I just averaged 38.78 mpg on my 1300 miles road trip. I like it a lot it feels well build and the ride is really good. It is the perfect commuter car, practical, good mpg, cheap to maintain reliable And I think it looks cool. Every car is going turbo now days this Hatch can't compete on the power department but it has to be the most reliable Hatch of the segment. If you main concern is practical and dependable transportation this has to be at the top of your list.
i drove the 2017 corolla and while the interior is identical, with minor differences throughout. The im by far is a much more refined ride, sound proofing is much better, more aggressive handling and the transmission spec is much better. I am glad I got the IM first the corolla.
You can probably get one of these iM's used for around 15K..then you'd have an awesome euro-style'd peppy commute with way above average interior that would last you 10-15 years. Now that's a heck of a deal!
I feel like it is close to being great but needs 20 more HP, better handling, and better shifting transmission (based on other reviews I read). Now in the long run I bet the ownership costs for this car will be rock bottom if taken care of. I want to like it but I would go Mazda3 or Golf instead.
If that's what you're looking for, those are great choices. For people who don't really care about that as much and just want a city commuter, I think this fits the bill perfectly.
I looked at this car just recently. It appealed that it would be good on gas and it looks sporty and fun. I found the engine just buzzy trying to accelerate to merge on the highway. Worst of all, the seats got hard fast. So sadly , I was disappointed
I'd probably go for a Honda Fit, or maybe even a low-level VW Golf if I was in the market for this type of car and price. Although I think this might be a bit cheaper than those two, I still think I'd pass on it.
"I hear the optional CVT isn't bad". Don't know what that means, They all whine, slip, lag and are the opposite of precise, responsive, performance feel or sound. I couldn't enjoy any car with a CVT.
You're not going to hear an argument from me on that point! However, within the realm of CVTs, the reviews I've read and the people I've talked to say that this isn't one of the worst examples out there. Kind of like saying, "For Chinese food I got in Boise at 3am, it wasn't bad!"
you can't "bite the hand" - Fiat should drop their 8 speed auto transmission in the 500 - get 60 mpg and 0-60 in 7 seconds without turbo or batteries. That's what it would take for Toyota to wake-up.

Eric Haynes there’s one for sale near me that has barely 30K on the odometer. Asking price? $10,000
I must be one of the few people that prefers no sunroof for any car :p
TRD suspension parts are from the tC. They work in the iM.
Perhaps, but Toyota/Scion know nothing about it, and if you attempt to do that at the dealership, you'll be out of luck.

viyau You're not wrong!
no way, when compared to the regular corolla, you are dead wrong.
If it would have 30 more horses and a sunroof this would be the car for me.
I'd take more torque rather than more hp.

That'd be a fun combination.
