It gets fantastic has mileage and meets my needs. The interior could be more spacious, and it there's a lag when shifting from first to second, but overall is a great car for the money, and I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend it as a commuter car and to save money on gas.

Silver in color, drives fast, good on gas, great features.
I love how fast my car is and how good it is on gas. I drive about an hour to school and then an hour back to work everyday and I only have to fill up at most twice a week. This is not as bad as the last car I had. I love the color of mine, it is silver and it does not show dirt too badly. I also love the touch screen features and how easy it is to make hands free phone calls when needed. I also really love the speed mode!!

It has the best mileage. Very reliable even after years of abuse on dirt roads.
Bad thing is the sweats are not comfortable even for a hour drive. It is the reason that I do not use it more. However it gets the best mileage ever and is super reliable. For those reasons I absolutely love it and have taken it all over the USA. The in car computer screen has trouble when it is raining and it is really hard to find new tires for it. I carry a full size backup tire because of that. They should change the tire size or make the hidden spot for the spare tire larger so that it does not take trunk space away.

Think of about getting a 2016 scion IA?
The interior of the car is cramped feeling. Very little headroom so I am always ducking to get into the driver's seat. There is not a center console which makes the seating upfront a little awkward too. It is constantly having issues with the Bluetooth connection when I connect my phone. It also burns through gas really quickly, I put about $25 in it every week to week and a half.

Driving a new car for 3 year. Was impressed by buying new.
It drives well, handling, storing and has a good engine. The sport feature can be handy in bad weather, and gas mileage is great. Not that this is important but I do like the design and look of the vehicle, I can drive a great car for low cost, and I know it's a Toyota so I can expect 200 thousands miles.
Walter Y

Available with Toyota now that scion has been discontinued.
Great gas mileage. Easy to maintain and reliable. Unique that it is branded as a scion, but the components are made by Mazda.

Smaller vehicle, but very good on gas mileage. Would recommend for people who are on the road a lot
Smaller vehicle, great on gas, has more technological amenities than the standard toyotas. Not too powerful going uphills or accelerating
Austin C
on March 10, 2021
Great gas mileage but terrible condition of parts.
The transmission does not kick in immediately when you hit the gas pedal, you have to wait for it to engage. The car horn sounds a bit on the weak side. The battery also has corrosion build up on it slowly. Some of the small parts in the car are falling apart.
Christina H
on February 25, 2021
It is small on the outside, but big on the inside.
The only problem I have had since I got this vehicle was that the battery need to be replaced, as well as the breaks. After 2 years, this vehicle has been very reliable. The seats are comfortable. The car comes with a touch screen radio that modernly sits up on the dashboard. The car also has cup holders in both the driver and passenger door as well as two in the middle console. This comes in handy.
Jon W
on February 18, 2021
The reliable scion IA with a reliable price.
Brakes are squeaky, pick up is good and fast, comfort is average, and technology specs are nice. Worth it for the price. The nice things are navigation, good speakers, and best for me is mpg. My average is always higher than 35 and I drive a lot. For the reliability of the car and low price it is worth it.
Cassondra S
on February 12, 2021
The scion IA is a great little car.
I am car is really great in gas mileage, it fits 4 people comfortably, and the speakers or great especially if you like louder music. The trunk is a decent size for the car size. The touchscreen is convenient, but does not work while driving. The only thing I would change is the backseat. I am not sure what it is, but it is the most uncomfortable back seat I have ever sat in. The kids do not complain so it works, but any adults forget it.
Sarah C
on February 8, 2021
Scion IA and what you should know
I love my car, it gets 30-40 mpg. It's super comfy for about 4 hours then you need to stretch a little bit. It runs great and has a switch for sports mode which I use when I need to get to speed quickly (turning into traffic or getting on the freeway) It also has Bluetooth so your phone connects to it and your music will start playing as soon as you turn it on. My only complaint with that is when you use the button on the steering wheel you can tell it to 'call John Doe' you have to use your phone to do that and then it will go over your car. I've experienced no problems with my car and find it very reliable. It also has a setting that when you look above your gas bar (yes it's a bar) it tells you how many more miles you have before running out of gas.
Thalia R
on January 27, 2021
It has a pretty good stereo system and speakers and bucket seats
The main issue I have had with my car is that no one really sells parts for it. I usually have to go through Toyota dealership for tires and any other type of maintenance. Which can get pricey with time. Overall it's a really good car it is great on gas and I love that it has some of the new technology.
Jason L
on January 25, 2021
Quick review of 2016 Scion IA
The car is very reliable and gas efficient. I commute to work everyday with this car and drive 70 miles round trip each day. I fill up my tank every 5 days. The car is pretty comfortable for long trips. Some complaints I would have is the acceleration of the car. It's pretty weak compared and often takes a while to get it up to the flow of traffic speed on the freeway.
Jessica S
on January 11, 2021
They should know that this is my car and I don't care what anyone thinks about it.
My vehicle is really a Saturn Ion but you guys did not have that as a choice. I like that it has 4 doors and it is fun to drive. The only thing that I dislike about this vehicle is that it is hard to change the oil and it doesn't drive well in snow.
Brian M
on January 10, 2021
It is a very nice car on the inside and outside. Small but still nice.
The pick up power on the vehicle is alright. No middle console to rest my arm while driving. Pretty lightweight so moves a lot during wind. Has a small gas tank so need to fill up about once every week and a half. Tires are very small so it is easy to hydroplane sometimes.
Brandi M
on December 30, 2020
The car battery keeps dying.
It wouldn't start the other day, but it was super cold outside. It drives nice. I like how it has a backup camera. I can link my Spotify. The car drives smoothly. One thing I don't like is that the battery keeps dying. When you charge the battery you have to leave it plugged in for a really long time.
Tatiyana P
on December 30, 2020
Grey scion IA great speaker and entertainment system.
Hard time speeding up, good on gas, very easy to drive and good for first time car buyers. Sometimes has brake issues such as screeching brake noises but overall a good purchase for a first car. I would recommend to get car serviced frequently to maintain the brakes and keep them working properly. Very nice stereo system and entertainment system.
Blaise K

