I've had my white 2014 IQ2 auto for 3 months now and thought I'd give a summary of what i think is good and not so good. I'd wanted an IQ for a number of years and having parted with my GT86 I decided I wanted my next car ownership experience to be less fraught but still fun. Good things: Auto 'box. Wiper sensors...never had them but now would miss them. Rear view mirror that dims automatically. Fun handling and car is chuckable to a degree. Quite a lot of storage and have invested in glovebag Love how clever, unique and quirky it is compared to other small cars....especially the seating options and adaptability. I drive with rear seats down and material parcel-shelf up. Steering wheel controls impress too. Keyless entry was a must having had it in gt86 so iq2 was picked as I only have a 2 mile daily commute. Impressed by the turning circle & love the look of curve on the side rear window. Not so good: Dash rattles - GT86 had this too so seems Mr T is cutting back on build quality. Poor interior lighting - to be rectified on Thursday with rgb lighting to footwells and boot. MPG not fantastic and I have to drive like a nun to get good figures. Options fitted: Carpet mats Rear split mat/liner. Parrot bluetooth 9000 fitted so can stream music. Front mudflaps. I've uploaded some pics...

Simples, demolish all towns and cities, flatten all hills and made people buy only local goods as there will be no lorries to deliver anything else Or sack all the desk jockeys who do not live in OUR world Del

Doubt that it will have follow me home lights - my MY12 doesn't . Think that it was the MY13 that gained them in some trims.

Keep things in perspective, it only affected a relatively small number and most would`ve been uprated by Toyota anyway, if it sounds ok it probably is ok. The Hilux is by far the best you can buy, the reliability is legendary for good reason.

Hi Warren I've only just joined this forum but am am also a member of another forum and I have found that being a forum member has many advantages not only with advice on your car but humour and help with other things to :D

Owners manuals can be purchased form your local Toyota dealer, if you have follow me home headlights after switching the car off, before opening the drivers door pull the headlight stalk as though you are flashing full beam at someone, if you have follow me home lights your headlamps will remain on for a short period of time.

Don`t use the Hilux in 4wd on dry tarmac

Torque is a little strangled on the 2012 model Put a CHIP KIT on it, boost the torque by 90 NM and improve MPG Kingo
