I bet that's a real advantage with a wheelbase about 20 inches shorter.
Do you mind if I ask what transmission you got with yours? I only saw CVT as the base option.

Readily available. I thought it would be hard to get a Hot Lava(orange) since it's the one they used in the commercials and as expecting it to be in high demand like the bayou blue hatch were but nope, only took me a week to get one. There's a dealership that I pass by everyday and they seem to have the same iQs on display since they first came out months ago. There's a big push for the iQs, free Playstation Vita til July and it looks like there's more supply than demand.

Scion only released a base model for the iQ here in the US. So yes, I have a 1.3 CVT. It also gets less HP than the Yaris

...but it's also lighter.

Observe:

Scion IQ Curb Weight: 1896
Scion 1.3 Horsepower: 93

20.30 pounds per horsepower.

Yaris Curb Weight: 2293
Yaris 1.5 Horsepower: 106

21.63 pounds per horsepower

You have 6% less weight per horsepower.