2016 scion IA honest review.
Everything is great. Amazing car. Great gas mileage. Seats are comfortable. Only issue I noticed is that the Bluetooth will mess up of your phone is in the vehicle and the vehicle is not started. I currently haven’t found a way to fix it without leaving the area for a while.
Melinda S
on December 25, 2020
We love the car good gas mileage.
Me and my husband do not have that much room in the front seat. We keep hitting each other but the back seat has a lot of room it is good on gas mileage. We took a vacation and only spend 100 dollars up there and back. The truck is big for a lot of suitcases. The only thing we hate about it is the radio is where you put your drink at something spills you would not have a radio.
Jonathan R
on December 3, 2020
Great mileage and a great car.
The scion IA is a great car. I was recently disappointed to see the time were in fact rims and not hubcaps so I couldn't spray paint them a color I wanted. It is extremely comfortable, unless you are in the backseat. Upon buy in the car, I immediately took out the headrests of the back seats. They were extremely uncomfortable for anyone in the back. I haven't had any issues at all, besides the brakes squeaking but that is not the cars fault, more on the brake pads I assume. Great mileage.
Diana D
on December 1, 2020
It's comfortable while traveling on long trips
No complaints at all it drives and operates wonderfully, the seats are very comfortable and the steering works great,we love the backup camera it is very nice to have because we live in town and there are small children and with the camera it makes us a little more secure
Caitlin B
on November 24, 2020
It is amazing and excellent on gas.
It is a reliable car. It does really well gas wise, and it is been perfect for my family. The screen on the dash is very cool and it adds a sleekness to my car. The trunk space is very big and easy to fit an organizer in for maximum space. The blue stitching in the inside interior is a nice peek a boo touch.
Candice C
on November 24, 2020
I am happy with my purchase just need some minor tweaks to be more comfortable.
The scion IA is great on fuel. It is compact so easy to maneuver and fit in small spaces. There is no center console which makes it slightly uncomfortable because I do not have an armrest. The seats are uncomfortable so you have to buy cushions to support your back.
Jew R
on November 21, 2020
Amazingly great car, expensive parts.
The scion IA is a very affordable vehicle with added extras like Bluetooth connectivity for my phone. It has a decent sized touch screen with a great quality backup camera. The mileage is pretty amazing as well I get an average of about 32 miles per gallon and that is combined city and highway mileage. The only negative thing I have to say is that part can be pretty expensive when it is time to change things. The IA has specific parts and there aren't a lot of affordable option to use other parts.
Steve B
on November 19, 2020
Small car, bigger inside than looks on the outside. Easily fits up to 5 people
Perfect car for someone ages 18-25 who want a comfortable and reliable car that connects with your smartphone. Great for going out with friends, average in regards to space, but the style makes up for that. Large trunk, drives well. PERFECT FOR A COLLEGE STUDENT!
Shianne S
on November 18, 2020
Get a Toyota scion IA, they are great on gas. You will not regret it!
The scion IA is a great car, it is really smooth on the road, good on gas (probably cost me like $25-$30 to fill up), & really reliable. I commute a lot to New York city to see family and for work and I only fill up my gas tank about 2-3 times a week.. Sometimes even once if I am lucky.
Ann Y
on November 11, 2020
Opinion on scions IA 2016.
I love that it's a gas saver, compact, spacious trunk, back up camera. It has more features for a basic model compared to other.Cars. It is a little noisy in the car when driving on the highways. It's not good for families. It is a bit small for a family car.
Wilma B
on November 9, 2020
If you are looking for a car hood on gas mileage this is the car for you.
I love this car. The screen for the radio and navigation is super helpful. The feature that allows you to say what to play is also nice! I hate that it does not have leather seats or heated seats. I do like that when I have a low tire that it automatically sends a signal. Overall this a really nice car and gets super good gas mileage.
Haley N

