| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review |

More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review |

Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review |

The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review |

I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review |

Drivers side left foot rests on pad which is slightly to the right due to the wheel. Takes a while to become acustomed to it. see full Ford Freestyle review |
