I’m car shopping, and it’s been a long process and I think I’ve come down to a decision between these two new vehicles: the 2008 Nissan Versa S hatchback and the 2008 Scion xD. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, etc. about the Nissan Versa or the Scion xD? Which is a better choice? In…

Nissan Versa and the Scion (I believe you mean the xB?)are very different vehicles. The Scion is a very reliable, ultra-utilitarian box and is extremely popular in my area (near the mountains) with campers, mountain bikers, etc. It has a lot of inside room, and you can store several bike upright in…

The Matrix also has a $1,000 dollar rebate until October 31. I’ve been shopping the same models, but my wife is not in agreement a…

…a RAV4…drove one for years in Northern Vt and never needed snow tires. Remember that 4WD and AWD help you get going and keep going in snow and ice. They Don’t help you stop or stay on the road. In short they can be counted on to get you out of the ditch you slide into.

I’ve looked at the xD and test driven the Versa. I prefer the xD, but it’s purely a matter of taste. The xD seemed to have a little less of an econobox feel. Both are good choices.
