Safety

Whether the Scion is going to be your car or your teen’s car, you’ll be pleased to know that it comes with an antilock braking system as well as front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags for both rows.

Electronic stability control is available for an extra $650. I’d really like this important safety feature to become standard. Come on, Scion, let’s step it up on the safety front.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: A rear-facing infant-safety seat might be a tight fit.
In School: Kids sitting in booster seats fit comfortably, and they can get in and out of the xD on their own.
Teens: It’s great for the teen driver and the teen rider, but their friends might be envious that they have such cool parents.
