Just test drove one this morning. Fantastic little car. Couple thoughts:

Bigger than I thought on both the exterior and interior. Just about as wide as my 09 Yaris.
I like that I'm "UP" when driving, providing an excellent view.
TURNS ARE FANTASTIC.
Seems very stable. So much that I'm wondering why people need the Sway Bar.
So much safety equipment!

It does not have a lot of pep. But I knew that.
Drove her on a snowy day. Seems iffy in the snow, drove the 16" wheel.
Financially it makes no sense. You can get more car for the same money but, again, I knew that going into this.

Overall I was very impressed. VERY TORN. I like leasing a vehicle so this would be a lease. Financially it makes more sense to buy my Yaris outright.

Does it really seat 4 people?

No. Theres only room behind the front passanger seat for a rear passanger.Behind the drivers there no foot room for a passanger.

There IS room for storage under the hatch unlike the Smart which has nearly no storage space at all.

I would imagine you would have a hard time selling an IQ should that become necessary.
