its very narrow car. It has lots of head room but thats about it. I was going to buy it for my wife but being 6'2" 220 the head room was the only good part. It doesn't have balls either... she will not like it since xb has less power then civic

Not much less power, 108hp vs. 127hp, 2000lbs vs. 2400lbs. weight difference should balance it out. Either way neither of the 2 have acceleration...lol

but the XB also has the aerodynamics of a brick wall.

Corrected

I too do not like the gauge setup on the xB. But if you can get past the styling, then you are getting a good, reliable car for a reasonable price.

I like the xA and xB. But 104hp is a bit too meager for my taste.
I'd consider the tC as well, while you're looking. h:
