Hi all:
Really thankful to have found this forum. I'm in the market to buy my first car. As a graduate student, I don't have a ton of money to burn, so I'm looking at primarily used cars, but the Scion iA falls into that price range as well.
For me, I'd primarily be using it to drive around my school town (groceries, errands, and trips about an hour away). Primarily driving myself, and if driving with people, it wouldn't be long trips. I would be driving down to NC, from DE, to visit my girlfriend about every other month, so it would go on longer drives then.
I'm interested in what you guys use the Scion iA, how it holds up on long drives, and perhaps whether it would be more prudent to buy a used car (haha, can you even say that on a forum devoted to this car?). Specifically, I'd be looking at a 2012/13 Mazda3 hatchback as an alternative.
