Be prepared for others to make fun of you if you’re 6’4” and 250. Plenty roomy for one person to get back and forth to work. Also good for taking the dogs to the beach, but that is a short drive.

Great concept but poor execution

The comment by the editor that there are larger cars at the same price is hilarious. The whole idea about this car is being small. People like me want a tiny car to zip around. Only problem is that the car doesn't zip very much. And for a tiny car the fuel economy is not much better than my Mazda CX-5 SUV. The engine sounds like there are loose marbles inside at startup, and also makes other uninspiring noises from time to time. The brake pedal makes loud annoying clicking noise (normal noise, according to Toyota). It doesn't offer a lot of features for the money. The only good thing about it is the tiny size.

Remember it is a very small car, good for 2 people and use the back seat area for shopping bags. You get Toyota reliability and an automatic that reminds me of the very old Dynaflow. It is easy to drive and provides a smooth ride on good roads and a transmission that is shiftlessly smooth. When two people are in the car you will think it is full sized. Quality is good and what ever you do, don't look for the transmission dipstick! Why? It is nonexistent. The transmission is sealed and supposedly good for 120,000 miles. Basically don't worry about it, forever! There is a dipstick for engine oil. Use 0 W 20 weight. Good radio! This is your chance to go green and save us all from global warming. By the way the car has been discontinued by Toyota so their are bargains out there on the used car market for a great little city car. I did take it out on the expressway and it did nicely at 65 mph. I suggest driving with 2 hands on the steering wheel! Enjoy and adjust if you buy one. I does give a rough ride on rough roads! It was a great car. I traded it for a 1948 Crosley, a 50 mpg economy car that was way ahead of its time.

I've owned em all. Traded in a truck for this. I bought $25 bucks worth of gas on my way to work Thursday, went to work Friday, after work, the get gas light came on. I had IT!! I was near the Toyota dealer, went by and looked at the Scions, my daughter has one, looked at the IQ, learned it was the cheapest to maintain over 3 years, said fine, take this truck, give me this car. Off i went. (had to continue below)
Had my eye on a Scion!
