More room in the 05 then 09


Well I call my local scion place and they say they have an 06 BOP with 20k so I say I'll be right there to take a look. I get there and they have just sold it so needless to say I'm pretty bummed. I start walking aroudn the lot and see the new 09's. Do the seats in the 09's go any lower? I feel like I have more room in my 05 then in the 09. I'm 6'5 and I fit better in my 05 then I did in the 09. If I would have fit better i would have bought it today.

Let me know if you guys know of the seats being able to be lowered in the 09's. If they can I might go back and pick it up

The 2nd gen xBs roof has been lowered on them! That's why it feels like it has less headroom than the 1st gen xBs!

Look into weapon R seat rails for the 09. In the gen 1 it is inches lower.

As for size, the Gen 2 is a few inches wider, about a foot longer -much in the cargo area behind the back seat, and a couple inches lower than the gen 1.

As for the seating itself, the dash is a somewhat different shape and so are the seats. Whether one of the other feels "larger" depends on who one is and how they sit/fit in the cars. I can easily imagine that some would feel the gen 1 is bigger, while others would feel like the gen 2 is. They are more different than one significantly larger than the other.

I have a gen 2 and am 6'2" and have the seat on the lowest it goes. I have 4-5 inches of headroom.
