The TOYOTA IQ (2009-15) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 VVTI 68 EU5 2 LEATHER is a tiny city car, not a conventional family hatchback. Its short body makes it easy to park and manoeuvre on crowded UK streets, while leather trim gives this version a more upmarket feel than many basic runabouts. Mycarcheck.com recorded 2,659 look-ups across 1,098 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this niche model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,300, mileage of 79,000 miles and annual use of about 5,000 miles. The typical car has around three previous keepers, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. The 1.0-litre petrol suits commuting and short trips, with modest costs and an easy-going drive. Its clever layout creates cabin space for its size, although rear seats and luggage room are limited. Unlike a Smart Fortwo, the iQ can carry passengers, making it best for singles, couples and city drivers.