The smoothest and comfiest compact car ever!
I have yet to have any problems with my vehicle. I have been side swiped and hit in the passenger door twice and had to have it replaced and you cannot even tell. Great gas mileage. I have Bluetooth, a/c, heat, a touch screen radio, and control buttons on the steering wheel. The seats are super comfortable. It is a subcompact car but the smoothest and most comfortable ride. The car also comes with a maps feature, but it was an extra cost I decided not to do. The stock speakers are my favorite part of the whole car. I love to jam so I was worried about having to get a system that would take up space in my small car. But the stock speakers that come with the car are perfect for me.
Brianda H
on October 30, 2020
I specifically like the sport look and innovations.
I have not had any problems with the vehicle since I purchased it. It is a reliable car and gas mileage is perfect for me and my husband. It has backup camera, collision assistance, sport capability, hands free calls and comfy seating. Vehicle has great visibility.
Chris I
on October 28, 2020
Standard scion IA, how it is overall great with some key flaws.
Poorly insulated for weather and not well made exterior soundproofing. Very light and gets pushed by high velocity winds. Good and easy to use UI as well as a great sound system for the base model. Fair gas mileage and handles well. Driver and front passenger have great space even for above average height persons. While back seats are rather tight with minimal leg space.
Ron D

Scion is is rare because it is no longer a brand that they manufacture.
It is a comfortable car, the ac unit blows very nicely. We have good gas, it has a rearview camera which makes it more convenient to reverse it also has sports mode and touch screen so overall advanced technology that is beneficial to both me and my husband.
Myra H
on October 14, 2020
Car gets good gas mileage.
It was great when new about a year ago I started to it has less power in the engine. It still drives well gas mileage is great about 40 miles a gallon. The engine is louder than a year ago. The tire size is hard to find and only last about 30 thousand miles. I have to drive 60 miles to get new tires. Which is difficult at times. The tire sensors have not worked well for 3 years. But overall it has been a decent car.
Kayla S

Scion IA 2016 features and highlights.
My car has last me a great while all thanks to it is mileage and the cylinder fuels it has. It has Bluetooth and a touch screen device attached. My car also has the sports attachment so I can drive very fast. The color of it is black with black seats and a trunk with tons of space.
Elizabeth M
on September 22, 2020
Great on gas, great storage in the trunk.
A car that is good on gas but not built for a family. It is definitely more compact on the inside and does not accommodate a lot of riders however, the trunk has a decent amount of room, one could say half the cars size. The Bluetooth feature is a great addition.
JOe R

It is a cool and stylish car.
The scion IA is a reliable view for and stylish for a young person. I feel like the brake system can be a little hard to maneuver. The sleekness of the design is very nice. One thing I like is the popup controls out of the dashboard. I enjoy the way you can turn it into cruise control and how you can use the controls on the steering wheel. I really like how big the trunk is. I do not like the very front of the car. It looks a little cramped.
Gene R

Shannon T

Sporty, reliable, and bigger than it looks.
The trunk space is bigger than it looks. The gas mileage is good and the features of the car are easy to use. Acceleration isn't the quickest, but it is a good and safe car for a single person or small family.
Patrick P

Gas mileage and fuel mileage.
Car is amazing but also very small wonderful gas mileage but not something for a family of 4 of more to have because there no room for them to fit.

