  • I don't wanna be seen dead in that scion, or any scion as a matter of fact. Why doesn't Toyota make fun cars anymore? They are all so dull. The Celica was made for 35 years and they scrapped it. I wanna pop in the balls whoever is responsible for turning Toyota into pretty much an appliance making corporation.

  • Wonder how the new FIT will beat this XD ?

  • bUT REALLY, IS THE SCION GOING TO BE AS RELIABLE?

  • @TheTraxxasfreak well Scion is a Toyota brand

  • @TheCoolfez I used to know a guy who had a 1992 honda civic with 268,000 on it, and it is still going strong! Not to say Toyotas' are bad cars, because they are good cars, but in my experience, I see Hondas live longer

  • the better car has hubcaps, LOL XD

  • They forgot to mention one downside of the xD: it looks like an abortion. the emoticon that makes "xD" is pretty much the face I'd make if someone suggested it to me.

  • xD

  • The Fit just has a better interior. It's so flexible. It's like a little minivan and it's more fun to drive than the XD.

  • Out of those two, Scion xD wins, but I'd really like the Ford Fiesta instead...

    Teenager + Standard Smexyness & Bluetooth = Orgasm :O

    (that's what my science teachur tought me about cars, I mean, what else would we leern, how to spell??

  • I have a release series Xd and with the lowering springs in performs much better in the handling area than a stocker. As for horsepower- you do need the ponies to get up and pass sometimes, or just be forced to follow. A cold air intake, header and exhaust will really add some punch to the Xd and even boost the fuel mileage. Plus boost the fun quotient. Enjoy!

  • Comment removed

  • The XD IS based on the yaris platform not the Corolla. There is nothing sporty about the scion XD. 128 hp yet you even dare to mention performance. Notice how the if you install all the TRD crap the XD is actually slower with the 18 inch wheels. Please kids dont rice out your scion XD.

  • Its funny how they keep saying the Xd is based on the Yaris, (Yaris is also a great car), but in reality the Xd actually is based on the Corolla. It has the identical engine and transmission as the Corolla, and thats a big plus. So, its lighter than the latest Corolla yet just as powerful. You may want to add high performance tires, since the Xd deserves it. It quite a sporty car, yet gets over 40 mpg on the highway. Quite an achievement! The looks of a trendy hotbox, the performance of a tuner,

  • 09 Fit

  • i want both!! jk lol. I'd take the Scion tho :P

  • You want horsepower, but not take it to the tracks and waste power in traffic jams? Hah! Get real people, you get horsepower if you have access to places you can use it.

  • edmunds has something against the fit, there was some bias in that review.

  • the xD looks better but the Fit is better... id take the Scion =)

  • The xD is a re-badged Toyota Yaris. Not a bad thing, but the Fit has better handling, better fuel economy, better cargo flexibility, and better crash testing. 

    Honda does disappoint in their continued insistence on holding out desired safety features like traction control for 'top of the line' models.

    I am waiting to get a look at the upcoming Ford Fiesta, as well as perhaps the VW Polo and Mazda 2 before I decide, though between these two I'd take the Fit.

  • Scion XD did a good job of gettin away the egg shaped 4 cylinder....FIT looks like a mini-mini van

  • Cool video, thanks. I've been having a hard time deciding between the two.

  • The new Fit looks better and more powerful. that's the old version of it.

  • Yeah, just less power, less room and higher price than the Scion. Makes no sence.

  • MORE ROOM....

  • BANZAI FIT !!! hahaha.....

  • The 2009 Fit has more power and the interior is even nicer! It has an Eurpean look to the design. I would go with the Fit.

  • i never heard of scion seen the ninja star sign before so now i know the name but what im wondering is just is that car reliable cause alot of car offer close to the same crap and reliability would make the choice easy

  • The Scion XD is an adorable car, it reminds me of a Boston Terrier, which also happens to be my favorite kind of dog. Sure it's not a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull, but it's sturdy and reliable. It's got great fuel economy and I wouldn't want to not have ESC. It is very comfortable for me. It's probably better for short people. I happen to be 5'3". It's too practical and affordable as an every-day driver to dismiss.

  • i like the design of the fit in THIS video. the new model looks to angular and slope-ish

  • I'm getting a FIT (hopefully) when I get 16. (14 now) haha

  • sounds like you are brainwashed

  • I love my red Honda and everything FITS!

