1) Center console is too wide - not enough room for me to stretch out. 2) Seat can be raised and lowered (good) but at its lowest position it feels like the cushion leans down making me feel like my body slips forward. 3) Arm rest on door too high. see full Scion xB review |

Performs far better than the earlier models with better fuel economy than the epa numbers indicate. It is rare that my mpg drops below 27 and my commute is mostly 25mph traffic. see full Scion xB review |
