#351 of 356 '08 Scion xD RS 1.0 I do not like.... by eclectic34474

Jul 15, 2008 (7:57 am)

I purchased the Scion xD RS 1.0 on 7.10.08. I know it's a great car (mechanics/engine/Toyota) but "What were they thinking?" There are a few improvements that would make this car perfect.
  • Add a cup holder on the dash that pops out for the driver, the passenger has one.
    • The power button for the radio is on the right side of the unit. It is easier for my passenger to use. I am getting rid of this radio tomorrow.
  • Put the "series" numbered plate upfront on the console for everyone to see. The plate is hid from view. In fact, you have to get down on your hands and knees to see it.
    • The clock is in at the bottom of the console difficult to see. The location of the clock is really last minute.
     
    This car was not "built" for me...my demographics but I wanted small and dependable. I am happy but somewhat annoyed with the imperfections.
     
    I know the car is

    We rent them at our dealership - Camelback Scion in Phoenix AZ. Also I know that Enterprise in San Diego does. We sell them cars and yes at the same price everyone pays. NO body gets a discount on the car unless posted in the dealership.
