On paper, sure.

A car that small NEEDS a manual to keep me from going insane driving it every day.

I worked for Smart for awhile and we knew this car was going to tear us apart. Even Smart's have a large aftermarket following and can be a lot of fun to drive I am sure the scion will have even more and be made to look even cooler.

Heck the Brabus Smart is pretty slick looking with its staggered wheels and center exhaust tips.

I loved my smart, but I had to get rid of it when the local dealership closed and I could no longer get warranty work (or any work) done on it.

I'm sure the iQ is an equally good city car. I would seriously consider getting one if I was still commutiing daily.
