I just bought this vehicle today, and from what I can tell it's a very nice Sedan especially for the class. It handles well, has blue tooth connectivity for smartphones, as well as hands free calling. It also has a Sport mode button that raises the RPM's. It's a terrific car and AMAZING on gas. I drove 70 miles today and put $3.00 worth of gas in lol
Its a car to get from A to B using barely any gas. Perfect little car for this class.
Cool night drive. I like this car alot. The Mazda DNA really makes for a great handling ride. I'm also impressed how well the halogen headlights perform.
This little car seems to have the driving dynamics of a much larger car. I was impressed!
+DartdashcamSC This is a Mazda built car. I expect no less from the Zoom Zoom car company!
Dude drive it like u stole it...way to go on making good use of 100hp!
+joegolden481 TO THE REDLINE!!!! LOL. It's actually 106 HP with 103 ft lbs.
joegolden481 I was thinking the same thing lol
I've been looking for a car and the search stops here
I enjoy the night time driving the most. Awesome!
My first new car was a Gray 2016 Scion iA. After she was totaled by a hit and run, I bought a Abyss Blue 2018 Yaris iA! I looooove my car. I was so deviated when my original was totaled but so happy when I found my current iA. Now I just need some tint and to add Apple CarPlay upgrades and I’ll be set for years.
You put that thing through its paces. Good video
If they gave this the 2.0L Skyactive motor it would have been perfect
+Anthony Cuda ,,, right!!! not too bad
+Anthony Cuda It seemed to have followed Yaris 1.5 L 106 hp 103 ft lbs. I wish it would even have a 1.8L 125 HP 115 ft lbs of torque but of course that would lower mpg just a little bit but I'm willing to take a little hit in mpg for more power. Never the less for what it is; it's a good car.
+Native722 Mazda doesn't have a 1.8 engine and i'm sure as hell won't want a Toyota 1.8 here instead of this 1.5 Skyactive engine. (Mazda 2, Toyota Yaris, and Scion iA are the same cars in this generation across the world)
+Native722 No its a mazda Sky activ engine which is way better than the yaris 1.5l.
Anthony Cuda then you wouldnt get good mpg and you would spend more on gas. how would it be better?
I really like this car. it has that push start button that I really want, since I wear tight pants and it's a hassle to take them out. also it's compact, come with a very nice gauges not that boring ones from everyone else. it just needs LED projectors, for being a youth company it really needs them.
nice video and car. I really like Scion iA. Looks like its fast
Dear Santa, please tell Mazda to bring the hatchback version to the US.
He heard your wish lol
No
We have the Mazda 2 version of this. GREAT little car with a good dash of luxury and sport unlike the other cars in its segment when it came out. Too bad you guys cant have one with led/bi-xenon headlights (not sure which one they are) but that said, thats some GREAT light output from the halogens!
I love what Mazda is doing with its automatics
You make this car look awesome
I own the iA and I still watch this because it's satisfying af. I upgraded all my stock Toyo tires to the 195 55 r16 Falkons @50 USD a tire (sale) and I can take turns like the one shown in the video at 4:41 at 80mph
I lose some mpg using these tires, but the grip is like nothing else.
Wow nice! What was your average MPG with stock tires and what is your current average MPG? Im super curious
55? You could have kept the middle number at 60.
.. Unless you just wanted an easy way to ride lower ...
@@martindebrois1472 how would you know that if you don’t have the same car, that is if I’m not mistaken? I can’t tell from your end
@@hurilux41 Dude in my adjoint office has a 2019 one! That's what he put on - 195/60/16s. Car goes fine, he says - Just his speedometer's thrown off, like a mile an hour. (big deal)
Your tires are good size, though.
@@martindebrois1472 60 is the stock number. I didn't pay that much attention to the tire height... All I know is that these tires have extremely good grip when compared to the stock Toyo's
I like the night drives. Considering one of these iAs. Would you recommend it? I haven't been able to test drive one yet.
+Zach Travers I enjoyed my week in it; it's pretty fun to drive. I'd like to try one with a manual transmission, but the automatic was pretty good too. -CA
+Winding Road Magazine Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, it has to be an automatic. I was worried it would be underpowered. Coming from a 2001 Ford Escort however, so any new car is an improvement. These offer a lot of value for the money.
+Zach Travers SCIONS are reliable as well, and they treat you well at the dealership.
