Literally just ordered an IQ2 on Saturday!! Can't wait to get it!!!!

[@eaaeeeea]

I'm no fan of small cars but I actually want an iQ.

[@FrankATracy]

The new 2015 smart fortwo has a four foot tighter turning radius than the IQ. It now also comes standard with either a true manual transmission or a standard automatic transmission. It also comes with something called Side Assist that helps with cross winds. And lastly the battery is now much easier to get to.

The IQ is the only little car that I really like. It looks great, I wonder how it will look in the states though next to SUVs and huge sedans

[@CodebitePk]

@MisakiLeasim It costs around 14300$(9500pounds) in UK

[@alecsmith4894]

@HermannRattenhuber The Smart DOES have a manual gearbox too

[@marcandsebe]

IQ = 3 seats & 4th seat as a boot Smart = 2 seats & a boot I have driven both. Don't like the gear changing on the Smart and really like the comfort and performance of the 1.3lt 6 speed IQ

[@marcandsebe]

I've owned 2 Toyota's, my current being a Hilux 2.5lt D4D and the last one a Hilux 2.8lt. They both are/were extremely reliable. I would expect the IQ to be very reliable as well.

I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to sell it over there, even with the narrow roads of the UK I don't see many!

[@coolerdude44]

you can't help it. what do you think they just go down to the show rooms and pick out the cars they want for the test? they ring up toyota and smart respectively and they have to make due with what press cars they sent over.

[@MisakiLeasim]

does anybody knows how much the iQ costs there in UK in US dollars? Because everyone is saying it costs a LOT more... hmm...

[@alecsmith4894]

@basketballfrogy I agree- Toyota is reliable! My Dad drives a 1980 Toyota Carina and it is very reliable!

[@SimbaTheGreat]

cant wait for the toyota iQ to hit the US market as a scion....i want one lol

[@sportemart6395]

iQ wins !

[@order9066]

It's 2 years later and the sales of the Smart are a disaster in the U.S.

Renj 300 km upcoming in india 2022 ev

[@alecsmith4894]

@hites05 the Smart car diesel can achieve 89mpg, much more than the 65mpg of the Toyota. And then you have Mercedes customer service and reliability

[@Filipe1020]

@basketballfrogy that's not true, mercedes makes good quality, fast and safety cars, that's why mercedes is a luxuous car brand

[@coolerdude44]

especially when the focus won :P

[@shahvei]

Smart all the way.
