If you need the kind of interior room and flexibility provided by a compact SUV, but you don’t want the tall ride height or so-so fuel economy that comes with it, check out the 2012 Scion xB. Its simple car-like suspension and frugal 4-cylinder engine make it easy to live with, while its boxy design creates a huge cargo area.
If you need all-weather abilities like high ground clearance or AWD, the 2012 Scion xB hatchback can’t help you out. If you want something fun and funky that can easily tackle a Nor’easter, try the Nissan Juke.
