Finally found the perfect car enabling me to stock more Moto Guzzi! the Renault Twizy; dang, it is not sold in the USA...

Funny, the press here liked it (the Toyota).

 

As for it being a shitbox: an acquaintance had an iQ. He put lots of miles on it, including regular trips on the german Autobahn. He was perfectly happy with it.

I haven't driven either, but I've sat in both. The Toyota made a considerably better impression on me.

 

At the end of the day I'd take a Toyota above an "entry level" Daimler every time, particularly one that is in the end not much more than a cynical marketing exercise. I did enough Daimler annual stockholder's meetings to know that that is exactly what the Smart is.

I drove Smart Fortwo when I was still in Europe, so older models. I agree with you they were really crude unrefined cars.

I can't comment about the SCION IQ, I never tried one.

Anyhow, the only reason why I would want one, is to gain space in my garage. Ideally, I would like to ditch my car.
