill up for trip home. The radio has great sound and my phone connects through radio with controls on radio as well as steering wheel. I can park it anywhere. I had to learn not to pull all the way in or I cannot see around other vehicles when backing out of a parking lot. The main thing that I do not like about this car is the blind spot on the left. Several times, I have wanted to change lanes only to find that there was a car there that I could not see. I really love this car as far as handling, dependability, ride quality and would recommend it to friends who want a reliable, inexpensive vehicle that is decent on gas. Great air conditioning, Seat material though black is never hot to sit on, some special type of fabric even cool to sit on in FL with shorts on in summer, and in contrast the steering wheel so hot it is uncomfortable until car cools down inside.

I have owned this car for 11 years and have put 240,000 miles on this vehicle over the years. It has been reliable, a smooth ride and I have had no major issues with the car.
