Scion iq is reliable and comfortable. It is more spacious than you would expect. The base model trim is not flashy, but functional. The only feature it does not have that I miss is cruise control. Good on gas mileage and always easy to find a parking spot.

The scion iq is a good buy!
I have had no problems with the performance or reliability. In the entire time I have owned the car I have not had to do any repairs. The only thing I do not like is that it does not fit 3 people comfortably but I love how easy it is to park so that makes up for it.

Smart car with back seats.
Never had a problem with this vehicle, always reliable, has great gas mileage in city. Lightweight and small, easy for city driving & small spot parking. Features inside lights, USB ports, back window wipers. Two door hatchback with two back seats that can be put down for shopping trips.

Small but mighty vehicle!
Really great gas mileage. Roomier than one might expect. It is a good vehicle to get to and from work or to run short errands but I wouldn't drive it on a major highway or use it for longer road trips. But for where we live and for our use, it is a perfect vehicle. We can even fit our 3 year old son’s car seat in the back seat and get a week’s worth of groceries to fit in the vehicle too. Toyota makes this vehicle and it is very reliable and well made.

It is extremely compact, so it doesn't fit four people very comfortably.
It is compact, which is good and bad. The sound system is great. The air conditioning is great. It doesn't fit four people very comfortably.

Great gas mileage, 31 airbags and just all over amazing!
This sucker is awesome! Great gas mileage (almost 40 mpg), 13 air bags, small turning radius, comfortable, Bluetooth built in, USB port, and so much more! I don't know what I would do without it! This has been the most amazing little car I have owned. If anything ever happens to it, I would totally get another one!

Great car, expensive parts.
Great car with great mileage. Only problem is that the parts needed for repairs are hard to come by and this very expensive. Otherwise it is a great car. I can easily fit everything I need into it and still have room for more. The size is deceiving. It is great.

So safe 13 airbags
I love this car and have even gone on a camping trip with my grown daughter, dog, and all the gear. It is amazing in the snow.

An interesting detail in my car is the amount of cup holders (7).
It is the perfect size! It is small in the outside, but doing in the inside. Sad it does not have a glove department and a little department between the seats though. It is also great on gas! Very useful for a college student that drives everywhere. Great for parking in tight spaces and driving in the freeway.

Scion iq is a small fun little car.
It's a very small slow commuter car. Plenty of room in the front seats. Backseat is almost not usable. Very reliable. Good on gas mileage but has a very small gas tank. Plenty safe as it has a lot of air bags and very low risk of rollovers. High oil change intervals. No spare tire. Fairly easy to modify if you are into that.

Do not underestimate the size of the IQ.
We went on a cross country road trip from Indiana to California in January. It handled the Colorado mountains like a champ. This little car is AMAZING. It can take a beating with no problems at all. We've even hauled 8' long lumber in it. I would recommend this car to just about anyone. It is reliable and FUN!

Small and fuel efficient hatchback.
It is really reliable and fuel efficient. It fits into almost any parking spot but it feels spacious when you are on the inside. The rear seat fold down easily for lots of storage space and when the seats are upright, you can for two people in the back of a car seat.

2012 scion iq summer it's great
Needs to be a lot faster. Interior is nice very spacious, and roomy even for a small car it's a very small car on the outside but on the inside its big. Great on gas mileage. Fifteen dollars to fill it up. Doesn't have rims it has regular steely rims..

Although my vehicle is small it runs amazing has a powerful engine.
It is a three door compact car, hatchback. Small gas tank but gas efficient. It has a powerful motor, it has high star crash test rating. It is spacious on the inside, little to no mechanical problems. Good steering. Easy to maintain. Sterling performance is great.

The Scion iQ a smart choice and makes Mother Nature's smile.
The Scion iQ is a well-made vehicle. The gas mileage is outstanding and it is comfortable for two people. Acceptable for 3. The only complaints I have is that it does not come with cruise control, interior lighting could be better and the gas tank could be a smidge bigger.

Scion IQ, tiny, sleek, and comfortable
Though small it feels large on the inside. Excellent gas mileage and smooth rides. I love the turn radius and how easy it is to maneuver. I don't really like the fact that my glove compartment is a bucket under the passenger seat but in terms of making space for the back seats I understand it's necessity. The car is very sturdy and feels like I'm safe inside of it. The car does have an odd blind spot on the left side that makes it a bit hard to change lanes if you don't know where to look to see there but visibility is overall great.
I love this little car, bought mine used year ago and have enjoyed driving it to work, shopping (great hatchback and totally flat cargo area with rear seats folded down). Parking is a breeze, turning radius the best of any car I’ve ever owned and fuel efficiency at close to or over 40 mpg in city driving saves a lot of money. I fill up the tiny tank about every other week for maybe $20. Can’t beat that unless you’re in a hybrid or full electric auto. Very pleased and would definitely buy one again. Toyota should bring this model back, its a delight!

