• I'm selling my 595 Competizione soon, 2016, 31k. Looking to downsize..my shortlist is Citroen C-Zero, Toyota IQ, Fiat Panda. I'd like a Panda Cross but seem expensive and the C-Zero idea has been laughed at. Anyone know much about the IQ?

  • We love our pocket rocket.

    As @Nef said it is more a 3+1 car than a 4 seater.

    For a family car is it not great. But for two people run around London and the UK is perfect.

    Maintenance and running cost is cheap. Parking is amazing and the turning circle is perfect for London’s road.

    1.0 manual is what we have, zero road tax and roughly 65mpg if you don’t thrash it like your 595. For reference we drove from south east London to Windermere using 3/4 of a tank and this cost is £35 (when petrol was 1.78)

    Drawback, a little underpower on the motorway, also there is hardly any boot space, you can either fold one side down and increase that way or both seats down to have a proper boot space.

    But considering you can get one of these for 2-3k it’s a pretty good bargain.

  • I think I’ve said this before but I worked on the launch for the iQ and loved it. Such a perfect city car with some amazing engineering.

    Inner city travel could be so different if the Qashqui hadn’t come out around the same time.

    Didn’t realise they were so cheap these days but the make a tonne of sense if you’re in the burbs.
