Scion iQ

The Scion iQ, produced from 2012 through 2015, is a compact city car designed with urban driving and space efficiency in mind. Known for its tiny footprint, cute design, and clever packaging, the iQ offers room for up to four passengers, though most adults won't want to spend more than a few minutes in the cramped rear seat. The Scion's wee dimensions and tight turning radius make it easy to maneuver and park, even in congested areas, while its 1.3-liter engine delivers modest power and excellent fuel efficiency, with an EPA rating of 37 mpg (combined). However, the little Scion also has its share of drawbacks. With its lack of oomph and somewhat noisy cabin, highway driving isn't a strong suit. Additionally, the iQ's cargo space is quite limited, especially with all four seats in use.
