This far is a death trap
Just like many other reviews I’ve seen this care is awful! I tried to start a lemon law claim (never got paperwork returned) for my transmission constantly blowing, and loss of traction when raining. My transmission broke after not even a year of owning the car and several months later after a new transmission was in it did the same thing and Sierra Toyota (CA) said “ because of the vibrations of the car it’s going to be a recurring problem” other then that my center console fell thru and Toyota has yet to fix it even though I get it serviced every couple of months! I’ve almost crashed once before in the rain my car just randomly spun out on the freeway (I told them so when I started my claim) they said it was probably my fault but I actually did crash a different time once again because my car lost traction on the freeway. The tires are hard to get for this car because it’s a special size that only scion makes but they aren’t quality tires! I would advise everyone against this car! Especially if you have a family

IA
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.

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

Great little Mazda masquerade
I recently bought an endangered species (economy compact sedan) Scion iA, known in the rest of the world as a Mazda2. With the Scion packaging, it came with all the amenities I would want standard. Speaking of standard, I sought mine out online to have a 6-speed manual. (Another option dwindling in the USA). Like most smaller Mazdas, the iA/2 is an engagingly fun drive. It handles much better than the BMW i3 I previously owned. It’s very well built, much moreso than you might expect for its modest price tag, comfortable on long trips, and gets close to 40 mpg on highway trips. I drove it from Colorado to the west coast, about 1100 miles right after i got it, and loved it. I truthfully would prefer a hatchback to the sedan, but the later hb versions of the car imported under the Yaris iA name only came with automatics, which to me would kill the main appeal of this car. While it isn’t fast, I find the driving characteristics a lot of fun, you definitely have to keep the engine revved if you’re in a hurry.
