What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Scion xB

2006 Scion xB Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	you feel like you are driving a larger vehicle when looking out from the drivers seat see full Scion xB review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Toyota Corolla

2013 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Corolla's specs indicate rear legroom worthy of a large sedan, 41.3 inches, a substantial four more than in the Sentra and five more than in last year's Corolla. To provide this increase, Toyota stretched the car's wheelbase by four inches, taking it from the shortest in the segment to the 106.3-inch dimension shared by the Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Nissan. The Ford Focus, with a 104.3-inch wheelbase, is now the briefest of the bunch. The Corolla's overall length has also grown by four inches, to 182.6. Subjectively, the Corolla's advantage over the Sentra seems about half as large. Still a lot of legroom for a compact, especially in conjunction with a more comfortably positioned seat. Rear seat headroom is in much shorter supply in both cars. see full Toyota Corolla review