  • i bought a costume scion with TRD springs and body kit and i must say i have no regrets in my purchase. All i need now is aftermarket exhaust, cold air intake, soft shocks and a strut bar and it will be a ride i will never want to get out.

  • Again the car manufacturer are selling cars with Horse power figure. Get real people, it does matter if these cars do 30 seconds on a 1/4 miles. It is designed for heavy traffic and fuel economy. No reason to argue about brand either because if it is good, it doesn't matter what it is labeled. Looks though are individual preferences, it is not wrong or right which one you like.

  • Love Scion xD! So nice! Great car, comfortable, and extremely practical! Sci-OOOOOOooown! Nice, honest review guys!

  • I used to drive a Honda and they make great engines along with transmissions. Hands down, VTEC beats VVTi but unlike Toyota, Honda cannot build a stable electrical system to feed it. Honda's were great before 2000 when they didn't add all the sensors and computer chips. I strongly urge you to read NHTSA consumer complaints for the '08 - '09 Fit models before you buy. They were mostly electrical problems from airbag deployment, daytime running lights, engine restarts, cold restarts.

  • The fit is a car with great fuel economy. However, I don't think the Americans will buy cars with a small 1.5L engine. They love more & more muscles.

  • i only have one comment xD

  • LIES!!! the fit is GO!!!

  • I've sitten in the XD, there unconfortable and hard on me, so go with the honda fit. the fit is better and confortable

  • For those complaining about the 3000 markup, its because you bought the Fit Sport with all the accessories. I bought the Fit Base model for only 16,000 range (drive out price).

  • xd is horribly ugly........if the fit had the same HP as the xd it would have raped it

  • Let me see your 109 hp Honda Fit get on a major highway like Interstate 95 on a ramp that is 4 car lengths long. Keep in mind that the average speed of the right lane is 65 mph and there is a big petrol truck behind you flashing its high beams.

    When you fail to get on the Interstate and cause a 10 car pileup, you can come back to me and argue about Style vs. Safety. Unless your using the Fit solely for LOCAL USE, stop rooting for this death trap, get a better job and get a Honda Accord.

  • hmmm. I'm pretty sure an Accord can't get to 65 mph in 4 car lengths (unless it's already going 60 :D). Maybe a $100,000+ sports car could, but definitely not an Accord. :)

    Of course, the only problem I ever have merging onto major highways in Dallas is others in front of me not merging fast enough, and I drive a 94 Civic Dx which doesn't have any more power than a Fit. Even with slow mergers in front of me, I've just dropped it into second and have always been fine switching into fast lanes.

  • Love my Fit too

  • I love my fit

  • I test drove both...

    The Fit sounds like a sewing machine...

    I bought the 2009 Scion xD. I'm happy with my choice, but I'll have to get an armrest aftermarket.

  • i've been a honda guy for a while (9 years), but when i went to buy a fit in december '08 capital city honda added 3000 bucks to the sticker! and they wouldn't budge, even with almost half down. i walked through the showroom, across their lot, and into the Toyota of Olympia showroom. i bought the XD a week after my test drive, and have been happy ever since.

    as a side note don't buy the factory armrest. it's goofy as hell.

  • The only disadvantage of Scion xD is the lack of an ARMREST.

  • and it handles like shit

  • no car with a torsion beam rear end is going to handle especially well. i've got trd springs, rear sway bar, and sticky 17's, on my XD, and it does surprisingly well. you want handling? get an Evo or a cooper s, or an si , or something along those lines.

    both the fit and the XD are very good at what they were designed for. i just think it's shitty that honda lets their dealers gouge customers with up to $3000 markups.

  • True, the torsion beam doesn't really make me confident in it's handling potential, but right off the dealer lot I think the fit holds the upper hand. I test drove the XD and did not like the throttle, nor the steering. Both seemed disconnected(I am spoiled in my old drive-by-cable subaru). The fit is more spacious due to the torsion beam which is, at the moment, my main concern. I can make up for the torsion beam in other ways, but I just can't fix dead steering and an odd throttle.

  • i too hate drive-by-wire, and the steering is twichy and disconnected. on a positive note, with TRD springs, struts, sway bar, and strut tower brace, and some fairly sticky 17's on decently light TSW trackstars, it does do a decent job going around corners. the TRD quickshifter and weighted knob helps immensly in the shifting department.

    but that throttle...

    Blitz came out with a drive-by-wire signal speeder-upper, and hopefully will soon have one for the XD. until then, i'm screwed.

