Looking to buy soon and was wondering how everyone felt about these 2 similar cars. What kind of actual gas milage is everyone finding?. How does the quality of the cars inside and out compare. Have they fixed the AC smell with the Yaris yet? Thanks, Mike
#2 of 3 xD vs. Yaris by solsticeturbo Nov 29, 2008 (11:09 pm)
The xD is based on the Yaris platform. I test drove both vehicles and bought the xD. The Yaris 1.5 ltr. motor will deliver better fuel economy,but,I prefer the extra performance of the 1.8 in the xD(caveat)<> the xD<> has the same fuel capacity as the Yaris(11.1 gallons): I think it needs the 13.2 gallon fuel tank from the Corolla/Matrix. I am averaging around 34 MPG's with my xD in W. Ky." hill country" +much stop and go downtown traffic. I also have the 4 speed AT. My only "complaints" are the relatively small fuel tank+Scion/Toyota does not offer a foglight kit for the xD:the Yaris 5 Dr. Liftback S has the rear spoiler and a front spoiler with foglights as a standard feature. The xD has cruise control as standard and the Yaris LB offers this feature as an option .I hope this of some benefit to you and helps in your purchasing decision.
