I was cross-shopping the Fit and the xD also. After doing a lot of research and test driving both, I went with the Fit.
The only advantage the Scion has really was power. It's got substantially more torque and get-up and go and its quite noticeable. However it didn't make up for the uncomfortably high seating position, squishy handling, numb steering and gigantic c-pillar blind spot wide enough to hide a 3 trailer semi. Overall the Honda seems to be much more well thought out, the cargo area is much more useful and it's much much more fun to drive, despite the difference in power.
I'd say the xD might be a good choice for someone who is going to buy an automatic anyway and/or cares more about acceleration than handling and probably won't use the massive cargo space of the Fit.