+TheSpritz0 Maybe the car has the badges, but it's a Mazda underneath.

It's as cute as heck!!!

Are you going to do a scion iM?
Well this was super fun to watch
When I actually seen it driven, it isn't half bad after all! (Imo)
Specially for 16K
The release of the 2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan is just around the corner. 😁
one thing that i like in night drive's, you can mute video, and turn on Kavinsky - Nightcall
@2:00 Car is in sport mode. Higher revs and more engine sound. I use this mode on my IA when I need to merge onto the freeway. Another reviewer has said the automatic in sport mode shifts faster than the 6 speed manual. I can't validate that though
hey nice video. I recently just got an IA and was wondering if driving it like that could be bad for the car. I wanna go fast!
Everyone who doesn't like this car doesn't have to watch it.
I agree, a lot of people seem to dislike the front but I personally like it
R33ZA I hate the front tho. Too bad people in the USA didn't get the better Mazda 2
I dislike the front but... I’m going to get one because the personality of this car can’t be beat
@@Dongzzzzzz I think the front look similar to a Lexus if the grill went up a lil more
It's really a coin flip between this and a 2016 cruze... They both have similar everything. But the Cruze has a bit more oomph and the potential to tune the turbo. However, I like the cockpit, and overall design of the interior of the iA much more...
Do you find that the ride quality is bumpy? I feel every bump, crack, pothole, and even sewer on the road.
I will say for a subcompact this car drive smooth
i love your reviews because you and i drive the exactly the same lol
I have one and will be posting a vid soon so you guys can see its not under "powerd" specially if you put it in sports mode!
😍😍😍 that purrr
It would've been so beautiful with a roof opening
I've driven the automatic, but not the manual version. How is the manual compared to slick automatic?
I"m between the Scion iA, the Honda fit, and the Mazda 3. I am heavily leaning towards the Scion iA however. Anyone have any suggestions? BTW I would be upgrading from a 1996 toyota tecel (which I have loved, MPG, and reliability) so any one of these cars I would be happy with. I just want to get the most value out of the money.
You would certainly get a more versatile vehicle out of the Mazda 3 Sport (aka Hatch). It's a step up from the iA and Fit and imo a better looking car.
@@tyramail has your opinion changed now? Still debating on the OP situation
@@hurilux41 I still have my 2014 Mazda 3 Sport 2.5, I don’t drive that much but I still think it’s great for driving around town and hauling bigger stuff when needed. The last gen Mazda 3’s are pretty affordable on the used market, as well.
@@tyramail I see. In my case I’m looking for a 3rd car that’s fun to drive (obviously MT) and cheap to own and maintain. I have Prius and Highlander (obviously different purpose). Guess I should go with iA
The Scion iA kinda looks like a Mazda 2 sedan to me... Scion taking other car's design again.... BOTH INSIDE OUT! THE INTERIOR LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AND ALSO THE SCREEN AND THE SPEEDOMETER!! AND ALSO THE SHAPE OF THE SHELL... EVEN THE START STOP BUTTON! JEEZ AND THE .... EVERYTHING!! (Accept for the: Brand, No dual-zone climate control) Basically the budget version.. ;D
greystun it literally is a Mazda 2 that isn't sold stateside. Only happens to have a Scion badge.
Yeah it was made in partnership with mazda so it definitely has Alot of mazda looking stuff... Especially the interior, it looks just like the new mazda interiors now a days
I want it OMG
how did they manage to have those halogen reflectors works like a projector! look at that beam on the wall and the road! its awesome
You can see on the gauge cluster if he's on high beam (left pod, below the tach. Blue logo) There were times that he was on high beams but it's pretty impressive even on low (check start of video)
+Roxas Key Reflector technology has gotten a lot better over the years. This is why you see some manufacturers actually going back to halogen reflectors from halogen projectors. I'd still retrofit them though
To anyone who has own this car or a yaris ia....how does it handle in the snow and hows the reliability since you purchased it?
how does this car handle on the highway? does it get affected by crosswind alot?
+bmwmsport11 It has CWC (Cross Wind Control) and it uses the stability control which used the brakes to steer the car straight without it bouncin all over the lane.
+Angry Whale wow nice
Can you try driving the all new 2016 Honda Civic Touring? Thank!
could you tell me what camera you used and what mount plz
Will you be doing a 2016 Chevy Malibu
That’s my car!
