The iQ, which Scion classifies as a micro-subcompact, became one of the three or four smallest cars in the U.S. when it arrived in late 2011, joining the likes of the Smart ForTwo, Mini Cooper and Fiat 500. The iQ delivers good but not great mileage – like the ForTwo but with more seats. New for 2014 A touch-screen stereo with a 6.1-inch screen is newly standard, and the available BeSpoke premium stereo now supports Aha-based smartphone integration and navigation functionality.
