We activated both the 6-speed automated and now the 6-speed chiral gearbox Scion iA bunched sedans – and we begin out bound which one is college on the fun-to-drive meter. The aberration amid the two is added than active dynamics and aswell comes down to ammunition breadth and price. Recently, we accept been active the 2016 Scion iA 4-Door Auto with a 6-speed chiral Japanese used car dealer.
We aswell collection the new Scion iM models and we’ll acquaint you which one is our admired out of everything.
What’s New?
The 2016 Scion iA is an all-new vehicle. As we declared beforehand this year if active the automated iA: “Toyota partnered with Mazda to accompany out this new auto sedan, targeting a adolescent bearing of buyers. It looks like they hit the Japanese used car dealer.”
Features & Options
Our 2016 Scion iA tester came with the 6-speed chiral chiral ($15,700) and is able-bodied able for a auto car. It appearance keyless entry, push-button start, tilt-and-telescopic council wheel, ability mirrors,
seven-inch touch-screen, and six-speaker complete arrangement with music streaming. It aswell comes with steering-wheel controls, articulation acceptance for audio and phone, Bluetooth, USB port, additional affinity with Aha, Pandora, and Stitcher. A 60/40 bend collapsed rear bench was aswell included.
MSRP: $16,470 including Japanese used car dealer.
Interior Highlights
We were afflicted the moment we stepped into the Scion iA’s cabin. The cocked touchscreen and annular vents appear appropriate from the page of a Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. It’s abnormal to acquisition this affectionate of actual superior and fit and accomplishment in a subcompact, costing beneath than $17,000. There’s lots of bendable blow abstracts acclimated throughout and the infotainment arrangement appearance the affectionate of connectivity a high-tech bearing Japanese used car dealer.
The 7-inch touch-screen sits on the dash. It bent and kept our absorption with its simple to apprehend display. Room up foreground is archetypal for a auto and rear cartage will feel a bit awkward on best jaunts about town. For cargo, the rear seats do bend collapsed and accessible up to the sedan’s Japanese used car dealer.
Engine & Ammunition Breadth Specs
The new Scion iA is powered by a 1.5-liter engine bearing an abounding 106 application and 103 pound-feet of torque. The iA engine comes from Mazda, application absolute bang with a top 12:1 compression ratio. The four-cylinder powerplant is acquainted for ammunition ability and achieves an EPA-estimated 31/41 city/highway mpg and 35 accumulated with the 6-speed chiral gearbox.
The 6-speed automated gets bigger ammunition breadth at 33/42 city/highway mpg and 37 combined.
The automated wins the ammunition abridgement Japanese Toyota used car dealer.
Driving Dynamics
There’s a lot to like about the Scion iA auto with the chiral gearbox. It’s a driver’s car from the alpha and offers affluence of fun for active enthusiasts. We had the car during a winter snow storm in Denver and the heavy, wet snow was added than the foreground drive auto could handle. Unfortunately, we anchored the car and had bound bench time with the chiral iA.
Before the blizzard, however, the Scion iA carved the dry abundance curves with affluence and little physique lean. The chiral gearbox is a joy to about-face with brittle changes up and down in the gears. The 6-speed chiral is added fun-to-drive than the automated by a mile!
On the accessible road, we had to downshift into fifth on the abundance hills as 6th accessory is alpine and added of an overdrive. It was simple to acquisition the appropriate accessory as we motored through the city-limits streets afore the snowstorm. Handling is adventurous and the abeyance is just appropriate with MacPherson struts in foreground and bewilderment axle in the Japanese used car dealer.
Conclusion
If you wish a added agreeable active acquaintance we like the Scion iA chiral by far. For ammunition breadth and city-limits commuting in traffic, the Scion iA automated is the way to go. Our claimed another would be to cede one or two mpg and go with the sportier active machine, the 6-speed manual. It’s fun-to-drive, offers a added agreeable active acquaintance and it still gets accomplished ammunition breadth overall.
The iA automated does run about $1100 added which is addition acumen to chose the chiral shifter. Not anybody brand to about-face and that’s why Scion offers the automatic, and it’s added ammunition efficient. It’s a acceptable Japanese used car dealer.
We aswell analysis collection the new Scion iM 5-door auto automated and 6-speed chiral models. Which would we accept out of the four models? We like the iM chiral because of its adventurous active dynamics and the account of the 5-door hatch.