    ;)

  • LOL right on. Good luck with the throttle controller.

  • Honda Fit ftw!

  • I would say the Fit is better. You can put a few mods on the Fit to make up for the power deficit. It is better in all other senses. I sat in both and the xD feels cheap while the Honda is actually pretty nice. Handling was much better in the Fit. Electronic brake assist? Come on Scion, that ruins the driving experience. My Subaru is drive-by-cable throttle(gas pedal and throttle are directly connected by a cable, not electronically controlled) and I turned of ABS all together.

  • honda fit!! (09 version) :]]

  • i agree! love the 2009 honda fit. i'm hoping to get one soon! probably next year after i get my license.

  • ahahah! heck yeah!! aww! lucky! my parens wont let me buy a car until i can pay for everything myself. so i'm guessing i'm going to have to buy the 2050 Honda Fit. ahahahahahahaha!! my uncle said that if i get high scores on my SATs, he'll get me a car. WHEEE! yay for fit's low price :DD

  • Just say the scion is better, i don't need more people buying up fits.

  • how bout u make the Xb safe so my friends dont die

  • were ur freinds in a wreck in an XB and almost died

  • i just got the 09 xD, and havent regret it.. just have it lowered and some set of wheels and your good.if its manual and know when to shift gears for "speeding", then your car will run pretty fast for a 128hp car.. but the fit sport is nice aswell

  • They should do '09 xD vs '09 Fit.

  • Ditto! They are comparing a new model versus an older model that was about to come out with a redesign in the US.

  • @fasthonda

    2008 carry over to 2010 Model XD remain the same without NEW DESIGN yet

    And the Fit may do the same.... - We're waiting to see new design with real better prices!!!

  • Get the Fit its way better!!!

  • Fit is better looking if you have a sense of style. The xD looks like it's made from Fisher Price or Playskool. Inexpensive doesn't have to sacrifice good looks. It looks like a PowerWheels for a toddler.

  • the fit looks like a shrunken mini van. BORRRING

  • scion 2008 compare to fit 2007 ?

    why is that

  • they both will do the job but which is cheaper as a stripped down automatic? that's the one i'd choose.

  • Honda Fit FTW!

  • I like Honda, but that xD looks like the car I'd rather go with.

  • fyi, its the scion dat look like a box! and if ur eyes are really working and ur not seeing thru ur arse, you'll realise that its the fit/jazz dats on the race track not the scion. i own a fit/jazz and its modified so heavy dat i (NA) can beat higher cc'ed cars.

  • honda fit atw

  • ESC for a 4 door hatch.............

  • Xion looks nicer....FIT looks like a box Go Cart

  • "Xion" are you kidding me? You can't scroll up 4 inches to see how it's spelled? Fuck.

  • there are so many immature people on youtube.

  • Would this be good for me for my sweet 16?

    Anyone have one?

  • The scion xd

  • It depends what you really want/need. IMHO, the XD looks better and i like the extra horsepower, however, i greatly appreciate the extra cargo space in the Fit. So ask yourself what's more important to you before buying. Hope this helps. :-)

  • honda all the way for me !!!

  • lol ssonic is a pure reall asshole.i got a dodge ram2500 4x4 snd s honda fit.;trust me fit is a real good car and really econonim .;may not be really powerfull but good car and cheap on gas.;dont listen to sonic is a gay who think only mustabng a ferrari are nice but he probably dont have a car or a job

  • Whats the diferrence between the Honda Jazz and The Fit??is there???

  • same car just different name in different countries. Has been sold in US for 2 years. Just bought one a few weeks ago and no issues except doesn't have center armrest. A local Honda dealer sells an aftermarket one for $119 so I have purchased one. Have been getting around 33 mpg.

  • Review after review the Fit loses. LOL!

    I'd rather pay the $600 extra and get a better stereo system and a better engine.

    The Fit doesn't have any competing models within the Honda line up. The xD has to compete in sales with its siblings, the Yaris hatch and the Yaris sedan.

    Add all 3 together and they'll drown the fit in sales.

    I'd rather have a modern styled hatchback than a mini minivan.

  • Your'e right, the Fit does look dorky. But the Fit has more headroom than the xD (I couldn't stick my 6'3" self into any of Toyota/Scion hatches except the xB). The Fit has a better transmission than the xD, and the engine/xmission combo is what matters.

  • WRONG AGAIN BOYS!!! Fit is the better choice. Look at the sales numbers and look at the road. You never see any xDs.