The scion IA review from a busy dad.
This vehicle has great gas mileage and easy to maintain personally. Oil changes can be done personally and save you a lot of money. The engine has oil and filters that allow 15000 between oil changes. The radio and electronic display is large, easy to use, and has many user controlled accessories. The inside is surprisingly room for a compact car and the only negative aspect is the width of the front seats if you have wider shoulders. The headroom is comfortable. The trunk space is rather large for a compact vehicle. If you have children, you can easily fit 3 in the back seat. The vehicle is relatively smooth on the road and the acceleration can be increased with the sport boost option button that adjusts your transmission to allow for harder shifting. The transmission also has the option to do manual shifting. Overall this vehicle is good for price, versatility and room at an affordable price.
Jenna L
on August 22, 2020
Scion is the most unique car ever made.
Gas mileage is great. Love the screen with the back up camera, settings, and navigation. It has cruise control and you can access your phone and the music from the steering wheel and the middle console. It is zippie, and has a push button starting system. Has a built in alarm system. The seats are not comfortable for long drives. The headrest does not help your neck. The headrest in the back seats are uncomfortable. The seat belts in the back seats are hard to clip. There is no armrest. The front seats you have to adjust manually.
Michael R
on August 21, 2020
Great budget car for college student or first car.
Great gas mileage. Great handling for compact non sports car. Nice pick up speed for smaller car. Not enough features. Could have a couple more trim options. Looks really sporty for budget level car. Maybe could have added options like sunroof or leather seats.
Joel B

Toyota scion Im hatchback.
Nice roomy dependable vehicle for getting around town. Great for my wife as she is small and finds it very easy for parking the hatch back makes easy for loading when she shops. Maintenance is quite reasonable which we do at the dealership. Came with two years of free maintenance which was very nice.
Brandon F

The technology interface for the radio and navigation screen.
Nothing rides great and works amazing. Love the interface and tech involved. The race mode picks up quickly and it is very smooth. The stock sound system is amazing and has amazing settings. The cloth is really durable and easy to clean and does not stain easily at all.
Vanessa R
on August 4, 2020
The scion- cost less, but performs expensive.
No problems with the scion! Very reliable car! The IA is not as heavy as the other cars in its class. Extremely great on gas! The IA does include a sport option. Sport induces a greater take off. Scion is the child to Toyota. Scion uses Toyota parts, but with a scion price.
John T
on July 31, 2020
Cool features, and luxury feel. Easy maintenance and decent gas mileage
The car has a lot of the cool features that aren't really standard, things like the rear view camera and the touch screen radio. I don't like that there isn't a CD player though... And car seat covers don't fit all that well...
Moose Raye

Great Compact Car
I love my car , it's a great compact car it gets 30 - 40 mpg. Very Comfortable, I have only had 1 issue with the car an that's the battery in the key fob dies real often ( maybe owner fault ) , although I don't buy cheap batteries for it . 1 major complaint is the tires are an oddball size I tried to get tires at Cosco nope they don't have those size tires an they can't get them either , so I tried Fire Stone they have only 3 places that they can order from that carries those size tires. Someone recommended me contacting Toyota Dealership about getting tires ( Ridiculous i have to go all over to find tires, when Apache Junction, AZ. Has tire shops on every freaking corner ). JUST SAYING !!!
Silver IA

Reliability
Bought it at 29,000 miles. Has 50g's now no problems. The transmission fluid change at 47g's. It does have a drain plug and fill hole under air intake box. Gonna change pcv valve under air intake manifold I spent $150 on gaskets order on toyotapartsdeals.com. Great college car for my daughter. This car will run forever with regular maintenance GIG'EM

