Battle of the EconoBoxes!! Literally

Kia Soul vs. Scion xB vs Nissan Cube



If you had to drive one of these everyday, and killing yourself wasn't an option, which would it be?

I'll take the hit first and say the Soul for me!

I'd take the cube and drive it straight into a tree. Or maybe take it out on the lake to do some spring ice fishing.

I'll take the best of a bad lot.

Scion Xb for me.

You sure I can't kill myself instead?

Overall, gotta go with Gary on this one.

But if I hadda pick one of these boxes under duress... I'd pick the first gen xB. It's more 'boxy' quirky, and I don't like the new one as much.

xB! It looks like Bubba from Forrest Gump, but I still love it.

So is that what Ford sort of had in mind with the Flex styling?

Picked the Kia. Current xB and cube are horrible. Previous gens for both were much better-looking IMHO.

I stopped by a Toyota dealer to take a look at Yaris today and they had few xBs on the lot.

I gotta say, it's a pretty decent vehicle and not pricey at all.

I still prefer Soul out of all 3, but if I was spending my money I would definitely spend it on xB.

Beat me to it.

If you forced me to drive one I'd pick the heaviest one and use it to run over the other two and take out all 3.

I'll have to go with the silver thing, whatever it is. The brown one...well...they made it the right color.
