iQ is very cool as you dont notice how small it is once you are inside. Materials and Space for the front seats is the same or better than Corolla. It has "premium" suspension that works better than Corollas (IMHO). You notice it is small only on the outside and when you turn back, you will be easily able to touch back window with your hands .

But at the same time, iQ is also expensive, more expensive than comparable Yaris. So you have to understand that lenght does not equal price.

The 2ZR on the Corolla w/ a 4-spd auto matches the 1NZ Yaris w/ a 4-spd auto on the highway! The City isn't far off either. 7.6L/100km (31mpg) for the Corolla vs. 7.0L/100km (33.6mpg) for the Yaris. The Civic here with a 5-spd auto is close to the class average of 8.1L/100km for the city rating.
