The 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine gets an Environmental Protection Agency-estimated 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined rating with either the five-speed manual transmission or the optional four-speed automatic.

Standard safety equipment includes antilock brakes, front airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, electronic stability control and active front head restraints. Despite all the standard safety equipment, its mediocre crash-test results leave the 2011 Scion xD at the bottom of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's list of small cars.

Less expensive affordable small cars like the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit have much better estimated fuel economy and are priced below the Scion xD’s $15,045 base price. Second, the xD’s seats are uncomfortable for the driver and passengers. This car really isn’t about performance or cargo capacities.

As insurance industry “Top Safety Picks,” the Cube and the Soul are also the safest box cars.
