A car for tall drivers (and passengers)
Pros:
Comfort for tall drivers, great sound system, great mileage, smart Toyota engineering.
Cons:
Wish it had cruise control.
The Bottom Line:
No hassle pricing, great mileage and comfortable commuting and general around town manners make this a real winner. I love it!

Author's Review
I have 3000 miles on my new Scion and am delighted. Let me say that I am 6'6" tall and my first question with any car, big or small, is if I can fit in it (hint: the size of the vehicle has no bearing on whether tall folks can fit in it.) Also, I was in my 20's more than 20 years ago, so the upright driving position is comfortable and is an easy in-and-out for my old bones. The spacious back seat is great for my (also tall) kids.
Commuting 20 miles each way, part highway and part local roads, I have cut my gas bill in half over the Chevy that I had before. My one trip of ~400 miles was very comfortable for me and the family.
One interesting observation from my Scion sales rep, that the vast majority of xB buyers are NOT of the generation it is marketed to. The mileage and good sound system make it perfect for working folks who want an economical and reliable commute, and with a good sound system. In our local college area, professors, not students buy this car.
I bought it 2 months ago, expecting to use it for mostly the commute, but I find myself walking past my old barge and to the Scion for almost all driving.
