Dang guys you sure know how to keep a fella waiting huh? Haha I can appreciate the time it takes to surely get what I want, so I thank you all for your replies! And trust me, I've read up on Taz's IQ up and down, inside and out. Along with several others on here and IQ-Forums.. Seriously, truly inspirational work he's sorta top dog IMO on IQ-Forums. I also enjoy reading about Tarquins accomplishments on here, he's built himself up to be quite the guru (Airbagged too, but I'm apprehensive to bring him up).
I ultimately did some research guys, Like I said... Logically I say IA or Yaris, but damn, the IQ just screams at me. I've decided on it after my research about the engine family, as well as the different iterations of the k411b ??? transmission. Apparently the North American market has the revised version of this transmission, which has heritage all the way back to I think to like 08 or so... So it's no scary thing to love this car for me anymore! I just really wanted you guys to tell me there are no immediate concerns... I really want to do my part to make this car into a niche fan-favorite!
