The vehicle is very safe in a lot of aspects.

Small but lots of interior room. It is great on gas and fun to drive. I can fit 3 grandkids in the back seat with no problem. It's also a tough little car.

Britney B

Bigger than it looks, lacking cup holders.

I love it! It is perfect for a smaller person. Feels bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I wish it had a middle console and a cup holder within reach for the driver but other than that, I love it. It is perfect and I have had no problems!

Debbie L

It gets great gas mileage. I can park just about anywhere. It is fun to drive. No complaints about this car.

Pete M

It is compact and easy to drive and park.

I like that it is compact and easy to park. It is very comfortable to drive. It is fast and stores a lot of stuff.

Rin A

Excellent car for the price and gas mileage.

It is been very reliable. The seats are comfortable for the front and back. The trunk is not too roomy but enough to put several bags of groceries. It does not go really fast on the highway but it is not meant to, being only a 4 cylinder. It has a lot of features like a pioneer stereo system that is stock and cruise control. It does not have fog lights but I am not missing them either.

Kelsye B

Spacious, yet compact vehicle, reliable, and inexpensive to upkeep.

The only negative about my vehicle is the price for parts when something breaks. I have had it for approximately 9 years and have had very few issues. It has been very reliable, it is comfortable and spacious. I love the aux, USB, and steering wheel controls for music. The a/c is powerful and quick. The gas mileage is great— I only spend about $20 a week on gas. It has been a wonderful vehicle.

Negative Owner Reviews

Cynthia M

It is cute in size. There is enough room in the trunk even though the car is.

It is really bad in the snow. Great on gas. It is very small. It is reliable but the motor is small so it is very loud. The seats are not very comfortable. I would never buy a gray car again. There really has not been any problems besides not good on the snow.

Dennis K

Great on gas doesn't really cost much to maintain

Really reliable car it's really great on gas. Cost to fill up the tank is less than 35 and last about a week

Scion xd scion xd scion xd.

I love my scion xd. It drives so smooth and accelerates very easy, I hardly even have to touch the gas ever. It is a smaller car but still is super roomy on the inside!! Plenty of space in the trunk and back seat. Music sounds great as well and it gets excellent gas mileage. Most I have ever had to pay for a full tank of gas was 20 dollars when prices were high, usually I only spend around 14 now though to fill it all the way up.

Kayla P

It is a very good car for work and drive around because it is very economical.

It is small. It is very good ok gas. It takes me everywhere. What I do not like is that it is a little small. I have two kids so I need more space to take other people. I have a double stroller that does not fix in the car. I wish I had a bigger car but that is what I have to work with for now.

carol W

Strange wheels but good gas mileage.

The tires are too small and will not keep air in them even though they are new. It is not the tires -- the wheels are too small. The steering wheel locks and the key will not turn -- can be a nuisance if you do not know the secret of jiggling the steering wheel to unlock. It gets great gas mileage and is comfortable to drive.

Candy M

It has great gas mileage. I feel like most cars these days are guzzlers.

I love the good gas mileage and how smooth it drives. I do not like that there is not a backup camera, no storage in the middle compartment and it's just a tad too small for our family at times.

Julie M

Eh it's okay I guess...it has potential to be better

I've had this car since 2010 and it has less and 100,000 miles on it. However it has a couple of issues especially when you hit a certain speed it starts to shake. But besides that it is a car that gets from point a go point b if it was more comfortable and better to travel in it would be a great car

Roberta G

The most important thing for others to know, is that it's mine, for better or worse, and they should keep their mitts off it.

It's a very reliable, but very cheap-feeling piece of tin on wheels. It has a sub-par sound system, the dash shelf is black and therefore turns the car into an oven in the summer, and it doesn't have an armrest. You have to pay $100 extra for a freakin arm rest.

Great car with tons of space!

This vehicle is great. Not only does it ride extremely smoothly, it also has an incredible amount of room on the inside. The first time that I saw the vehicle I thought it looked small from the outside. Being a bigger guy, I had doubts on whether I would fit in the vehicle. We'll, not only do I fit, but I still leave a ton of room for my kids in the back. And the cargo space in the back is wonderful as well. The back seats fold down to create a flat surface, making even more room in an already spacious car. I really have no complaints at all about it.

Raymond R on April 21, 2021

Very comfy and a good style for any age.

This scion xd model is so unique with modern characteristic but what it is more important to me is the gas savings, good interiors, a/c, it is very comfortable, reliable and nice. It is a mix of a smart or fiat but with the Toyota features which is not expensive and at the same time is durable.

Pros from Owners

Elaine S.

Yes. I love that it sits up higher off the road like a tiny SUV. It comes fully equipped when you buy it. The price is the price. No haggling. I have never had any problems with it. The only con is that they no longer make them.

Caleb W.

This car is great on gas mileage. It is easy to drive and to maintain. This car is also very easy to drive and comes with great options like USB port for music or to share my cell phone. For a smaller car I can fit a good amount in it.

Cons from Owners

Elaine S.

I love Scions buy they no longer make them, so my next car will have to be something else.. It is getting harder to find used parts when it needs a repair. The paint job is starting to fade, but it still runs great. I am sorry, I have nothing bad to say about it.

Caleb W.

The sins of this car are that it is on the smaller side so it is harder and inconvenient to fit people in. There have also been several recalls on parts to be fixed. I do not like the size of the smaller back seat.
