Used 2013 Scion iQ

The 2013 Scion iQ is proof that great things can come in very, very small packages — sort of like a pocket knife with wheels. This microcar is so compact it looks like it could fit inside your average SUV’s cup holder, but don’t be fooled by its size. Powered by a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with a whopping 94 horsepower, it won’t exactly set the world on fire, but it’s perfect for zipping around the city like an over-caffeinated hamster. Parking is a breeze because you can practically just tuck it under your arm and carry it into the store. Inside, the iQ is a masterclass in efficient design. Despite being barely bigger than a phone booth, it somehow fits four seats — though calling it a four-seater is a bit like calling a kiddie pool an Olympic swimming pool. The rear seats are best reserved for people you don’t like or for emergency grocery overflow. Tech is simple but functional, with Bluetooth connectivity and a basic sound system that can turn your morning commute into a personal karaoke session (just don’t expect any privacy). The 2013 Scion iQ is the perfect car for anyone who thinks parallel parking should be an Olympic sport or who believes gas stations are just unnecessary pit stops. It’s tiny, it’s quirky, and it’s here to prove that sometimes less really is more — especially when you can park in spaces other cars only dream about.
