The Scion XD is a practical and reliable car for the budget conscious car buyer. The gas mileage for city driving routinely tops 30mpg, and with careful driving can exceed 40 mpg. The hatchback and convertible rear seats give you a variety of options for maximizing passengers and cargo in such a small vehicle. My 100 pound Newfie has plenty of space to sprawl about with both seats down, and can sit and lie comfortably in the back if the seats are up. The sliding rear seats make the space comfortable for passengers over 6 feet, and it's one of the rare subcompacts that can truly accommodate 5 passengers without squishing, thanks to the lack of a "hump" in the rear foot well, and the tall profile gives you more headroom than most Japanese compact cars and sedans. The Scion's small size makes it ideal for city dwellers who need to parallel park on crowded or narrow streets, and the compact doors need very little swing space in parking lots where spaces are narrow. Unfortunately the car doesn't have the best acceleration, and you will have to put the engine through its paces to merge onto the highway or overtake traffic on a parkway, and the handling could best be described as "spongy." The gas tank could also stand to be a little more accommodating in order to extend the maximum range on a single tank. The interior is styled in basic materials, mostly plastics and low grade fabrics, with no option for leather.

I bought this car used and it had a salvaged title. The interior of the car is like brand new and the exterior of the car has some issues but still keeps it together. Love the color of my car, orange. Even though it's orange, it's not too bright and has a metallic feel. The car runs smoothly, though a little on the loud side with the revving of the engine. It has over 150,000 miles on the car but has taken me and my husband on multiple trips. Overall love the car just wish I bought it either as new or a clean title.

This vehicle has excellent gas mileage. It is reliable, comfortable and has great features. This is a compact car, so I am able to park it anywhere with ease. I like that the car tells me exactly how many miles until I need gas, when I need an oil change or other maintenance, and how much gas mileage I am getting while driving. This car drives very smoothly and I can take it anywhere from in town to through the mountains. The seats are comfortable and features include automatic locks, windows, child safety locks, high quality airbags and air conditioning and heat. This is the best car I have owned.
