I mean design wise. I haven't seen and sit in Yaris yet, but I did in iQ. A Toyota dealer near my house happen to have one sitting next to the new Prius C. Both are great efficient cars.

ive sat in an iQ at the autoshow and it felt very weird sitting in it, the angles and position of pretty much everything inside of it felt odd.

like strapping a regular chair to a go-kart and extending the wheel. It's almost like you driving on top of the car, not from within it.

The only reason I would get a Scion IQ is if me and my friends had money to use them to play football/soccer.

I feel like it wouldn't take me that long to have this little car flipped over a few times.

Actually a lot of ppl like iQ. It's good for what's made to do. Nothing fancy, big, power or anything, but simple & clean. I've drove iQ (Toyota iQ not SCION iQ) & gotta say, it was pretty good car (to drive in Japanese roads).

car football looks amazing.

the iQ is a good little car, its like driving a go-kart, it was pretty fun being able to zip around and maneuver in such small spaces. was a little weird driving a car with a CVT, a car with the same thing as my moped, lol.
(similar to the BRZ/86/FR-S) it is nearly perfect for what it is meant to do. If it came with a manual and maybe was a little cheaper, that would make it perfect. but then they would probably have to cheapen the interior, which is really nice, except for them molding SCION all over the place it is almost identical then what it has as a toyota.

and about rolling it over, the dealers are prepped to make sure people watch where curbs are so they don't clip them and end up toppled! lol

The Ford Fiesta And Veloster both get better hwy mpg than the iq and they're much larger.

They're also around the same price.

I'd rock the shit out of that for a city car, if I lived in the city.

I got to drive an iQ with the TRD lowering springs, sway bars and the 16" alloys, and I've gotta say, that car put a smile on my face. Makes a great little runabout if you live in the city.
