Among the smallest of small cars sold in the U.S., the four-passenger, 120-inch-long Scion iQ is just slightly larger than the Smart Fortwo, and “reviewers say the iQ is better in nearly every aspect,” according to U.S. News & World Report. The iQ, which went on sale in the West late last year and has been entering new U.S. markets through early 2012, works best as a city car—given its size, few vehicles are easier to park—but Motor Trend says it still “feels remarkably secure at highway speeds.” It also comes with an impressive 11 airbags and gets good mileage (36 mpg city / 37 mpg highway). Many drivers are surprised, however, that a vehicle that comes in such a tiny package has a starting of around $16,000—which, relatively speaking, is not particularly tiny.