Reasons why I love my car
I love the car! It's small and I don't have to spend so much money on gas to fill it up. I love that it has a back up camera and hands free radio and phone.
Sage S
on July 13, 2020
Problems for the overly tall.
I like my car a lot, there are only a few real problems starting with the fact that it is a bit smaller than your average car of its class, both front to back, and top to ground. This is a problem because I am 6’4”, however I am still able to drive quite comfortably. The problem is that I cannot have anyone behind me in the back seat, so my car size is reduced to 4 total because nothing could fit back there if I tried. I also notice it has a smaller than average tank, through the gas mileage is pretty decent, so it evens out well.
Aly G
on July 12, 2020
It saves me money on gas but is it worth the price tag.
I purchased a new 2016 Scion iA. For the price, it is not up to standards. The brakes constantly make noise. The screen monitor is no longer working. I do like that it saves me money on gas but I don't see this car lasting long.
Loretta C
on July 10, 2020
I love the color (red) with the grey interiors. It has a Bluetooth that I love
I have no problems with my car. It is great on gas and it is very reliable. The only issue I have with the car is the slow acceleration but not a big deal. I am not out to race my car anyway. If I decide to purchase another car, it will be another Scion.

Great little compact sedan!
Overall, I love my scion IA. It is the perfect small size for me, the interior is very sleek for the price and I enjoy using the touchscreen menu. It drives well, my only minor complaint is I wish it had a little more horsepower. It does not accelerate very quickly but once you get up to the right speed it keeps up just fine. Could just be that I want my scion to perform like a race car ha. I do love the sport mode option though! It uses a lot of gas but worth it if you only use every so often.
Yuri P
on May 19, 2020
It screeches whenever you hit the brakes and it is just been turned on.
Too many issues constantly, makes odd sounds, and also does not go as fast for a sports car. I have had to fix it for the past few months a minimum of three times already. The battery went dead first and then the electric has been all messed up and also had to change all of the brakes and rotors and whatnot.
Erica P

Amazing scion IA review:).
The Scion IA is a really good, reliable car. I have leased for about two years now and it's been amazing. I have not had issues with my vehicle at all (knock on wood). The seats are very comfortable and they're spill proof so if anything is spilled it comes right out. I also love the screen in this vehicle and how I can pair my phone to read all of my text messages.
Kayla J
on May 7, 2020
Toyota scion IA model is an amazing car!
My vehicle is great and has not had any problems. The performance is very reliable and runs great. The seats are cloth and very comfortable as well. This car was my first ever new car with a car payment I got and I do not regret it, it is an awesome car.

Transmission(torque converter) failure 89k
I really wanted to like this car. Owned it when it was purchased with 5 miles on the odometer. Car would hesitate and stall so badly. Dealer could not even diagnose the car for months. Never again!
MOHAMED A
on April 12, 2020
Gas mileage, no recalls, very nice dashboard
You have only one option for tires brand Toyo brand, and the front seats little bit small, if someone sit in the back seat you have to move your front seats forward. It's very good on gas about 36 miles/gallon. And the small engine 1.6 L. Which it makes it little bit hard if you live uphill.
Tina P

It is a quality vehicle.
It drives great and has great gas mileage. It does not have enough room in the back. The seats are comfortable.
Matthew A
on March 27, 2020
The gas mileage and affordable price are great.
I like that my vehicle gets good gas mileage. The price of the car was cheap for a fresh college grad looking for first starter car. I do not like that the engine is only 4 cylinder. I also do not like how small the car is at times.
Lee L
on March 14, 2020
The gas mileage is as good as some hybrids with a much lower sticker price.
It is a great car. It gets over 40 mpg. It came with many extras for less than 17,000 including a back up camera and alloy wheels. I would recommend the Scion iA to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable vehicle.
Chelsea H
on March 9, 2020
It is a small car, but that is convenient for parking! I love the back camera.
I love my car. I haven't had any major problems so far, I just need to get new tires. It is small and comfortable for me since I am short. It is reliable and I love the Bluetooth system, although sometimes it does not connect to my phone right away. I have had it for one year.

2016 scion IA review from consumer.
I have not had any problems to date. It drives nearly like a go cart and the turning radius is great. Good on gas as well. The back up camera is helpful as is the warning lights. The built in GPS and music system are a nice addition. I would recommend this car to others if interested.

