Default Some odd things I noticed with my New XB

Rear Tire Well - In front of the tire is a shelf ? Im sure in the winter I will have a ton of ice stuck in it?

Under the Hood - Just under the wiper asembly is another shelf? Almost looks like you could store tools in it?

Window Locks - This one is weird. If you press the window lock to look everyones window from working. You can't roll them down either from the front? You have to unlock the window again? huh?

Armrest - Its be dicussed to death. I feel like I'm going to break it.

Blind Spots - I thought I would have them with the C pillars but NONE!!!

I am amazed by the number of people complaining about blind spots behind the C pillars. Honestly, the only way you would have a true "blind spot" is if your mirrors are incorrectly adjusted. Once I got out on the road and adjusted my mirrors I didn't have any problems with blind spots.

Then the haters would have one less thing to complain about.... It's much easier for them to b*tch about it....

I've been driving the original for two years, and I don't think I've looked through those tiny little windows in back even once.

In fact, that's where the radio antenna is, and I thought it was a defroster for the first 18 months I owned the car. It took me that long to notice those windows weren't defrosting, because in 30,000 miles I never once looked through them while driving.

So, as any reasonable human being could have figured out, that pillar doesn't present a blind spot unless you're driving from the cargo bay.

It's just one more thing to confuse Non-Scion People.
