It seems like you've pretty much decided on the xA. Its a good car, just hard to carry lots of stuff around compared to the xB; but if that doesnt matter, the xA is golden!

Stellar, you can carry lots of stuff in the XA. I always have my rear seats down... the area has twice as much space as my hatchback Mustang had.

I never said it couldnt, just compared to the xB :D

I've loaded the xA with a good deal of stuff including 5 rims+tires, an axle back exhaust, CAI in box, strut & sway bars and a whole lot of other goodies from my pervious car. This thing can haul a good amount of stuff.. just not as much as teh cornered out xB

It's true, I can't believe how much stuff will actually fit in the XA with the seats down. I love the XB too, but the XA has my heart. I went back and forth for a week, agonizing over which model to get. My mother in law even has an XA. And she is 68, and happy as a clam. Funny thing is, she really wanted the XB, until she went to a dealer and saw the XA.

I kept waiting for her to ask me, "Son, do you think I should 18's or stick with the stock alloy rims!"

Anyway, Now my other half got an Element, so I feel like we have the best of both worlds.

And yes, Honda's and Scions can co-exist in the same garage in peace.

Same here, really wanted a XB with space but have to go with XA. The reason is I am chinese. What is the deal with that? Not a big deal to me but to my gf and my family. XB look very similar to Funeral car we chinese use , which also mean bad luck.

So XB will not sell in China , taiwan and chinese area...

XAs are more accepted by the general public, here. People either love or hate the XB. I thought the XB was funky at first, but now I think it's the bomb. I love my XA, though.

some have a pic of christy's car??

as for the xB.....I sell Elements. Most people hate the looks, but most also appreciate the functionality of it. I like the xB for the usable storage and size, but the xA is just cooler looking when it's done right! (i.e. Kenstyle body kit!)

xB has both Traction Control and VSC. The traction control you can turn off, but the VSC is always on. Yes, the remote keyless is standard on the xB only.

I don't believe you. Elements and xB's cannot exist in the same garage. I bet you if you set up some sort of camera to record what would happen overnight while no one is watching, you'd see what really goes on.
