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.

Yeah, I do think it is also designed for the smaller people in Asia than the larger people in the western society. As my gf and her family is rough 4ft 11 and we all fit in this car. 😅 (I was the driver btw - at 5ft9)
I do love these cars, would like a GRMN version but these cost silly money for the same car. Have been modifying this little beast (some would say a little too much!!)

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.
