Toyota IQ (2009 - 2014) 1.0 VVT-i 3d Owner Review

This quirky little car is ideal for the task it was designed for - nipping in and out of towns and cities. I purchased it new in December 2011 after viewing two or three city cars capable of carrying both myself my dog and a small amount of baggage. This car, although short has the width of a conventional vehicle which gives it a roomier feel than other city cars. The rear seats have never been sat on. I use it to transport a mower and an assortment of garden tools between three houses. I feel quite safe when driving the car even though it is so small, due to the combination of all round disc brakes and numerous air bags situated around the car. Although it is only 1. 0lt and underpowered, being a manual you can use the gearbox to its best effect. At present I own the Toyota iq and a Porsche, having owned many vehicles over the past 50 years the Toyota is the one I will never sell.
