I bought my '09 Scion xD in September of '08, and, 70,000 miles later, have absolutely loved it so far. I was worried about the size at first since I'm a pretty big dude, but there is plenty of leg room (would hate for a similarly big guy to sit behind me in the back seat, but once my wife drives, there's plenty of room in the back)! I am a salesman for a large distribtor, and once in a while I need to deliver some orders a few hundred miles. The CARGO SPACE is a dream - I have time & time again surprized myself by just how much I can fit AND get great gas mileage at the same time! 20 50lb boxes hauled 150 miles? At the end I had an average of 33 MPG! At the same time, my wife and I have 2 wee ones - so handling, safety, smoothness, and comfort are important, and the xD delivers on all (plus fitting all the baby stuff that comes with hauling babies)! One complaint is the road noise - I'm normally not too worried about this factor, but my 2-year-old holds his ears on the interstate sometimes. The rear window is itty-bitty, with large pillars on each side, so driving certainly took some getting used to. FEATURES: I am a musician, so sound was important, but due to finances I got the "lower end" radio. I don't regret it - music sounds great (if I have it faded to the front speakers only - once the power is split from front to back, the audio quality diminishes quickly). I love the cruise control - much more responsive than others I have used. I see so much potential in the add-ons, but that'll have to take a back seat to other life priorities - looks pretty easy to modify (and it's encouraged)! All things considered, I'll be reeeeally sad to see it go (when we need a VAN for the next kids a-comin')! Highly recommended.
