Scion Xd; Love It, Hate It, Then Love It Again!

Source: CarGurus

Well, what else is there to say? Its a small, yet spacious four door hatchback. Ooops, did I say the dreaded H-word? Well, I like hatchbacks, after all, aren't SUVs just big station wagons? The performance is amazing for such a small car. Its got a 1.8L engine that is shared by other cars such as the (now deceased) Celica and the Lotus Elise. Its not the fastest thing on the road, but it definitely goes. And the fuel economy is not too shabby either. The crazy thing is also, is how quiet the... Read More

Why should I also consider these?

Compared to the 2008 Scion xD, the Aveo5 has a more spacious, comfortable interior, but it lags in nearly all other areas, with a shorter features list, sluggish performance, and questionable safety. The Kia Rio5 is a better alternative, with a sportier driving feel and spacious interior, but it doesn’t match the xD either in terms of features for the money. The Nissan Versa feels like a bigger car, with the poise and a settled ride that’s a step above, but it doesn’t feel especially sporty from behind the wheel. Finally, the Honda Fit is probably the most practical choice of this group, while still feeling quite sporty to drive. Its plentiful headroom and a backseat large enough for adults, along with the Magic Seat design that expands to an impressive amount of cargo space, are unbeatable.
