Looks like there's a lot of new technology hidden under the skin of this thing too!

If only I had both of the cars I drive now paid off I would get one, oh well I'll just have to envy who ever else gets one that I know.

I'll have to start saving my pennies. The blokes in the UK seem to complain about the car's high price. Not sure what they expect since the car has all the safety kit ( and more) of a larger vehicle.

In my view, this car could a more true heir of the iconic Mini than even the new MINI which (compared w/ the classic) has become overpowered, over styled, over complicated, over priced and over....well, big. Ironic, isn't it??

That said, I think the same of my Yaris, and I must say I do enjoy having some trunk space. Believe it or not, I do use a full back seat now and again, too, but for the most part, the iQ 3-seat arrangement would work fine for me.

I really like it. It's great to finally see what the 3 + 1 seating is all about, too.

Before seeing this video, I've only read descriptions and looked at photos about the seating arrangement. It's nice to see a video showing how the 3+1 seating works.
