Let me see if I get this right.

The XB set up to seat only 2 has a bit more cargo room than a mini van that is set up to seat 4 or 5.

I am not sure how that translates into bigger. Maybe if you compare the mini van in a 2 seat configuration to the xB in a 2 seat configuration... na, then the whole arguement is nonsense, isn't it?

^^^^Agreed^^^^

I know what you mean. For anyone who hasn't lugged the backseat out of a minivan, you may not understand. Assuming I'm going to Costco by myself anyway, it's much easier to make the needed space in the Box than in the Big Green JellyBean. Tell me what other subcompact can handle a load like this:

i also tested out the depth of the car and found out that you can fit wood up to 8 feet long, without even having to put the wood onthe dash...and the hatch closes...

The xB has a deceptive amount of space in such a small vehicle. With all of the seats in their normal position, the xB has more cargo space (area behind the rear seat) than a Kia Sedona.

The xB also appears to be more flexible when folding seats. We have taken quite a few trips to IKEA and loaded up the xB with an insane amount of furniture. And by folding down the front passenger seat, we were able to get long items in without having to keep the rear hatch open.

My friends with a Kia Sedona had to pre-plan their trip by removing seats BEFORE making the trip.

me rikey lots of space. me no rikey takey seats out...so me glad me have xB

(me just watch me on of my favorite movies...anyone guess what that is?)

8 foot plus Christmas Tree, fit inside.

Amazing what this thing can take.

I put an 8' ladder inside a few weeks ago. I also purchased som 8' lights for the garage and the box fit perfectly with the seats down and hatch closed. Nothin beats the xB's interior space. (maybe an Aztec--My uncle has one and we got a washer and dryer in there with no problem)

Yeah, but for the exterior size, nobody can touch it. I hauled a full size fridge in my Grand Caravan, but it also gets 14-16 mpg

this is how my sienna looks inside. 3rd row seat folds to floor level, mid row seat folds and tumble at the back of fronts seats. I have not measure it yet, but guessing the space would be equal to xB with the front seat also used as cargo space.

My van's not that old, its a 2003, but that new Stow and Go seating is pretty trick, makes me think about trading in, but I love that Magnum wagon a lot too, so it'd be hard not to trade over to that instead...

Ok let me point out the obvious to you. First the name of the post is a Question not a statement. Next I clearly made a disclaimer that it was in relationship to having to take out or move seats in the Mini Van and as others have pointed out to you there is in fact more room for stuff in the XB (unless of course you go to the trouble to remove all the seats from the Mini Van) :loser: :lalala:

Yea, and my response was called an answer. Normally one would expect that to a question. Sorry you are so sensitive though. If I would have known that I would have avoided the post so as not to offend you.

Richard, who's your favorite Little Rascal? Is it Alfalfa, or is it Spanky?

Best. Comedy. Ever.

Here is how a XB has more room..........................................

When you fold down the rear seat on the Scion XB there is actually more room in cargo length to put in your stuff then when you remove the rear 3rd seat from a Standard Chrysler 7 passenger Mini Van (in otherwords the room behind the 2nd seat in the Mini Van to the back door). In the Chrysler Mini Van but I have to unhook the 2nd seat and then roll it up forward to have the same amount of room in length. No Joking the XB has more room in length just by folding down the seat!!! My Scion is better!!!!! :love: :love: :love:

I just had to reply to this thread...

As most of you all know, I am anti-minivan which is why we bought our box. I can second the motion it holds a lot of stuff. When we moved 3 weeks ago, we had the U-haul and I had the U-Box. I was able to fit, with the seats down and using the front seat, about 12-14 Xerox boxes inside. Talk about a very versitile little vehicle! :bow:

Minivans were made to tote around the family and go on family trips, so they made it like a little SUV (Small Ugly Van) that soccer moms drive. (Sorry, no offense to the members who drive one, I'm not dissing the driver(s), just the van).

Just wanted to share my 2 Cents.

you diss the van, you diss the driver. My kids are more comfortable and safer in the Sienna. they can trash the sienna(milk,soda spill, etc) I don't care.

and my xB is more safer without my kids inside :P

Oh, come on... :nope: If you read my other posts, I'm all about "everyone has a right to their opinions" and that's just mine. I know a lot of people who drive mini-vans (mostly family), but it's all out fun when they read my plates and frame.

Just dissing the van, not the driver. IF I was dissing the driver, I would say something like, "People who drive Mini-Vans suck as much as the van itself!" I'm not like that dude, enjoy the van that's your thing and I will enjoy my thing, my box. :lol:

**Glad your kids feel safe in the van, I know my daughter (and step kids) is much safer in my box than the convertible I use to drive.**

Peace

If this thread is anything like the other one you started on wheelcovers, we're in for a long week!

My xB is a cargo virgin...the rear seats have never been folded down...

RED TAIL ALE!

I had some a couple weeks back... it was pretty good :P

Last weekend, I dumped all of my bf's belongings into the back of my xB - as well as driver and passenger - and hauled from boston-area to The Mitten. The box fit it all with plenty of room to really cram more stuff, and I managed about 26-28mpg at 65-70mph for 750 miles, 5spd. No complaints from the box, no overheating, no bottoming-out.

Pretty good.

i barely got a 9'2" ladder in my xb so what is he talkin bout.