It's not as small inside as you would think. People walk over to it and shake their heads.
I can park (fit) anywhere. Roomy inside. Love the color. Great in the snow with snow tires.

It is so compact that it is easy to get in and out of parking places.
I love my car. It has several airbags for safety. I do not like that my phone will not connect to the radio. It has more room in the vehicle than most people would think. It drives good. It has broke 2 belts in 5 years. The only thing that I have had to do is replace belts and normal tire and oil change.

There is a lot more room in the car than most people would expect there to be.
The scion qi is small, but inside feels like there is a lot more room than expected. It is very comfortable, and even great for long road trips. It is extremely fuel efficient and performs well. The scion qi is a car that I would recommend to anyone looking for something fuel efficient and cozy.

It is not built for "highway" driving. It is designed as a city car.
My vehicle is too small, and seems to develop a lot or carbon build up, which causes it to lose power and run rough.

Great compact car- bests Smart car in every way
Fun car to drive! We considered a Smart car (test drove 3), but enjoyed the extra room and driving comfort of the IQ. I get lots of compliments on the looks of the car......and since I am six foot three, three hundred pounds, everybody laughs when I get out of the car, and can't believe I can fit in there. In reality, two of me could fit comfortably in the front. As other reviews have noted, this is definitely not a car for three adults. I took the rear seat out, and installed a carpeted plywood deck in to increase cargo capacity. The IQ will outmaneuver a Smart car..... The ease of parking is unreal. It is a little loud on rough surfaced roads....you will hear a lot of tire noise. Air conditioning and sound system are great. I put an aftermarket cruise on mine, that works perfectly. It is annoying that the interior light is weak , especially with a black interior. I plan to put a larger one in the front, and one in the rear hatch area. Maybe battery powered in the back? Although the car feels sluggish from 0 to 20, I never have any trouble accelerating into freeway traffic. I have driven it in the mountains,and it performs well.The Bluetooth has failed, and even following stereo system instructions, cannot get it to re-establish contact with my phone or my wife's phone. On occasion, it goes into limp mode which can be very annoying, but I quickly put the car in neutral, turn the ignition off, restart the engine, and put it back in Drive, and that fixes it. I have done this procedure even on the freeway several times. It is a little unnerving when you are pulling out into traffic and it decides to do this. This would not keep me from buying an IQ. I plan on buying another one after I have put over 200,000 miles on this one, if I can find a lower mileage one. Enjoy the car!

Scion IQ: The car for the space-conscious, but not for the family
The Scion IQ is a car designed for a specific person- small, easy to drive, but not really useful for the average driver (try fitting your groceries with 2 kids inside!), the Scion is mostly useful for traveling to and from work. Doing other things, like long drives for vacations, or chores, really isn't the best with this car. But for commuting, this car is great!

It is a car that people should always look for when they are driving, just because they're using a truck doesn't mean that they have to disregard me and my car while I'm driving.
My vehicle is small and compact, but fast. I'd like it better if other drivers respected me on the road. I'd like it better if I wasn't always getting cut off because of how small it is. I like that it is fuel efficient.

Small. Fits everywhere. Great turning radius. Driver/passenger area is big.
It goes from 0 - 60 in over a minute. Putt-putt car. No spare tire. No back seat. No glove compartment.

Great seats and love the air conditioner
I personally like my scion because it's reliable. It's gets me too and fro. The handling on my steering wheel is a bit iffy after 150,000 miles. But other than that it has been great. Good gas mileage. I live in the country so it's good for me because it goes a good distance on one tank

Why I love my small car. =).
I love the fact that I do not have to put in as much money to fill up the tank. I get great gas mileage. Seats are comfortable. I love the simple yet sleek look of the car itself. The grey color is pleasant to the eye. Able to drive longer distances without having to worry about car breaking down on me in the middle of the road.

Why my scion iq is the best car I have ever owned.
It is small but comfortable. It has Bluetooth capabilities and radio. It has eco fuel mode and is wonderful on gas. It only took me less than a full tank of gas to take a two and a half hour trip. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for something small and efficient.

That my car is awesome and is very cute and easy to drive. Saves gas too.
I like it because it is easy to park with my small car. What I do not like is it won't fit more people that a normal car has.

My car is more awesome than yours.
My car is very reliable, comfortable, and roomy. It is a 4 cylinder. It has a back seat that lets down. No spare tire. Cell phone will not hook up to radio. It has a cigarette lighter and USB port. It also has an audio jack. Radio has a CD player, am, FM, and can connect to mp3 players.

What I do not like about my scion iq.
Spark plugs are not the best, acceleration could be better definitely. The only other thing I do not like about my car is the fact that Does not have a lot of room to haul things around. I have two dogs and I would really like for there to be more room for the two of them.

It's larger on the inside and turns comfortably, despite what they reviews say.
I love It's gas mileage and cuteness. But If I need to transport more than 2 people it sucks.
