Consumer Reports Slams Scion iQ As Not Worth The Money

Consumer Reports is panning the tiny Toyota-built Scion iQ subcompact car in its latest round of auto reviews.

The magazine said it found the Scion to be “slow, uncomfortable and noisy, among other drawbacks. With a road test score of 29, it joins the ranks of the lowest-scoring cars Consumer Reports has tested in recent years.”

 “While the iQ’s fuel economy is good within its class, it requires drivers to endure a lot of trade-offs just to save at the pump. Its $16,205 sticker price is no bargain either,” said David Champion, who heads the  Consumer Reports Automotive Test Center.
