What ur1stcar say about this car
The good bits
It's small and very clever. It'll be economical, cheap to run and of course reliable. Easy to park too.
It's nippy and the ride's pretty good for such a short car.
The not so good bits
The '3+1' seating (3 adults + 1 smalladult/child) is still cosy - fill up all the seats and there's no boot space.
Over-the-shoulder visibility, at junctions for example, is poor due to the wide B-pillars.
The interior trim is low-rent for a Toyota - it makes the SMART look almost luxurious.
General description
Toyota's big, small '3+1' seater car - It's smaller than an Aygo but cost considerably more.
They've employed a clever gearbox arrangement to get the front wheels as far forward as possible, position the front passengers as far forward as possible and so make some space for 2 rear seats in a similar overall length to the SMART ForTwo.
Things to look for when buying one
Be careful to buy one for the right reasons - there are very good cars for 2/3rds the price of the iQ.
If you're buying second-hand, make sure it's had the new accelerator pedal fitted following the recent recall.
