Toyota IQ (2009 - 2014) 1.0 VVT-i 2 3d (2009/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

My job entails energy management and being greener for the planet and I think this car is my eco warrior chariot. My wife just feels truly funky when driving it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Very positive from people of all ages. Albeit a few wouldn't swap a C Class Merc to one of these like I did.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Too early to say, but right now I wouldn't see why not.

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

We had a smallish discount and didn't really expect much at the outset.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We were looking to downscale from my Mercedes and were totally bowled over by the test drive

What was the dealer like?

Excellent

What's it like to drive?

Amazing. You feel like you are driving a far larger car. Can't truly describe it so recommend you try for yourself.

What's it like to park?

Daft question for a car like this.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Too early to say

What's most practical about your car?

The size and the keyless technology. I'm six foot two and can travel in the back so those reviews who slate that are in my view incorrect. It is however a bumpy ride in the back so you wouldn't go on a long trek, but at the end of the day the car isn't designed for a family holiday. Other reviews knock it for luggage space which again I think is a daft comment as it's not meant to be a damn van, but fold the rear seats down and you have a quite a fair bit in the end.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

We like everything about it.
