Hi, after I get some things off my "to do" list, I'm planning to buy a Sapphire manual iA for my everyday commute. Have enjoyed the many interesting owner comments and Scion news here. And like the idea that the real world mpg is better than the manufacturer's estimate.
My question is; does this car have a break-in period before you should be driving at 70+ mph? Want to do it right to keep this car for many miles and years.
One more thing, I was actually intrigue with the Ford Fiesta ST, but dependability and maintenance costs have deterred me away (I'm cheap). And then I drove the iA and it reminded me of my '83 VW GTI; only 90 hp but it was light, maybe 1,800 lbs, and you could toss that around, unlike my 2006 VW GTI which was over 3,000 lbs. Yes weight definitely makes a difference in these small cars.
Thanks,
Mark
