The 2016 Scion iM only hit showroom floors on September 1st, and it’s already being showered with praise. Kelley Blue Book named it one of the
10 best back-to-school cars for 2015,1 while Consumer Reports noted that in addition to being inexpensive, the Scion iM was “surprising” and “fun to
drive.”2 To find out what about the Scion iM is earning it such rave reviews, click to the next slide.
As Consumer Reports notes, the Scion iM gives drivers and passengers an enjoyable riding experience. The cabin is quiet and comfortable, the suspension absorbs the bumps and irregularities of the road with ease, and the masterful steering system allows the Scion iM to nimbly turn corners without jostling passengers or stressing drivers.
Unlike similarly priced hatchbacks, the Scion iM includes high class amenities, such as: •
Backup camera
•
Touchscreen radio
•
Power heated mirrors
•
Dual-zone automatic climate control
•
6-speaker Pioneer music system
If you love biking, surfing, or other activities that require lots of transport and storage space, the Scion iM has you covered. Once the rear seats are folded down, the Scion iM offers a
surprising amount of storage space for its tiny size, making it perfect for transporting camping gear, bicycles, and other large objects.
The 4-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 37 miles per gallon, putting it well above
the average U.S. gas mileage rate of 24.1 mpg.3 In addition to its low initial cost, the Scion iM’s fuel efficiency will save drivers even more money over time by reducing their gas bill.
The Scion iM has multiple built-in safety features that protect the driver and passengers from accidents on the road. These include: •
Tire pressure monitor system
•
First aid kit
•
Engine immobilizer
•
Driver and front passenger seat advanced airbag system
•
Front and rear side curtain airbags
•
Smart Stop Technology and Brake Assist
Most people would expect a car as drivable and with as many great features as the Scion iM to come with a hefty price tag. Instead, the 2016 Scion iM starts at less than $20,000, which earned it a place on Kelley Blue Book’s list of the best cars for students before it even arrived on showroom floors.
