My Toyota IQ

[Iq owner]

Here is my car Toyota IQ
I have had it from February,I bought it secondhand and I have been very pleased with it.
It has the 1 litre engine and a whopping 67 bhp but it is a great engine for town driving and on the motorway you sometimes have to drop a gear.
I pay no road tax hopefully low insurance
It has a 5 year warranty.
It is very deceptive the size because I am 6ft 2 and it feels very much like a larger car inside.
It is well equipped full climate control,dusk-sensing lights,rain sensitive wipers,traction control,9 airbags.

It is a fun car and I do alot of urban driving mostly because I get free rail travel with my job.

I am saving alot of money on fuel and running costs.

I realise it may be everyones cup of tea but it is great little car.

I really like the IQ as a city car.

Alright is that, cheap to run.

These are great little city cars and feel very refined. Mine is going in 3 weeks after 30 months and 25k trouble free miles. You soon get used to the keyless entry/go, auto lights/wipers etc. The climate control is also the best i've experienced in any car - really powerful.

I am very pleased with mine and the running costs are good.
Mine has a 5 year warranty and I have gone for Toyota service plan
I do alot of urban driving so my MPG it currently running at 47.7
I like all the Giszmos and you are right climate control is very effective.
I saved some money by buying seconhand because some reviwers have said the intial price is high but it is premium product.
It drives very well and sometimes you forget you are in small car.

My wife has one that i have been abusing whilst the CAppuccino is having its 4th engine rebuild....dont ask and since i have had it the first months i REALLY ragged the hell out of it! and now its gone from averaging 46mpg to averaging 55mpg by me freeing it up abit :P

I love it the car really comes alive from 4.5k-6k with the VVTI on the 3cyl 1 liter and has no problem returning 45mpg sat at 80mph everywhere with the aircon on

45mpg seems abit low for a car so small IMO

[Trustmeimadoctor]

For town/short trips use only it seems alright to me.

My Mpg it getting better every time I fill it up.
I am still very pleased with mine.
I sat in a smart at Mercedes World and I found it quite small inside compared to the IQ.

What I don't understand about the IQ is; after test driving the aygo and an IQ back to back the aygo seemed to have more pep, better handling and more space at about 4k each. In case you had incredibly odd parking requirements and needed a car a foot shorter i just don't understand why you'd buy an IQ?

Looks good I think if we were ever in need for a small city car we would definitely look at one these especially after the disappointment of the Smart ForTwo. A friend said he recently drove a 1.4 D4D and it went exceptionally well
