2009 Scion xD, continued

The 2009 Scion xD is one of the most substantial and feature-laden vehicles for the money, and the opportunity for customization helps mask any econo-car cues. Scion dealers will sell you all sorts of performance and cosmetic add-ons, which can send the price tag well above $16,000--but the base car slots comfortably below that price point. TheCarConnection.com rates the Scion xD at 7, with a high of 8 for features and a low of 6 for comfort and quality.
