No, the white one was a tool for taxi work. My prized one is my black one that I bought brand new. I'll die in that car hahaha.

As for the iQ, it feels slower due to the cvt transmission and big dumb heavy 16" steel wheels but it handles being thrown around busy city streets better, although with a harsher more firm ride. But it's so damn quirky, i probably like it way more than I should. It makes me really wish that it wasn't so decontented for the US market though, just like the Yaris itself.

Ah got it. 16!!?? Haha that seems outrages. CVT is kind of weird. I've been driving a RAV4 rental for my roadtrip with my parents. I like that the "manual" shifts go into the higher gears unlike on the yaris (mine at least) but it doesn't feel like it does when I use it on my Yaris. Still not a bad ride. I like it quite a bit, but been scraping 33MPG being careful so far.
