2013 Scion iQ consumer reviews

I enjoy driving this little car, takes care of my basic transportation needs. No problems, have regular service, needs a decent overhead light and a better glove box; currently under the passenger seat and diffictlt to access for a short person. I am still getting interested comments from men after six years of driving this little care after retirement. Has been a fun car, the boxy built has been an asset in carrying all types o f objects. I understand they are no longer making this car in the future, I hope to keep it as long as it provides good basic service.

Perfect for long trips or just running around town. GREAT gas mileage and AC. Great safety rating... not good on bumpy roads. I really enjoy driving it.

This car is perfect to find parking in the city of Los Angeles, it is also very economic on gas. The only thing is that inside it doesn?t have a glove compartment, the light is very simple. But other than that I?m happy with it because now I can park pretty much anywhere in LA.

The Scion IQ was meant to be a city car whose small design would fit anywhere and ease through city traffic. Much like a smart car but with a back seat. I, however, drove it everywhere and back. Sometimes with every seatbelt in use. I never had one single problem with the car outside of general maintenance. The exterior and interior design was eye catching yet simple of enough to keep me excited while owning it. It also sparked many conversations when at the pump or the store. Everybody loved it. The IQ has the cute factor that the beetle did back in the 60s. Mine was fully loaded with the pioneer audio system, spoiler, and changeable interior illumination (which was my personal favorite feature). I sold my car to my partner who is also loving the car. The only reason I got rid of it was because I wanted something I could Uber in (a 4-door) during the week when I?m off and something with cruise control (which can be installed aftermarket on the IQ). This car is a great value and an eye catcher, and I?d recommend it to anyone.

Great on gas good for commuting and very responsive. You can literally park just about anywhere and it's turning radius is awesome. Its very stylish and can't be happier!

Plenty of zip for metro traffic. It's made ultimately by Toyota, so it's been very reliable. The car is lightweight and front wheel drive.

I bought my 2013 Scion IQ new, in Jan. 13. I currently have about 9000 miles on the odometer and, I thought I'd share my experience so far. Since it's just me and my wife, we were looking at a non hybrid car with very good fuel economy ratings and the IQ has certainly fit the bill. We've been averaging around 36 mpg around town. We use the car on an almost daily basis for running errands, day trips etc. While we normally leave the rear seats folded down for more cargo capacity, we have had an adult passenger in the rear and she was quite pleased with the amount of room back there. Like any short wheelbase car, the IQ is choppy on rough surfaces but otherwise I find the ride and handling pretty good. The base sound system is terrific and only at higher speeds is road noise noticeable. While most efficient on urban streets, the IQ does OK on the interstates for short jaunts of say 100 miles or so. While it takes it's time getting up to freeway speeds, the car is stable at the 65-70 mph range. Above that, I'd recommend a bigger car. The car comes with all the standard features you would want in a car and as long as you consider what the IQ was designed for I think you will be pleased with it.

Hi everyone. If your looking or a micro car that has some power, this is it. I can easily get onto the highway and it feels tight. Very little sway when a car passes on freeway. It is a great choice. I love my 2013 IQ. I test drove te Smart before the IQ and wanted to love Smart, I am a Mercedes boy after all. Very disappointing. No power and when a Ford Focus pasted me on freeway, I thought it would through me off the road. Very very disappointed in Smart. Take them both for a test ride to pick what you like. :)

I have owned the 2012 scion IQ since last Aug, 2012. It has given me so much headache on the gas miliage. Average 7.8 at winter so if you want to save gas then don't use heater and defrost. Also, this car is having problem it's vaberting when the car is running around low speed of 30 - 40 km/h.
