I love my scion I am because of the hatch back.

I love my scion I am. It is super convenient with the hatchback and it is comfortable. It is fun to drive with the 'sport' mode, but I also love that it lets me know when I am being environmentally savvy with the 'eco' light. My minor complaints: it can be noisy, the Bluetooth stereo does not always work very well, and it is small in the back seat.

My car is great on gas and has a very smooth ride!

I love that it is good on gas. No problems with it, i keep up on maintenance and it is very inexpensive to keep up. I have always had family mobiles such as minivans and i love my little car!

Mariana G

Amazing car, lots of space and legroom.

This car is extremely reliable. Got this car as my first car and I would not have changed it for anything. Does not require too much gas, and does not waste it rapidly. One thing I love about this car is the sport mode. Casually clicking sport mode while on long trips to get that extra little zoom. The size is also perfect. It may look small, but the inside fits 4 people comfortably with lots of leg space.

My comfortable, reliable scion.

I really like my scion. I like a small car. It drives well and looks nice. I like the color red and I have always liked hatchbacks. It has plenty of get up and go for me. I have not had any problems at all with the vehicle. It is very reliable and comfortable.

The scion I am and how it is a good car.

The scion I am is a great reliable and affordable vehicle with great gas mileage. 4 years in and I still have not had a single issue with this vehicle whatsoever. In fact the only problem that I have with it are the tires are quite expensive and the vehicle is so low to the ground that even a bump can damage the vehicle.

Beatrice B

Comfort and gas efficient.

Car is very comfortable and reliable. Does not consume much gas unless it's on sports mode. Very practical for parking. Perfect for my needs. Spacious and very accommodating. Hatchback model. Requires maintenance often. Never had issues. On sports mode very fast if need be.. Message screen very informative.

Pauline G

Scion Im review from mom point of view

No power, being a 4 cylinder, however does have a power booster/sport mode that does add a bit more power. Small backseat for car seat, growing child and grown adults to sit comfortably. Cup holders are not big enough for two drinks to fit next to each other.

Finn E

That my car is made by scion.

The color is kinda coming off the top of the bumper, also it the brakes are not as great as I want them to be.

Shannon R

If you need just a car, it's a good bang for your buck.

It's a lease and I really can't complain about anything. It's a cool looking car but it's just too slow. I am glad I leased the car and not purchased.

Denise B

It is a good car for family and fun to drive long distance in.

I like that it is a good size for my family. It gets decent gas mileage. I also like that it is comfortable to drive.

Katherine M

That it is a Saturn and is more fuel efficient in the city

I like my Saturn but you didn't have an option for me to pick that.

Carri H

Versatile with slew of features.

Cons: slow to accelerate, crowded back seat space, no auto door locks. Pros: dual air conditioning, Bluetooth, rear camera, rims,

Ally S

It is black, drives really nice

It works really well for me and I like the way it rides. It is nice to drive and it feels nice. Even though scion does not really make cars anymore and is not much in business I do really like their cars and I really love this car a lot. I would recommend to anyone that I know to get one of these but it will probably have to be used

Molly J

Good little car, cheap, but do not expect a lot of power.

Great mileage, compact, easy to drive, and reliable. The issues include ac vent issues where they work intermittently and no pickup on the accelerator. The pickup is a big issue when trying to accelerate to Cross Lanes in traffic and it becomes dangerous.

Zippy fun drive with great gas mileage.

This car is easy to drive, it has a comfortable cabin, and it is great on gas. We have been on many trips with this car and it was plenty roomy for all our gear. The passenger seats in the back are spacious enough for tall people., with plenty of head and leg room.

Pros from Owners

Alex L.

My car scion I am is small but it is spacey inside. Its gas mileage is superb, average 32 miles per gallon streets and highways combined. Beside, I am highly recommend this car due to its reliability. I have drive it for 6 years in total confidence it will start and run. It is also quite affordable to do maintenance.

Cons from Owners

Alex L.

Materials to make this car is quite cheap. The outside looks sporty but all plastic. If you bump into something, the scratches will show quite obviously. It is low clearance due to its sporty design. My area has instant floods quite often so it is something to consider and be cautious about.
