Default I GOT A LOT OF JUNK IN MY TRUNK

So yeah the XB is not the fastest car out there-butI've beat a few Hondas, and other doofus people who keep trying to race me but.....

I have hauled 2 futons home in it (one in a box, ones set-up compeletely-just folded the back all the way forward), a lazy boy with a built in massager (just pulled the back off of it), 15 plants from Lowe's (this is the night that my girlfriend decided she actually liked the weird little box), 2 dressers completely set up, 4 nervous cats (when we moved), 2 mountain bikes (not the best fitting but I can't afford a roof rack just yet)-try that with a regular car

...and try doing this in any other car that can carry it and get 30+mpg still...

great to see you're getting use out of the extra space, theres definitely a lot of it for the MPG.

Yup...lots of space....it's very deceiving to look at the outside and then sit inside or start loading stuff in it. I have been very pleased with the amount of stuff I can cram in it when I need to...lol

I fit a full size washer and full size dryer in the xB at the same time and me and the wife were still comfy in the front.

Well, its not a flat panel, but a full size CRT style, 27 inch. The Costco guys that were waiting to help me load it laughed when I pulled up, but stopped after it slid right in, along with a case of beer, water, etc.

I did the futon thing too. Carried it my wife and me like 700 miles and still got 25 mpgs doing it. The box never ceases to amaze me what it can swallow up! Just remember to use towels wherever something comes in contact with the plastic parts. They scratch/scuff very easily.

MUST HAVE-ONE OF THOSE BUMPER COVERS!

I just realized I scratched my bumper again (from the foot of the last futon) but everything else was cool.

I'm a semi-professional antique-er. People used to laugh when I pulled up to an auction or estate sale in my li'l box...but when they saw how much stuff I could cram in it...

My TCM xB getting 32mpg, a Tom-Tom nav, and a fall day doin' some "urban prospecting" for good antique buys...good stuff, dat.
