Reviews SummaryThe 2015 Scion FR-S is a true sports car, easily putting a big fat grin on your face as you’re taking a corner on your favorite twisty road. But its lack of practicality means either that you don’t have any kids or that you also own a different vehicle that's more suitable for the real world. | |
Reviews SummaryEven though Scion will start bowing out next year, it's sending one more volley across the field before it leaves with the Scion iM. Based partially on the Corolla and the tC, the iM has been previously marketed as the Toyota Auris in the rest of the world, available since 2006. While it’s true that competitors offer more power, more space, and a more thrilling ride, that doesn’t mean you should discount the little iM. With a surprising list of standard features, 2 years of free scheduled maintenance, and an attractive profile, the iM is still a competitive option. | |
