2012 Scion iQ

Trim: Base

Not Built for Canada
Fuel economy is hit or miss with this car. If you drive 80km/hr - 100km/hr on back roads then you will get the rated economy of about 6L/100km. If your are a city driver and travel 100km/hr - 120km/hr the economy is around 8L/100km.

Cup holders are lacking with only one in the front. My passenger fights who gets to hold the coffee and drive.

Seats are soft but are paper thin for any ride longer than 2hr.

With the driver seat pushed back it has more space than an SUV. The back seats in my car are folded down most of the time to provide space for grocery shipping.

This is a car for local city use, made for 2 adults and a child who do not drink coffee and don't need to transport anything more than 2 backpacks.

2015 Scion tC

by Anon1906 on 08-18-2016
Great fun!
Love this car. Great fun to drive.

Pros:
Just enough power without being overwhelming. Also it comes with excellent sport tires that have great traction.

It looks great too. I always get compliments on it.
Excellent features too (18" rims, panoramic sunroof, reclining rear seats)

Massive cargo space thanks to the hatch. You can actually sleep back there!

Also the steering wheel. This might seem odd but the big chunk wheel is a joy to use. Feels great in the hands.

The best part about this car is the reliability. It used the Camry engine which has high parts availability and is practically bulletproof.

Cons:

Visibility is tight sometimes but just mind your surroundings and you will be fine.

Suspension is on the stiff side (took me a while to get used to it) but I personally like it now, especially in the corners. Not as fuel efficient as a Corolla but it definitely won't break the bank.

Also the interior isn't the best. Cheap plastics. Keep your hands to the steering wheel and shifter though and it won't be a problem.

2016 Scion FR-S

by JulieJuliejulie on 07-12-2016
Underrated
I bought myself this car as a birthday present to myself and I could not be happier with my choice. The car is absolutely beautiful on the outside, the front end style looks "meaner" than the Subaru brz. The red stitching in the interior is sporty and very sleek. It takes turns well and it's a super fun car to drive in the summer.
The only real "problem" with the car is that it's very low. If you want to take your grandparents for a spin, please give them a heads up. I wouldn't do any long distance driving with passengers in the back. This car is perfect for someone with no kids and loves cars!

2004 Scion xB

1st Gen Jem
I traded an 08 Mazda 3 GT for my 04 xB in April 2012 and haven't looked back. I love my xB - the original box on wheels. I've had my eyes on the xB since they were first released in the US in 2004, and they never made it to Canada as they dropped the xB for 07 and then came back with the second gen in 08, still not coming to Canada until 2011. Having driven both the 1st gen and the 2nd gen, my personal preference has always been towards the first gen, and if you can find one in good condition with low mileage for a good price, they are well worth the money, and carry the Toyota dependability and reliability. I have a little over 110K miles on it at the time of this writing, and in the 3 and a half years I've had it, I haven't had to do anything major other than oil changes and front pads and rotors which I got after market for $110 CAD for both rotors and ceramic pads. Tons of room, custom modification possibilities are endless. All in all, a fun, practical little box to drive on a daily basis. Love my xB!!

Great Car
This is a fantastic car. I have been very impressed with how it handles on the road in moderate to severe weather. For being a smaller car, winter driving was really good!

As my family is growing this size car is no longer suitable for me. I wish I were bigger, but I am happy to sell this car with confidence to someone who is looking for a fuel efficient, reliable, durable, and stylish car.

2013 Scion FR-S

by FR-S on 04-14-2014
Most fun under $50,000
Very pleased with the FR-S, I've driven a lot of different cars, including a few "hot hatch" sporties, and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which claims to be a competitor. None were as centered, felt so natural and clean as the FR-S. Has more than enough power, very fun to drive especially when revved. Decent everyday car too. Only drawback is the interior could use a bit more refinement, but the car gives so much for such a small price tag compared with everything else out there.

Unless you have sat in a Scion xB then you will never know how big the inside of this micro van really is. Small engine and Toyota reliability make for an economic family mover.

Mixed Bags
- Fuel Economy suffers as Automatics are only 4 spd. 9.9L/100km in Winters and 8.8L/100km in summers

-Interior build quality is very low grade. Very plastic and constant warping/creaking noise from pillars. Been to the dealer multiple times, no remedy

-90 degree hood makes it prone to chips and scratches, get 3M on the front of hood deflector

-If you're a tall individual you may experience knee pain as the centre console blocks your knee from resting comfortably.

-Awkward usb/aux port

-Stock bluetooth system is horrendous.

Some Pros.

- So far no major malfunctions,

- Very large cargo space

Fun and functional
The reason why I'm selling this car is because I am moving cities. I really enjoyed driving this car as it is very reliable, spacious and really functional. I use this car mainly for city driving, transporting friend and sometimes packing it up with some sporting/camping gear to go outside and play. I am going to miss this car.

Love this car!
It's quite a zippy little car, great on gas, and the drive is so smooth. There's tons of room for such a small car and can seat backseat passengers very comfortably. There is also tons of things you can do to personalize it and make it your own! My only complaints with this vehicle is that It is a little low in the power department and the clutch is a bit touchy for my liking but over all I am very satisfied with it. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who does a lot of commuting and is looking for reliability.

Pro: No repair or breakdown since 2011 , only regular fluid changes needed. Roomy , drives just like a car , plenty of power to haul 5 adults with gears , priced right.

Con: No back up camera , No side mirror camera , No forward recording camera , No lane drift assist , No radar collision warning systems , No tires pressure monitoring systems , No DVD playback , No digital radio , No GPS , No leather wrap anything , No regular dealership waiting lounge coffee .

But other than that , it is a solid tank like vehicle from Toyota.

Most reliable car I've ever owned
I wouldn't be selling this car if I didn't need an SUV or truck to pull a horse trailer. It is by far the most mechanically reliable car I have ever owned. I have never had any major issues with it and I've owned it since new (2006). The harsh East coast roads can be hard on the body cosmetics but this car will go through almost anything even with all season tires. If you want a car that is going to last, this is it!
