It seats 4 people no problem. Gas tank is small. Only good for big city. Won't be too comfortable for long road trips.
I like the compact size. Using a micro car in SF is great. Never have problems looking for parking...

Zips and zooms and is fun to drive/.
I love my is because it seats 2, is very roomy and since it basically is a Toyota, it is very reliable. It gets good gas mileage and it zips around town and on the freeway. It is comfortable and has basic features. I have added after market items to mine - cat-back exhaust and k&n intake system so it has more power than a standard is.

Scions are amazing cars, smooth driving, and overall an awesome car! 9/10.
My vehicle is amazing! It has enough seats to fit a family of five, the seats are comfortable, the ac and heat works amazing, it drives very smooth, and it has plenty of trunk space to fit groceries! If you are looking for a smooth driving, family car, or an overall amazing car I would definitely recommend!

For a small car, it has a ton of space, both head/foot room and carrying capacity.
It's very reliable and gas efficient. It's also enjoyable to drive. I like that it's so maneuverable and has a ton of space in it for such a small car.

That small cars are extremely convenient.
I love that my car is very small but in the front it is extremely spacious. It is easy to park in the city and it turns on a dime. I like that it has the Bluetooth option as well and with the seats down it is good for storage since I transport big projects. What I do not like about it is that it is got a small gas tank and I feel like I am filling up all the time.

2014 scion iq review, the perfect small car.
I love my car. I like the size of it and how small it is. All of my friends think that it is funny but they usually laugh in a positive tone. Even though it is small it still feels like a normal car to drive, even if a little more bumpy than most cars. It is very fuel efficient and can be filled cheaply. Mine is brown and completely stock. I bought it used with minimal damage. It has Bluetooth, aux, radio, and CD player. I only use the Bluetooth. The speakers are good and plenty loud. The seats are comfortable even though the headrest cannot be adjusted. One downside is that there is no glove compartment. It can be a big hassle to store important things like registrations. The car can technically fit 4 people, however my back 2 seats are always down because no one would fit back there anyway. I would really suggest the car to someone who just needs to get from one place to another, not for serious long distance travel. It would be good for driving around a city due to its size. You can slide right into where other cars would have trouble. There are really no features other than its size. It has all the normal things that any modern car would have, and not much more. Even after all of this, I really like it. If you do not care about space, do not need to carry more than one other person, and do not want anything big, then this is a perfect car. It is not for everyone though and that is reasonable. It could be dangerous for new drivers.

Good car, expensive specialty parts
It's a great sturdy little car with great gas mileage. The only problem is finding the specialty parts required for repair as well as the costs of said being on the high end.

It is not made any more since Scion is no longer in business but Toyota should make something similar. We Americans need to think more about the environment instead of driving around big gas guzzling cars to look cool.
I love how compact my car is. It's a very small car but feels very big inside. It was expensive and didn't come with a lot of the bells and whistles of other cars in It's price range. Would have been nice to have a few extra things found standard on other vehicles such as cruise control.

Gas saver for city. Small gas tank.
The iq is good for the city. Not much for committing. The gas tank is 8 gallons. I typically fill up the gasoline roughly every three days. The gas would normally cost about $20. So roughly $160 -$200 a month. If once were to purchase the car it would be best to use it for the city. The car is a 4 seater but there’s no leg room for the back. I just use it as a regular trunk. The driver and passenger side is very roomy. Lots of space.