  • The fact that you never see any xD's is a good thing. I don't wanna drive a car that everyone else has!

  • You could aslo think that no one has it because its ugly! Fit is more stylish and has more aftermarket parts which add a whole new dimension to the fit that the xD cannot compete with...

  • The fit is the superior product...I have the 08 fit sport Manual...I love it!! :)

  • Bigger engine is a plus! Too bad the Scion is so damn hideous, the Fit runs circles around it in the looks area

  • looks don't run.

    the fit looks like a fucking minivan LOL!!!

    paddle shifters on an automatic that's slow as fuck? LOL!!!

  • They both suck, get a better job and buy a real car,spring for the civic or accord, best ride and enough horses to get the job done!

  • A base Scion xD costs $600 more than a base fit.

    The xD has 6 speaker stereo w/mp3 playback and iPod control capability (not just a stupid audio jack).

    xD also has a bigger engine that kicks the Fit's ass and it only gets 1mpg LESS than the Fit. 1 mpg is hardly noticeable.

    Winner = xD

    Loser = Fit

  • dougdangger, after reading many of your comments, i find it hard to believe you're 33 years of age.

  • Not to mention the xD costs more because of all it's features that come standard.

  • U.S. News and World Report puts

    Fit:#2

    Scion:#21

    in Best Affordable Small Cars

  • My dad has a Tc and they are way fun to drive! the best thing about them is the versatality of the car. you can put anything on it really easily!

  • i would probably pick the fit. but im gettin the scion tc when i get the money. better and more fun than both with lots of accesories.

  • honda fit awsomer

  • whut a english!!!

  • what do u mean by that

  • Scion has a bigger and more powerful engine and it's only 1mpg lower than the honda.

    Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! Fit = loser

  • honda fit > nasty scion xd

  • Diesel costs a lot $5 a gallon. Honda should look back to the old body styles. The 70's 80's 90's. Only good thing honda has right now are the engines. honda should redisign the civic, fit, accord.

  • For a sub-compact, why is the Fit's MPG so low. 35 MPG on the highway, that's a joke. Why not go for a used VW diesel?

  • That's with an Automatic.

    People still hate Diesels but more importantly, they hate Volkswagens.

  • I am not a big fan of diesel, or the internal combustion engine for that matter; but, if one has to choose with MPG being equal, isn't it better being in a mid-size car better than a sub-compact?

  • A corolla with an auto tranny also gets 35 MPG. The point is for a sub-compact the MPG should be higher. Instead of bringing the Fit to America, they should bring the european Accord with the diesel engine over. Better MPG, more power, and it would also be a little safer since America is the land of V-8 SUV's.

  • They European Accord is already here. (Acura TSX).

    Accord will get the Diesel for 2009 but the Mileage isn't that great and the costs are higher when you consider the premium for the engine and the fact that Diesel costs more.

  • They get better than 35 MPG on the Highway. That is what a Civic gets.

    Most driving isn't on the highway anyways.

  • ["Why not go for a used VW diesel?"]

    ...because diesel costs $1 more per gallon?

    ["35 MPG on the highway, that's a joke"]

    The only joke here is the irony behind your comment.

  • Scion RULES!!!

  • I just bought a 2008 Honda Fit, I love it, more then enough power, AMAZING gas mileage, and great looks, i dont care what this review says, I am sticking with my Fit :)

  • Scion still wins. Styling is an opinion. Scion is better.

  • the xd looks better and has better ground clearance 6.5" so it will be better on dirt roads and heavy snow with bigger wheels.

  • The Honda fit gets 28/34 with the 5 speed man.

    The Scion xD gets 27/33 with the 4 speed auto

    Hmm..... and I get Faster accleration (WITH THE AUTOMATIC) AND MORE STANDARD equipment. And Toyota reliabilty. Not to mention its cheaper. OHHHH!!! SCION WINS!

  • Honda is reliable too, asshole. Scion looks fucking fat.

  • don't associate women drivers with Honda. :)

  • Uh, Thats Phat! Way better lookin than a fit. Check out the Release series xD!

  • You drive an automatic. LOL

  • YES!!! Scion wins

  • Gee.. thanks for the spoiler!

  • "Gee.. thanks for the spoiler!"

    You should WATCH the video first BEFORE reading the comments.

  • i was thinking about getting a fit but now im thinking i might get a xD lol i like more power, and its cheaper but its not as cool lookin' D:

  • I like the look of the 2008 VW Rabbit, and plus it has 5 cylinders!

