#36 of 37 Scion does not seem as "fit" as the FIT by texastrixie Apr 25, 2008 (5:34 pm)
I am reading this website because we have to buy a new fuel efficient car for communiting. I was going ga-ga over the write-ups on the Scion D until I started reading the repair and maintenance log for an older Scion model - worries me about motors throwing rods and windshields cracking, etc. Scion is going to the bottom of the list, but FIT is probably back. Thanks for all the useful info.
#37 of 37 The xD won me over.... by gmichaels Jun 19, 2008 (2:39 pm)
My wife & I test drove the Fit one day & the xD the next.. First the Fit.... Fell in love with the fantastic rear seat system! Felt peppy and nimble around town, but had a lump in my throat when I tried to get on the X-way in rush hour traffic... Not that I don't sometimes get the same lump in my Ford Ranger 4-banger... Was impressed overall. Went home and happened to talk to my next-door neighbor, a car-nut who for no particular reason had test driven the Fit that same day on his way back from Ohio. He also liked it but said I should check out the Scion xD.... I had never heard of it and the Toyota dealer where I had driven a Yaris never mentioned it....(his mistake) Next day we drive the xD at a different Toy dealer and it''s game over... No ultra cool rear seat system BUT what a difference in performance.... hard for me to believe the test score for 0 to 60.... but using the on-ramp left me totally "Lump-less" My buggy is now 2 months old and she's still the cutest bug in the parking lot!