It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast if you don’t want tickets 😉
Hype lol do you find that fast cars get that many more
Tickets
I wouldn't call this car so slow. A Mitsubishi mirage G4 is sloooowww.
My Lord what freeway is that? Sounds like you're driving with a flat ... Then I realized it was the road.
it has a perfect handling, but the original mazda is better
+stancedchannel Care to share how considering it's literally the exact same car with a different front bumper on it?
The headlights don't look too dim. What are they? Projectors?
Halogen
+David Pearson Yes they are you dumbfuck look it up.
9003 halogen I believe. Reflector housing
Can you review a 2016 tacoma?
Should I get the scion version of this or the Yaris version
Lol depends which badge you want Haha definitely the same car on the inside and out tho, just rebadged for when scion went out of business
what was these noises when he makes a turn
+Kareli Gömlek tires squeeling for grip lol
2016 honda civic pov test drive night and day????? please
What is that knocking sound?
have this car cannot wait to get rid of it, so horrible. It got me to point A & B ofcourse im thankful for that but, just not a car i would consider getting for the long run, its more for starters.. It sucks in all types of weather, especially rain, dont feel safe in it at all.
lol I'm fine in the rain but then again I am more than capable of commuting in said rain on a crap mountain bike with slick racing tires with zero tread on slippery metal drainage covers and wet concrete.
This car isn’t bad at all! Especially as a 2nd or 3rd in terms of fun, practicality, and reliability
Why does the scion have the mazda steering wheel, same turn signal same engine sounds lol. I thought scion and toyota were a thing. Did I miss something?
This is a rebadged Mazda 2
How much for this car ? Like 8k ??
How is rear visibility;ie;blind spots?
Only been driving this car got a bout a month or so, read visibility is great and blind spots is at a minimum. I sometimes have a hard time looking at my left side blind spot but I think it's because of the position I have the sit on.
nice
Oversteer at 5 minutes!! ☺️
haha this was recorded near me
Wow, who in their right mind would go out and say: "Hey, I want a new car, let's get a Scion!"
No one really, but the fact that this car is 100% Mazda makes it far more desirable to me.
Someone who doesn't have the money to say "Hey, I want a new car" let's get an Audi!
How many horsepower?
+RIP BootieChrist 106hp and 103 ft lbs of torque 1.5 L.
Thanks man!
I here some voice on the freeway
Honda Fit or this?
+uriel zavala garcia
Fit has more back seat room.. But I think there have been some reliability issues with the Fit, its built in Mexico not Japan now. And I think the CVT transmission has had issues... not that those two things are related. Lots of good cars come out of Mexico.
The thing I like about this iA is it has regular 6spd auto, not a CVT. And Mazda makes some pretty nice auto transmissions... sporty driving i mean.
+kens97sto171 Well this thing's built in Mexico also
seem to have ALOT of cabin noise
sound-proofing adds a fair amount of weight and cost
I thought it was gonna be a manual....
Don't hear that much road noise.
Noisy little thing, cant ask for much i guess..
It's a mazda 3.
*mazda 2
peugeot 206 pls
I think Peugeots are not available in the U.S.
It is mazda!? (Russian People)
+KostLogRU {UT} Yeah Mazda 2 I think. The Dashboard looks exactly the same lol.
It's a rebadge Mazda 2, whole interior, rear and engine is Mazda 2, only thing scion changed was the front.
This is most likely a very economical and reliable car but holy hell it's hideous
+Sonic_1000 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's actually not that bad looking.
I actually love the look
Interior is where it shines
+Sonic_1000 I have to agree with you. BUT, beauty is only a bumper swap away!(The Mazda bumpers look WAY better)
+83FB7 might as well just get a Mazda3.
😆🔥🍟🍔🏵️😆😘😘🥰
noisy car
Wow you guys sold out to Vessel as well, what a joke. On another note, Scions are gay.
I don't understand why you're even here? Do you just like to watch videos on things you dislike and show everyone your hatred about it?
+R33ZA how can a car company be gay? They do not have a sexual preference...
+B1 1B It's a good thing it's a Mazda with Scion badges and front bumper
Scions aren't gay they're very reliable same thing with Toyota and mazda DNA I love the car I gonna get one cause gas getting real high so dude get a life