167k still strong
I bought this vehicle with already 89k on it right away tuned it up and change the coolant fluid transmission fluid can’t be changed because it’s has a sealed transmission. I drive it on daily base 300 to 400 miles I work for mobile lab . It gets great gas mileage but not a lot power acceleration it’s somewhat weak if you buying this vehicle for gas mileage it’s great I average on daily driving 37-40 mpg also this vehicle not really a Scion or neither Toyota its 90% Mazda parts on it don’t let the Toyota badge fool you when you pop the hood here is the real question would I buy it again most likely not it’s under powered and paint job is very poor

Love/Hate Relationship with Scion
I the color and house move the car rides. It gets great gas mileage. But it's little things I overlooked there's no Center armrest there's no cup holders in the middle in the back the tires s**k in only one company makes them.
Hannah B
on February 11, 2020
What's wrong and what's right?
Sometimes the air conditioner messes up and no one can figure out what is wrong with it, but other than that it is a very good car. The car is comfortable and reliable and gets the job done. It does really well on long trips and despite being a smaller car, it is surprisingly roomie on the inside.
Emily B
on January 28, 2020
This car loses value very fast and has had issues since we bought it.
Had transmission issues since it was bought, got it fixed through the dealer. Then the ac went out at 65k miles and we were told we needed to pay a lot for it to be fixed at the dealership. Sometimes the display in the middle turns off, then it switches off being paired on Bluetooth. The Pandora app in the vehicle rarely ever reads on the car so you go to the app on your phone.
Jessica K
on January 26, 2020
I love the sleek look of the car. It has nice lines and nice visual appeal.
The pros for my car outweigh the cons. It is compact, good on gas, very modern, and has a sleek look. However it is small on the inside and as a new mom it has been difficult to get the car seat in and out and it is almost impossible to fit more than 2 adults in the car.
Mc C
on January 1, 2020
Great gas mileage so you save money in the long run.
I like it because it is a small car, the color is nice, Bluetooth, great gas mileage and rear camera.
Ariel S
on December 27, 2019
Overall I love this car, pros def outweighs the cons
Love my scion. Very sporty and clean sleek interior. Gas mpg is great, and due to the compact size I can legally park just about anywhere! However, acceleration in sport mode is VERY shifty. The stock shocks are weak, you can feel EVERY pebble on the road
Mont T
on December 19, 2019
Easy to handle; good for first time car buyers.
First and foremost, the car was bought used. It has some problems with squeaky brakes when you first start it off but the braking system is very reliable. The rear view camera is also extremely helpful and accurate. It handles high speeds well but has some difficulty building up to it. Very comfortable overall.

It rides extremely smooth and fast.Getting gas is easy because it's cheap
I like that I have Bluetooth. I love that it's good on gas I hate that Bluetooth doesn't let me change the song

Most important thing about my car is how great it is on gas!
Perfect size for me. Not too big, not too small. I love the touch screen radio and it connects very easy to Bluetooth. Also great on gas, get about 39 miles per gallon!!

Too many small annoyances
I like that is has a backup camera. The cup holders are in an awkward position. I don't like the way the seat belt lays across me; I constantly have to adjust it because it cuts into my neck. I don't where the back-up camera is positioned, it doesn't leave room for a GPS on the dash. I can't keep my Bluetooth connected for some reason (could be my error more than anything.)

Amazing, Reliable, Awesome Car
It is very reliable and has gave me a sense of calm that my old car didn't. I have had it for 3 years, and I have only had to change tires once, regular oil changes, and alignments. I drive a lot as well, so this car is sturdy and drives amazing. I love the look of the car as well. The interior is super nice and easy to take care of.

I really love how far I can go without filling up my car.
It is very reliable and has really good miles per gallon. I love that it has a more simple design, while still having all of the things I need. The car isn't very comfortable for long drives, especially for bigger people, but it definitely is a good starter car, for a daily driver.

Small car with Big Features.
I love The Scion 2016 IA. Although I wasn't excited about the color. I did my research. This car has excellent gas mileage and is very reliable. The front seats are roomy and spacious. However back seat does not give much leg room. Truck is spacious. The fosgate sound system is amazing. I love listening to music with my sunroof open.

Compact, spacious comfort
The scion ia is a comfortable, compact car that gets you where you need to go. It has great gas mileage, a lot of trunk space and comfortably fits 5 people with plenty of legroom.

