One other thing is road noise. It's a noisy car. BUT, it's a great car and the standard safety features are fantastic. I absolutely love mine. Also, it has more hp than similar vehicles of its class. I test drove a Honda Fit and its puny 109 hp engine made interstate ramp driving pretty hairy. It also sucked on hills. The XD's 128 horses make this little car a lot more fun to drive.
SLOUTION 2 IS NOT CORRECT! The xD DOES NOT have center mounted gauges like the old xA did (like in the middle where above where your stereo is?). It has its speedo and tach right in front of the driver like normal.
THEY MAY be referring to the arrangement of the needles in that both the speedo and tach are in the same ,but seaparate cluster see pic.
I'd also disagree to say that the storage is below average. the rear seats fold nearly flat, and when upright, the also can recline up ADN slide forward to offer more room while still maintaining seating space,(although somewhat reduced.)
road noise is NOT at a luxury level but, its not ridiculous either (the nice factory stereo should help). all in all for the money, this car has style, MPGs, room, comfort and quality.
The only major drawbacks to the xD are its center-mounted gauges, which take some getting used to, and cargo capacity that's a bit less than the segment's average.
