Went to buy a Scion IQ Today... - Toyota Yaris Forums

So i visited the dealer with the intent to purchase a Scion IQ. They had one that was already sold but let me take it out. I must say its a nice little car. The turning radius is amazing. And there is quite a bit of room in the engine bay.

We sit down at the table and go over the color... and features... and only then i realize that its only CVT! There is no 5 or 6 speed option. So it was a deal breaker but she did say that they do plan on releasing a manual soon. I am hoping by the end of the year.

CVT is all your gonna get for now and unless this car takes off in sales a manual might not come at all. i got to drive this car last weekend and all i can say is i LIKE the attention the car gets BUT it can't get out of its own way which is a

Love the one I drove yesterday. Going to drive it some more for testing and to take a lot of pictures. I just might have to buy one myself.
