I've never been in an xb or xa but im only about 5 foot 11in an i find that sometimes its hard to get out of my tc if there are cars parked close by due to the fact that the doors are so long.
Jrlin,
happens to me sometimes when I'm riding with friends, or driving my mom's car, they have those long doors, and when I go to get out in a parking lot I have to like bend my body backwards matrix style to get out and not hit anyones car...

I'm 5'8, 125 lbs. and got lambo's so I only got 2 feet really to slip in and out in just usual usage, not raising the doors which I do most of the time just getting in and out, and I slip right in and slip right out... Only thing I hate is being parked sideways on a hill where you have to open the door up the hill. Thats a Bee-otch
I'm a little over 6' 3" and my tC is just barely big enough. I've got to retract the shade on the sunroof, lean the seat way back and scoot the seat well forward. Still, it's more than comfortable enough.
im obnoxiously tall for a girl... 5'10, and my legs are so long that my nickname used to be flamingo, and I can't find a pair of pants that doesn't make me look like im getting ready for a flood....but the tc isn't that bad at all, if you have ever sat in a stealth/3000gt.... those are bad, the seats sit so low, its annoying. I get out of the tc with ease.

Sorry, just playing around.
Back on topic- I'm 5' 11" and wish the steering wheel telescoped out. I got the manual and it seems like the ergonomics just don't work out. I have the seat clicked as far back as it will go. My legs still feel kind of cramped on the pedals, but then my arms can't quite reach the steering wheel without leaning forward out of the seat.
I think the xB is butt ugly, but I gotta give it credit for having plenty of room inside. When I first saw it in the showrooms, I just laughed. However, after I sat inside, I was like WTF... where did all this space come from. I looked outside just to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion.
The xB badly needs more displacement. Nothing smaller than the Corolla 1.8 please.

Plus, I love sitting in an xB. It gets my vote. I almost always measure how much room I have above my head when I sit in one, and my legs have plenty of room.
