2010 Toyota IQ reviews

Toyota iQ CVT 2010

I picked up my new iQ last friday evening and am VERY impressed. I purchased the CVT model and after reading reviews saying they were slow and took alot of getting used to I was supprised at how great and easy it was to get used to. People have criticised the iQ for being slow from 0-60 but you dont buy this car for speed. If you want speed buy a bigger engine car. I find the iQ very comfortable, solid on the road, very quiet and feels safe to drive. The CVT is smoothe and acceleration is quick once up to desired speed ease off on the throttle and the engine revs die right down and you cruise away, The turning circle is unbelivable, making it very nippy and easy at parking. Only gripe I had is that the so called "glovebox" is an extra and at £80 or so, which is over priced for what it is. Other than that top marks. Before this I had a Smart car Passion and this knocks spots off that. The build quality is better.and the drive is smoother. As for the boot space if you put the rear seats down there’s plenty of space. If your going to be carrying 3 people regularly and need bootspace this is not a car for you. But for 1 or 2 people as a run around this is excellent.
