I am sure I had to bring the seatback up when I sat in the xA, because it was reclined too far for me to be comfortable. Could be an incorrect recollection, but I think there's a mistake here somewhere...

I figured as much, that's why I made my comment originally. Some cars lack a seat-height adjuster (but not many); none nowadays lack a recliner.

Keep in mind that in the xA you sit higher up, almost like one does in a truck. Your legs and feet go downward more than frontward. This takes a little getting used to. I'm 5'10" and I find it very comfortable. Yesterday at a red light I was stopped next to an older Civic, and I looked way down at it.

A very small truck. The Civic is a low-slung car--everyone looks down at those (except maybe drivers of little sports cars). Tall small cars are the norm now--the Fit, Accent, Rio et. al. all have relatively high seating positions. It's how to add more passenger space in a short car.

oops! Car seats can have 8 movements. 1,2: forward/backward. 3,4: recline, raise back(vertical) 5,6: "Height" up,down(whole seat), & 7,8 "Rake": angle bottom of seat to support the thigh. The Scion xa does not have "Height", or "Rake". If car seats simply had a few a few more inches for thigh support on the lower cushion, most gripes would disappear (at least from men!)

Yes, the smallest truck you could imagine. But I was attempting (with little clarity on my part) to explain why reclining the driver's seat would be uncomfortable: the seating position is more vertical than horizontal.

I did a head-to-head comparison of the Accent GLS and Yaris sedan today; here are my impressions:

Hey Back, are we suppose to believe that? Since you've shown that you're pro Hyundai. And Edmunds , please close the Forum Test Drive BS. Its full of sheet of metal anyways. Who do you suppose will believe Back?
