hey everyone, i'm from MN and i'm #1 on the waiting list at my local dealer for a xA. but i thought i would look into the xB before i got it. i looked at the specs and the xB isnt much bigger than the xA on paper...is this true? i've only seen an xA in person (got to test drive the one my dealer bought from cali)

i think it would be awesome to drive the xB if its not that big. i dont mind bigger vehicles, but i passed on a Trailblazer so i could eventually get the scion. so getting the xB wouldnt make sense if its pretty big. thanks for the info guys.

 

the xB only feels big... its a very very small car. I could...
park anywhere
make my own lane if I have too
drag my trashcans past my car in narrow driveway with room to spare

but

I still have carried 5 people in car over long distance, (3 Guys, 2 Chickadees)
and can load tons of stuff in car when I have too...

 

Exterior wise, the Xb is not much larger (wheelbase/width) but interior it is huge compared to the Xa. I drove both and seriously considered the Xb because the interior is larger and more comfortable for me (I'm 6'3"/240lb). I bought the Xa because it is lighter, more nimble, and quicker-just more fun to drive. I still fit pretty well in it and almost never ride in the rear seat so I'm happy with it.

If im not mistaken, i think you can fit a xA in the back of a xB.

 

CBSIMONSEZ you can fit it in the xB but you have to fold the mirrors

 

 

If I remember correctly, xB is 1.5 inch longer than xA but it feels much bigger than the xA. BTW, xB has the same length as this year model of Miata.
