I love my oem arm rest, and at 6'2" its not too short for me (I have long monkey arms though). I don't know how I drove the stick without it. I even illuminated the rear cupholder. Now all my guests can have glowing drinks

i'm 5'10 or 5'11 and it seems fine to me. i am equally proportioned. yeah the armrest is lower than the door but i'f i'm using the arm rest for my right arm my left arm is on the wheel. i dunno it's all preferresnce but in all my previous cars with arm rests they werent level with the door and theyres factory. hmm oh well i like mine i guess that's all that counts. lol.

It looks really nice and almost like the zeta but cheaper.

I tried to ask if that one would fit the xB, and the only response I got was "get a zeta", which helps me about as AIDS....which is not at all...I got the OEM xB one from new scion parts, oem material, oem fitment, matches the seats perfectly, can't get much better! The zeta looks cheap to me, if I weren't to go OEM, I would go Boomerang, looks like some good stuff, and I've heard some good reviews on it.

The Zeta is so solid. Not only can i lean hard on it without fear, my daughter was climbing on it going between the seats. It's a perfect height for me. I can tell just from these pics this would be too low for me, but luckily we have options so everyone can be happy...
