Juuuust got my IA. Literally have only driven it home, haha. But it's a comfortable compact, great mpg, you get a lot for your money! The only negative is that it's pretty compact! Not a lot of space for whomever is in the back! A lot of Tru k room however.

Cheap and DANGEROUS

DO NOT BUY A SCION OR TOYOTA Ia! These cars are terrible. Literally the worst car I've ever driven. Unreliable, cheaply made, and everything on it is special. Need a tire? There's only one tire that fits this car and it's ONLY made for this car. Be prepared to wait several days and pay double or triple what you expect. Worse, they're those incredibly stupid 'low rolling resistance' tires, so there's no grip. They slide all over in the damp and you simply don't stop when pressing the brakes. In addition I'm certain there's a fault, either in design or construction, because I've been through 15 tires in two years! Make sure you don't let anything hit your windshield! Due to the sensors for the 'Smart City Brake' (which doesn't even work!) The sensors have to be recalibrated, another repair that costs twice as much because Toyota's designers are morons. This isn't just a bad design, it's actively dangerous. Those designers shouldn't be fired, they should be shot.

2016 IA over 140,000 miles still drives like new

I bought this car used with 20k miles. I bought it for work I drive about 400 miles a day for work. I now have over 140k miles and the car still drives like the day I bought it. Advice I would give keep up with maintenance oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Also I always use ultra gas keep the gas and engine clean plus gives the car even more boost. Also I drive it mostly in sport mode car practically drives itself

This was an awesome experience. I love my car but more over I love the Naperville Toyota dealership. Scott my salesman didn't pressure me. He explained everything and I felt like I could say no. Will be back and recommend.
