Why Not the 2010 Scion xD?

Quietness

It had road noise from tires and engine as well as significant wind noise at 60 mph.

Materials & workmanship

When we got in the car the shift knob was turned 90 degrees. When I tried to tighten it, it simply turned in a circle, neve tightening. The new car smell was harsh and unpleasant. The steering wheel felt like a cheap plastic that would crack in winter.

Ride smoothness

We felt a lot more road and engine vibration in this vehicle.

Handling

We tried to do a U-turn in the parking lot before switching drivers and ended up doing a 3 point turn. We expected a smaller turning circle in a smaller vehicle.

Driving position & visibility

My wife and I drive more forward and upright than more folks, and in this position, the B column blocks a fair amount of visibility from the side.
