Smart vs Toyota iQ - by Autocar.co.uk

[@m4rk83]

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

[@drgoodspd6382]

How has it treated you?

[@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

[@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.

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

[@alecsmith4894]

@HermannRattenhuber The Smart DOES have a manual gearbox too

[@04smallmj]

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!

[@SimbaTheGreat]

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

[@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.

[@alecsmith4894]

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

[@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]

@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]

@Shicomm i prefer smart car, the iQ looks ugly for me somehow, and smart have a badass looking and a turbo engine, soo and is not the smart fault to lose the race, is just the smart driver got a dumb idea to go in a closed road, and smart looks more cooler, easier for parking and have more colors than iQ, and smart is cheapier too, soo i go with the smart, go smart! :D

[@Filipe1020]

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

[@Shicomm]

The smart has become dull , the iq is fresh looking and is a nicer car overall. Too bad the price is so high..

[@shahvei]

Smart all the way.

[@jeniferlopez3220]

PUSSY POP

[@mrityounjaykumar5432]

Renj 300 km upcoming in india 2022 ev

[@sportemart6395]

iQ wins !

[@decamerondix]

can't expect much from these people-after all they compared a focus with a gtr

[@hites05]

At least you can count on the iQ being more reliable and getting better MPG than the Smart.

[@coolerdude44]

especially when the focus won :P

[@Yoda8232]

Will it drift? Toyota iQ. lmao.

[@basketballfrogy]

@Billy1RBstudios Bad quality, fast and safety cars,

[@rsturbojet]

What's new? Toyota engineering sucks!

[@sportemart6395]

Are you brain dead ?

[@kaox44]

...no, it's a piece of crap. Check consumer report.

[@WerthersRyummy]

Yah, toyota totally sucks. Thats why supras are so sought after. Makes sense.