  • Hm.. In "Best Affordable Small Cars" U.S. News and Rankings puts the Fit at #2 and the ScionxD at #21. O_O

  • Hardulf, I too had owned a honda, its was an okay car, definitely coming in third to any Toyota product I've ever owned, and only broke down 4 times. My Scion Xd has yielded, in pure city driving a minimum of 30, with mixed highway/city driving Ive got as high as 42 mpg...but that was the best. Normal highway/city driving averaged between 36-40 depending on traffic. All this plus it's masculine. I bought a honda fit for my 6 year old daughter to play & carry her dolls around in the backyard.

  • Great. Now your daughter is using the better of the two cars to play with while you get crappy gas mileage and look like a tool in a fat car. Thumbs up for you, moron.

  • You can keep your pregnant Yaris. That thing is waaaaayyy uglier than the Fit/Jazz. The only thing uglier is that milk box xb.

    Right now I'm averaging 34.5mpg with both street and highway driving in my 'seizure'. The xd will never match that.

    The Scion xd: Faster? Yes. Uglier? Yes. Cheaper? Yes, and it shows in a test drive.

  • you're so cliche. grow up.

  • I test drove both these cars. The Scion came in far behind for me. It has much less room in the interior, gas mileage is not as good, it's ugly, low safety rating, etc. HP was not a factor since I couldn't care less how fast I can get to 60mph. I was looking for great gas mileage.

    So I bought myself the better of the two: the Honda Fit. Nothing against Toyota, but I think Honda makes a better overall auto. I've owned both and have had less trouble overall with Hondas.

  • You are a bunch of illiterate morons.

  • I love my Fit. Small outside and roomy inside!

  • ya thats y they last forever.

  • You're a joke

  • the Honda Fit look like a 2005 toyota matrix

  • 0-60 in 9 seconds on a Fit....wow

  • no way man HONDA FIT FOR LIFE!

  • the xd is a nice car. i love mine. i disagree with people who say that the fit looks better. it's too plain. i like the details on the xd. but watever. i'm not here to "start" anything.

  • I respectfully disagree. True, it is all about opinion and we can see from how widely those range on this comment board. I feel the XD is trying too hard to become that Ford Mustang or Lincoln Navigator. Its looks are just to over sized. The front end alone says it all with the big "I've arrived so everybody look at me" type grille. The Honda is perfect for a college student because of that loading capacity. Yes, the power is a bit latte style. But if you're hurting there, you can get a turbo.

  • i was thinking an intake and some other stuff. but yes, good point.

  • the fit is so nice and decent looking

  • honda fit is da best just swap the engine on that bitch! an that shit is sick! HOnDA 4 Lyfe Biatch

  • "honda fit is da best just swap the engine on that bitch!"

    lol. and we wonder why honda has the "rice" name attached to it. damn you guys!

  • "honda fit is da best just swap the engine on that bitch!"

    lol. and we wonder why honda has the "rice" name attached to it. damn you guys!

  • honda putting that 109hp to work LOL

  • lol i hate em both thank god the xd won.

  • fuck you

    handa VTEC

  • fuck you

    honda VTEC

  • lol vtec cant help u here FAGGOT!

  • no but a new intake and new tires and rim can, bitch

  • Take your fail Honda breadvan back to Japan. The only reason they brought it here because the Civic got too fat, big, and expensive taking it out of its own class.

  • go 2 popeyesmarkiv videos and u see us own a freaking vtech predlude. in a 23yr old car

  • yeah but it a prelude not predlude dum fuck. and second i race you any day in a 15 year old civic that get from 0to60 in 5 flat. with nothing but some new rubber and a supercharger.

  • lol oh come on cant do it stock? how sad. the only good honda is a dead honda.

  • Honda's are pieces of shit.

    The Prelude was an ugly slow piece of shit. Good thing honda killed it.

  • Your ignorance overwhelms us all.

  • It is just to bad you couild never find a dead Honda, idiot.

  • i have an xd its fucking amazing!!!

  • the fit looks so awkward, like a Suzuki Aerio

  • the Scion is fugly compared to the Fit

  • they're both good damnit! Better than American junk.

  • thank you finally someone that knows something hahaha

  • Thank you finally someone speaking the truth... haha

  • who gives a shit about the stereo? seriously

    the mobile interior of the fit is insane.

    this makes the fit what it is.
