Recently Scion launched the new iM and iA vehicles in Santa Monica, California. Even though both were a joy to drive, only the iM will be evaluated at this time.
The Scion iM has a sporty and versatile 5-door design. The cabin is roomy with premium high-tech features.
The sport seating is standard and fitting, but just a little too fitted for me. There is an integrated whiplash injury lessening structure for occupant protection. More about safety later.
There are quality materials throughout the cabin. The layered dashboard combines a sport car aroma with an inspiring instrument panel with easy to reach controls.
The Scion iM has an acoustic layer windshield, foam-type insulation and floor silencer sheets to keep noise outside.
The 60/40 split fold-down rear seats and standard cargo cover add versatility. A roomy glove box and console box are supported by numerous front door pocket bins throughout. No trash without a place in this vehicle.
