out the cigars, Scion’s popular xB gets a baby brother, the xD
Handling
The xD is nimble at low to moderate speeds, but the electric power steering is a bit vague, and needed input to stay on track through sweeping turns. On the plus side, it didn’t wallow and it mostly went where you expected it. On the negative side, it had plenty of front-wheel drive understeer at freeway speeds. The front disc, rear drum brakes provided good stopping power, and the system was easy to modulate and worked well in panic situations thanks to the anti-lock and electronic brake distribution setup.
