I have been shopping for many months and stumbled upon the I'm by accident. I was looking at a used Scion xD and went into the Toyota showroom and was looking at the new cars. Well I sat in a few and when. Sat in the I'm I thought the seats were very comfortable. Well my salesperson pulled one up and I drove it and found out it was quite easy to drive. Well I went home and mulled it over and went point by point vs. the used xd. After comparing everything I decided on the I'm! My salesperson got me a great price and they dealer traded for my electric blue. Went in the next night, drove the blue one, got a good deal n my trade and drove home with my beautiful blue car. I love hatchbacks and I especially love toyotas. I have only had her for a week but n my suburban short trips driving I am averaging 33 mpg. I am very happy Toyota will be keeping this model, if they weren't, I wouldn't have bought it. So far it fits my needs and I love to drive it. It is low to the ground but I too am a senior citizen, but I am dealing with that issue. I do wish it had a CD player but I'll have to put my CDs on something else so I can play my tunes going down the road. A sunroof would be nice in this but not an option, hopefully Toyota will add that. I think the inside is very nice, much nicer than many other cars I took on test drives. If you live in a suburb of Chicago head over to oak brook Toyota in westmont and ask for Samantha. Would highly recommend her and the dealership. I wanted to update my review after 6 months, I still love my car! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new car. Well it's been a year with my little blue and I still love her! Went on multiple Midwest trips last summer and she drove like a dream. I'll be heading to door county again this summer with her and I expect great mpg again and a beautiful trip. Last year I got over 40 mpg on trips. I have had no trips in for service other than the 5,000 and 10,000 oil change tire rotation. Still lovin my little blue car!

This is a continuation of my original post now that I recently acquired a US spec 2017 Toyota I/M. Everything stated before applies and then some. The US version has 17" wheels and 225mm width tires. The result is a more stable ride on the freeway. Drives on the freeway like my 1988 Mustang GT with 245mm tires on 16" wheels. Very stable, very composed. Standing start acceleration is not a strong suit with this vehicle, but freeway performance is another matter. In my area, we have freeways with long uphill grades. The I/M can actually accelerate uphill and in 6th gear! Cruises at 75 to 80 easily!!!! In 6th gear, engine is only turning 3000 rpm. The car is very quiet at speed and comfortable. The seats have large bolsters and are snug, but still very comfortable. The driver's seat is 6-way manual adjust and don't feel the need for a power seat. We typically keep cars over 10 years and over 100,000 miles. I am very confident this vehicle will meet these milestones. Gas mileage from day 1 is 27.6 mpg. Nothing to rock about except I live in San Francisco. Lots of stop and go - and hills. When on freeway, have seen an indicated 40 mpg. Car is geared to run on cruise control @ 62.5 mph or 100 kph to get best gas mileage. On the other hand, I have seen triple digits with this car. May not accelerate fast, but can cruise with the best of them. Dusted a Civic Si on the freeway. Handling is quite good. Love the Toyo tires and the rib that protects the rims. As you can see, no negatives. Fine vehicle and got for a steal ($16k out the door). Will definitely be keeping it for the 10 years & 100k.

Found a 2016 with 17000 miles on it for $11900 It's the Red color. For the price, year and mileage I don't know that I could have gained a whole lot more value. I've only had a week, but so far The car works flawlessly. It's got great features. It's not fast but fun to drive. Smooth, Quiet, Stylish and a little sporty looking. I was relieved to research that these cars are being continued as Toyota's after the Scion name brand was discontinued. Basically this is the first version of Corolla hatchback. I've trusted Toyota for many years. I've had 2, my brother has 2 and I've never been let down. Update- My hatchback window/windshield was just imploded one morning when I went out to my car. The front windshield started as a tiny divet and now has crack streak all the way across, going to have to replace this soon. Anyway else see windshield issues with this car? Other than that it's had no issues in a year.

This hatchback is amazing handles great, gets 34 mpg all around driving. I was a little worried about the cvt but once I found out how smooth it was, I fell in love. Nice Pioneer sound with big 7" screen. Everything works perfectly every time. Good reliable Toyota that I know will run forever.
