Who will get the Scion iQ?
I'm curious to see how many people are going to be getting the Scion iQ when it finally hits our shores this year, either as a trade in or accompanying car. I've been eagerly awaiting its arrival until I noticed a few things with the US model:

The higher price is (in Europe at least) backed up by better equipment than the Yaris. The iQ is not offered in basic level so even the cheapest ones get 15'' alloys, tinted glass, A/C, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, leather shifter, remote central locking, electric windows, MP3/CD audio w/ 6 speakers and AUX in, heated seats, 50/50 rear seat and traction control- most of which is not standard on the Yaris. As for fuel consumption, mileage for the iQ is 20% better than for a Yaris with the same engine. |

We are reading everything we can find about the IQ... the smaller exterior dimensions & 1.3 L/CVT seem to be exactly what we will be looking for.
Our Colorado will be paid off in 10 more payments... I will never finance for 72 months again. We have found the 4x4 CC to be very dependable (oil changes, brake pads & shoes, TB cleanings... all DIY with Coloradofans.com assistance) & intend on keeping it as a second driver for the 3 months of snow we get. As a homeowner... the utility of a pickup is nice to have at times also. At that time we will look at the IQ and Yaris to see which makes more sense for us as a primary driver. The decision between IQ, Yaris, & certified Yaris will ultimately be the bottom line. Like I said, I do not want to finance for 72 months again... will stick to 36-48 months as a limit. |

Let's see:
- MORE expensive - LESS power - LESS space - NO manual Hmmmm... probably stick with my paid for used Yaris. Nice car but not really worth upgrading.

Seems like that'd be like "upgading" from an Avalon to a Corolla...

... well yeah. Upgrading in terms of newer and more "premium" I guess. In every other sense I suppose it is a downgrade.

What do you mean the Yaris is too big? what size is right for you? A bicycle?

Wheels at the corner and a smaller turning radius are also attractive iQ features...I'm looking forward to a test drive. |
