Reviews Summary | |
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. | |
