Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryWith the Yaris sedan no longer in production, Toyota found itself in need of a replacement and found Mazda had the perfect example in the not-coming-to-U.S.-shores Mazda2. So they paid Mazda to allow them to put it out with Scion badges tacked on. This is a good thing, as the Mazda2 has already impressed with engaging driving dynamics and styling that's gone a long way toward redefining the subcompact class. Rebadged as the Scion iA, things improve further with more standard features in keeping with Scion’s one-price structure. | |
