Any Yaris Owners Thinking Of Moving To The Scion IQ?

[johnstevens]

I'm curious about it myself. Thoughts?

[JumpmanYaris]

No

[Thirty-Nine]

I wouldn't consider it unless they offer a version with the manual transmission.

Lmao, this was covered a while ago and it's funny, the original thread everyone was, 'yes' and 'maybe'. Now everyone is 'no' and 'def. not'.
I myself, could not justify paying more for some different badges and a better sound system......

So price the big sticking point? Not bad reviews?

If I didn't already have the Yaris, I would seriously have considered the IQ. I haven't seen one on the road here yet, but saw loads of them in Europe. It would be nice for the IQ to get the respect from Toyota over here that it gets in Europe.

I regularly get emails from the Toyota dealer that I visited in Paris, and this morning's had a link to some of the cool packages that are offered on the IQ over there (like the City Racer edition):

Everyone gets cool packages except us.

I would, if it wasn't priced as much as a 2012 Yaris...

I was all set to pick one up, but now I think we will pick up an FR-S as a shop project car.

For another $7000 more (estimated), you get a RWD, 6 speed, 200bhp car :)

I'll probably go after the FR-S after a year.

No. I love my Yaris as a DD. She and I are gonna be an item for a while.

guess what showed up in texas.




-wheel wells look to big for the cheap steel rims. would need 16x8's with 215/40/16 to fill them up.
-the stereo is put in a plastic box above the dash which is good for gps but it looks tempting for crackheads to just break that whole section of the dash off to steal the radio.
-price with cvt is $17k+ . gulf states toyota, the distributor out of houston added $900 to the sticker with bullsh!t like undercoating, rustproofing, and pinstriping.
-silver isn't its best color.

I second the opinion that its not worth it without a manual transmission. with a stick i still wouldn't pay more than $14k for one..

[MadMax]

Wow, saw them in Europe but didn't remember how small they really are!

But my opinion remains that there's no way I'd get one.

Cheers! M2

Finally starting to arrive in the US, and it's only a few years old elsewhere.

Yeah, Toyota is delusional with the IQ's pricing. The price of a Corolla, really?

Problem is, the IQ's tech (architecturally) costs big bucks making the price disproportional to its size.

Would make a great toy, but not much more.

[TOUGEghost]

Wow, it looks pretty awful in a real world photo.

[Hershey]

Not us .

[junorico24]

I would have to pass.Looks like it has been chopped.I love my Veedub because it's full of character.So does


the IQ in a weird funny kind of way.

[Yury]

no way it can be as practical as a yaris hatch, so it's a no. Yaris, as small as it is, actually works as a family car for us and we have 2 small kids.

IQ barely fits 1 kid with a car seat and there's NO WAY your gonna get a stroller in there on top of that. IQ is out of the question and a new yaris is also not in my future having 2 kids....
