Bought it first week November for $5000 from Lakes Auto Sales and Detailing, Tilton, very close to Home Depot, and have driven 2000 local lakes region miles and one trip to Boston.

It drives, runs, and sounds fantastic with no, exactly zero orange or red warning lights, so far.

Think I'll switch from 0W-20 to 5W-20 all synthetic oil next time I do the oil and filter for better engine lubrication even though the filler cap says 0W-20.

This Scion xD, made by Toyota in Japan shoulda coulda woulda have been the historic ... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scion_xD ... replacement for the all-time #1 best seller, the VW Beetle and sold millions, world-wide.

Even the cruise control, air conditioner, and rear window wiper and defroster all work perfect ........ BANZAI! ....... Scion xD ...... made in Japan, somewhere, in 2014 and it now has about 166,500-miles.

It weighs 2668-lbs, has four doors and a rear hatch door and four electric windows, not the old hand cranks.

Do YOU want to feel LUCKY? Then go buy a $5000 car from Jeff at Lakes Auto Sales & Detailing, close to Home Depot.

For $14.78 I got a upgrade stick shift knob from eBay, and need to install it. Good luck doing this ... www.toyota.com/#xD .... with a ridiculous automatic transmission .......
Back in my day being a “car guy” meant V8 muscle power. I.e big lock vettes’, goats, Camaros.
Never heard that term applied to a 4 cyl economy car…times have changed.
Maybe you can show it at castle in the clouds next fall!
