A Little iQ Goes A Long Way

Toyota’s victory in our recent microcar Showroom Showdown probably doesn’t qualify for bragging rights, since the single most common answer to the question of which car you’d buy between a smart and an iQ was some variation of "neither, I’d rather walk." But among those who did decide between the two pocket-sized doodlebugs, iQ was the overwhelmingly popular choice. Good old Toyota build quality was frequently cited, and only those who were aware that smart was designed by Mercedes went with the smart on these grounds. We hope that Ryan’s recent no-start issues with his new smart didn’t sway the vote too much!
