Honda Fit vs. Scion xD Review

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Honda and the Scion xD likely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Honda Fit's engine is significantly smaller than the Scion xD's. Note that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the flip side, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. The Honda Fit could learn a lesson or two from the xD regarding torque. Torque equals pickup, and the Scion xD will have picked up and gone by the time the Fit finally gets moving.

Utility
Neither the Honda nor the Scion xD has a marked advantage in terms of seating capacity.

Convenience
The Honda Fit's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the Scion.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Honda's front cabin compared to the Scion xD. The Honda Fit offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Scion xD does.

Dimensions
The Honda Fit's tank is roughly the same size as the Scion xD's, though the Scion xD's is slightly bigger. The Scion xD and the Honda Fit compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the xD to the dealership as the Honda Fit. Regarding MSRP, the xD doesn't cost much less than the Honda Fit.

Warranty
The Scion xD and the Honda Fit have the same basic warranty.
