What is it?
TOP grade version of Toyota’s miniature marvel, the iQ. The iQ3 features a 1.3-litre engine and stop-start technology. The extra engine capacity gives the iQ an additional 30bhp at 97bhp over the 1.0-litre version. The iQ3 costs £12,017 on the road.
What’s hot?
- A brilliant piece of engineering
- The iQ is sensationally small – under 3m – yet can take four people
- Handles like a go-kart with very direct steering
- Despite size, has grown-up safety kit…
- …including world-first rear window airbag
- Only 10% company car tax
- Fuel economy of 58.9mpg
What’s not?
- Miniaturisation compromises functionality
- Radio function on steering wheel is fiddly…
- …and often won’t connect to your desired station
- Rear head restraints need to be removed before rear seats fold
- Which isn’t easy – and required if you want additional boot area
- Misses out on 100% first year writing down allowance (WDA)
- Despite the bigger engine, long motorway journeys best avoided
- Expensive compared to other city cars
- Four-cylinder engine lacks character of 1.0 three-cylinder unit
