Handbrake parking a Toyota iQ.



I don't actually think the iQ will seat four American adults - but it would be funny to just watch people try to squeeze in and drive on the interstate. The iQ with the 1.0 liter gasoline engine (67bhp) will do 0-60 in a whopping 12.8 seconds. Top speed is 93mph. According to Toyota UK's product site, it'll do 65.69 miles per Imperial gallon, which converts to something like 54.7 miles per US gallon.

Cheaper and more practical than the Smart car & doesn't require premium gasoline. Five star in EuroNCAP safety testing (amusing crash test video). I still wouldn't want to be in one on the receiving end of an Escalade tho.

if I lived in the city, I think I would get this car.
