Title: Transport: What can fit in a Scion XB, Kia Soul, or Nissan Cube?
Post by: RayB on August 29, 2010, 09:27:27 pm
I'm curious about what the carrying capacity is (in arcade terms) for these boxy little "urban" vehicles?  (Scion XB, Kia Soul, Nissan Cube). Can you fit an upright? or a pinball machine?

Ohh I like this question..  I'd say no.  I have a friend that has a Soul in Kentucky, I'll have him take measurements and pics.

I rented a soul for a few days back about a month ago. It's definitely bigger on the inside than you might think, but I'm guessing getting a full side cab in there would be a very tight squeeze

I'd love to see the answer, too!

As per the specs (http://specs), the Scion XB has 122.5 cubic feet of volume available, so you could fit ~1,715 joysticks into the car or ~141,120 buttons.  Damn, that's a lot!

 ;D

You could fit a sega genesis with the cd add on.. But not with the 32x ... Unfortunately..(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:T0dgoAt3bCJJsM::www.computercloset.org/SegaGenesisCD.htm&t=1&usg=AFrqEzfudSj6gl65fSLf3SM_x35oBTwasA)

It'll work if you tie the 32X on the roof.

From my friend in Kentucky

the back hatch is 36"x30" but the inside dimensions are a few inches bigger. With the seats down, the trunk is 55" deep

4' 7"
Too short for the average upright video. Enough for a cabaret and cocktail.

How long is a pinball body?

Get a wrench and you can pull out the passenger and back seats if you have them...  add a lot more room...  I pulled out all the seats but the drivers seat in my old 95 Montero and I could fit all kinda of stuff in it...  I miss that truck...

My Scion xB has been hauling pinball machines for many years without issue.  But it's time to move on to a new vehicle. 

Anyone driving anything comparable they're happy with?

I’ve been hearing “Element fixing to come back out” for years and I’ve given up.  I’m gonna go see if I can actually fit in anything on the market this afternoon.