Great on gas, great car overall.
2016 Scion IA is a very nice car to have. I drive it to work everyday and it's very smooth, fun, and it's honestly great on gas. The biggest problem I've faced with the car is dealing with the radio/internet. It tends to freeze every now and again and you'll have to reboot it. But overall it's a very great car to have.

Reliable car but a bit small.
The scion IA has been a very reliable car. It has the braking system in case I get too close to cars in front which has helped me out on a few occasions. It does not use up too much gas - I typically fill up once a week for around $25 - $30 depending on the price of gas. It has a touch screen to play music and it also has a Bluetooth hook up. The car itself is a bit small - as the driver I do not mind but passengers may feel a bit tight if they're taller than 5'3', especially in the back seat. The truck is spacious and the back seats do fold forward which is helpful for packing.

It is the first car that I bought.
Good on gas, small, low maintenance, no problems. It has nice dark interior, bucket seats, is clean, comfy, and luxurious. It has a camera for reversing as well.

My car has a black interior which shows dirt pretty easily
It is very dependable, but a little small. It also has very good gas mileage, and drives very well

The Bluetooth frequently cuts out and is unable to connect.
The passenger door handle has broken multiple times. From not opening to not closing. The seat belts have also locked on occasions and not been able to pull down to buckle. This car goes through brakes worse than any car I have ever had before. Great on gas though.

The great gas mileage we get with it, it is saving us money
I love how it looks and the gas mileage we get. I love how comfortable it is. I never had such a newer car before.

It's fun and simple, and a great price. I still can't believe how far I can go on one tank!
Cool tech inside, super fuel efficient and surprisingly roomy for such a small car

There is a tradeoff for good gas mileage. If you want gas mileage above 40 mpg consistently you need to accept you'll be shaking on the highway.
My biggest complaint for my car is how light it is when driving through the flat midwest and driving faster than 70 mph (the car starts to shake and is very loud). It has great gas mileage which makes up for the weight for the most part. It has a small but sleek interior and was a great starter car as my first new car purchase.

34. 5 miles per gallon and extremely reliable.
The only real issue I have had with my scion would have to be that the tires are rare. When the time came that I needed new tires I couldn't afford the 800 odd dollars the dealership quoted me and when I called Walmart they were $200 a piece because they had to be shipped. Other than that everything's great, I get 34. 5 miles per gallon, it has good handling and is a really good car for college kids commuting back and forth because not only is it affordable but it is extremely reliable.

The coolest thing is definitely the touchscreen monitor.
I have yet to have any issues with this car. Honestly, it is the biggest upgrade I have ever been able to afford for a car, and it is been awesome. It has a huge touch screen monitor in the middle, and something that is a little different about it is that it has the controls for the radio in the center near the cupholders, and it actually works quite nicely. I just got the tires rotated and balanced and it drives really well.

Great car for beginners who do not need too much air conditioning.
This car is a really great option for new drivers. The back camera was great when learning to back out of driveways or parallel park. One downside would be the small air vents in the front of the car, but other than that I have really enjoyed driving this car.

It is a great car that I will have for many years.
I love that in a city with so much traffic and hardly any parking space, this compact car is small enough to maneuver and fit into tight spots, but big enough to actually be a car. It runs perfect, its reliable, and I love the features inside. From the Bluetooth to the GPS screen, it has what's needed to get around and enjoy driving.

I really do not like my car size and the way the seat belt cuts across me.
Too small, air vents are round and difficult to adjust, seat belt crosses over awkwardly and moves up to the neck and will not stay across the shoulder. Most of the things I dislike are cosmetic. It drives fine and has good gas mileage. The trunk is a decent size. The.

Huge lemon do not buy
I am already into this vehicle for almost 5k in maintenance with only 68k in mileage. Infotainment system is now broken and they won’t cover it. Rotors rotted twice and they don’t make aftermarket parts so you have to buy them from the dealership. I had a spark plug failure at 34k dealership said they couldn’t get the error to happen again. Now my check engine light comes on and off with the same error code. I had a 98 Volvo 850 with 350k that ran better and was cheaper to maintain. What an idiot I am for buying this stupid car. Don’t be like me. If you’re looking for a cheap no frills reliable commuting machine buy a corolla instead.
