drivencarreview... It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what car the iQ is gunning for. This "smart" idea is the next big thing in small. Tom Voelk attends the Seattle press launch of Scion's new urban runner.

this is the perfect car for 2 people....driving around the city and make a lot of stops is perfect...i bought it 2 days ago...it has a lot of space...i would recomend people to buy it...but i would also recomend people to have a bigger and more powerful car to go out of state...i don't think you'd want your IQ going out of state with such a limited space to barely put your bags...but is a good choice for single people or couples without babies!!!! so far i'm enjoying my car.

Ahh..as the haters spew out negativity. I was given one to drive for 4 days. I drove it around town and on the highway. One thing you have to remember: It's a runabout. You have to exercise extra caution and defensive driving. Otherwise, this review is dead on and I had a lot of fun driving it. However, they need to knock off $2k before I'd buy one. I'll stick to my Corollas.

i don't know why people always trash talk small car about losing in a crash, it has been proven Camry will destroy any truck that it ran into, its about the frame's Straeth. Truck that are built today will crumble, they are made out of plastic and aluminum. The reason why they do well is because of their height, the frame hit your hood instead of Frame vs frame. But Truck is prone to flip n crashed and the driver die either from being thrown out or crushed under their own weight.

Not a big fan of these 'micro' cars but this one is indeed the most intriguing one to date. I saw one at the fair and they look much better up close. Only major complaint is the lack of a manual transmission option.. perhaps that will be an option soon.

The Prius "CVT" has ONE gear. Toyota hushes up about this "CVT" and lets people think it has what engineers refer to as a CVT (a gearbox with an infinite or very high number of gear ratios). . What type of "CVT" does the IQ have? If it does in fact have a true CVT, it may be the first commercial auto with one.

I like how their like "we designed this car to be blah blah blah" when really this car came out 2 years ago in the U.K. Scion only switched the badges and gave it different wheels. Btw I know scion and Toyota are 1 company. Also Aston martin re badges this car as a Aston to cut their Co2 levels down in the U.K. They add nice leather and a upgraded interior. And some extra features but who would pay 50k for a Aston/ IQ?

I'm all for unique, high quality small cars. It's about time we get them here in the states. But I'm really at a loss with this IQ. Comparably speaking, it's expensive, the highway fuel economy is worth that some larger cars, and the styling is typical toyota charmless. I have a hard time seeing a salesman selling me on the IQ over the Fiesta, Accent, Rio, Sonic, etc, etc.

what the hell is the matter with these little bitty microcars that can't get better than 40 mpg?!!? we had geo metro's and ford aspire's 20 years ago that were even bigger than these and they could get 50. now we have all this fancy technology and what has it done to improve mileage? i would absolutely LOVE to have a tiny car like this but it's gotta get at least 50 or 55 mpg to make it worth it. you can get 37 to 40 mpg with a compact that seats 5.

@LeadHammer So it makes it a bargain? A brand new Jetta starts at 16k and that has 4 doors and a trunk, and a tad bit more bhp. You really have to be out of your mind to spend this amount of money on a bucket of crap. Mind as well just buy a moped, save a lot more money on gas and it will go just as fast.
