Smart vs Iq

I have had 3 Smarts before, I like small cars. I was motivated to buy an IQ because of the japanese techchnology. Havinga Smart is like having a Mercedes dressed as a Smart. Expensive repairs, it is a good car but when you come to service all you haved saved in gasoline goes down the drain. When I tested the IQ I could not beleived I was on a such a small car. The ride is far better than Smart cars. The confort, suspension, and better yet the IQ has 4 seats. Where I live in Puerto Rico a Smart will cost aroumd $20,000 and so the IQ. (With taxes, and all hidden costs). I know I dont have a racing car, so I dont expect a fast one. It moves ok in stereets and in expressways, good ac and music. I am really pleased with my car. I sold my motorcycle to be on a safer ride. I am a Mustang 6cyl driver and I like to use my IQ a lot do to economy and parking space. I really recommend this one.

I have people stop me all the time to ask about my car. They are very impressed & want to check one out until I tell them they aren’t sold in the USA any longer. I’ve driven my car from Washington state to Arizona several times. If this car was still sold here, I would buy another, and another... ive never had any problems with it. Even driving long distances on interstate freeways with big rigs, she just keeps going. And the gas mileage is amazing. Even loaded to the brim, i averaged 44 mpg from Washington to Phoenix! People may laugh at the size of my car, but I laugh right back as I pay 1/4 or less for a tank of gas than most trucks and SUV’s. If your over the whole big rig thing with the high pump prices, this is a great car.

This is the best car for around town shopping. Great value and of course it's a Toyota product. At 40 mpg on a bad day and can be purchase with low miles for cheap this is the best used car buy around. I love mine and we drive it everywhere around the Dallas Fort Worth. I've had this car now for 2 years. Runs llike a Toyota , just change the oil and keep on driving. I'm thinking of adding a second one to the garage.

My 2012 Scion iQ is by far my favorite car I've owned. For perspective, I've owned or shared with my partner the following manufacturers: Toyota, Buick, Ford, Mazda, and Subaru. This car isn't for everyone, but if you live in the city where parking is a premium, want cheap, reliable transportation and enjoy thoughtful design...this mini is for you. Take this vehicle for what it is, a 2-person mini made for the city. While it has 4 seats, it really is a 2 seater that can accommodate a second passenger in a pinch. This leads me to my point on thoughtful design, this vehicle was designed for the driver and front passenger. Scion's design team did a great job making a mini feel like a normal car for the driver and front passenger. It's as wide as a normal car, you almost forget that it's so small. It has a great stock sound system and the CVT doesn't feel elastic, at least not to me and this is my first CVT. I'm a big believer that you should love your car only as much as it's reliable. And this vehicle has cost me the least to operate. It's not a 40 mpg sipper, but it's frugal enough. I take it in for oil changes regularly and have changed the battery and tires...that's it. It's never been in for anything else. Zero, zilch. It's coming up on it's 10th birthday and operates like it's brand new, I plan to celebrate by giving it some love and getting it detailed. Given it's track record, as long as there are parts available, I'm confident it will go for another 10 years. When was the last time you could say that about a vehicle you owned?

I love this little guy! I was on the fence for about a year before I bought a used one. I was not sure if the tiny car would be able to handle itself in Dallas where the big cars all go to live. This thing is zippy and extremely easy to park in the dwarf size parking spaces downtown. I am a tad hesitant to take it on the major freeways but have done it, just more of a side street gal! If you are wanting a cute little two seater with excellent visibility and easy maneuvering, you cant go wrong with the reliability of a scion. I did also consider the Smart cars but they get pretty bad reliability reviews.
