The styling is pretty good for the small shitbox hatchback category The interior has a lot of room and you can fit 5 people comfortably, unlike a Fiesta You can get it with either a 6spd manual or a "7spd" CVT It has a Toyota motor that was probably developed in the Reagan era so it's guaranteed to be reliable It has a double wishbone rear suspension for maximum driving pleasure It has more standard features than most BMWs You can get one for a $149/mo 0 down lease or get 0% financing for 72mo since Scion is going out of business
because I've already set money aside for a 2017 gt86.

Because I refuse to buy any angry, pedestrian-safe recent car.

COOL VIBRATIONS

That plus you can't afford one. Also, you aren't old enough to drive.
Ethan Long
Are you like the internet version of those niggers who stand on the side of the road holding a "going out of business sale" sign for a furniture store?
Jason Nguyen
I thought Scions were unreliable despite being a toyota
Adam Turner
the only unreliable scion is the FR-S which is a subaru
the BRZ is also subaru's most unreliable car
Liam Russell
It actually is a pretty well rounded car. It's just not great. And Scion needed one great car to save itself.
>inb4 FR-S apologists weigh-in
Asher Torres
I'm heavily considering getting the iM or an LX Civic 5 speed manual. Hard to choose, but the iM seems like it'd be the better all around choice. But I bet the Honda drives better.
Nathan Smith
It's reliable after you weld the body seams, replace the clutch, and ditch the direct injection
Brandon Allen
>scion is going out of business thank god
Jeremiah Sanchez
Because the God tier Mazda 3 exists.
Levi Green
I like it, would get a used one for next daily once im completely done with school
Tyler Richardson
The only one worth getting is the Grand Touring s, which is almost 30k even used.
Daniel Perry
Horsepower? Curb weight?
Kayden Phillips
Your opinion aside, if we're talking about comparable trims/specs, the mazda 3 is clearly better.
Levi Harris
Of course it's the better driver, but it costs thousands more. What part of that don't you understand? Retard.
Gabriel Thomas
Waaah, 2k is a huge difference . Have fun buying a car that will only be worth its weight in scrap.
Joseph Brown
>2k >he wants a base model Mazda 3
Jack Davis
He wants even more useless electronic junk weighing down his 130 hp 3,000 lb shitbox.
Oliver Hughes
the mazda 3 has significantly less standard equipment than the 17.5k (manual) or 18.5k (auto) scion
it's basically honda fit pricing, except that you get a bigger car and it's not built in fucking mexico
>You get a bigger.. It's also a faster car, better handling car, a more fuel efficient car, subjectively better looking. If you want a slightly cheaper, more boring, edgy, more do-dads, shitbox go for the im, enjoy your shit resale value. Yfw you realize how much these cars will depreciate.
Eli Ramirez
isn't double wishbone the best type of IRS?
are there any other FWD shitboxes with that kind of suspension anymore? i know old hondas had that, but i doubt that they do now.
Ryan Cooper
yes it is. Civic's and Accords still have it, as does the Scion tC. The Scion tC and iM both use an updated version of the chassis from the last Toyota Celica, so there's definite potential here, even with the tC's Camry engine, and the iM's Corolla engine.
Oliver Davis
i highly doubt scions will depreciate any faster than they did previously
they're all going to be rebadged as toyotas next year and they all have readily available parts
Parker Jones
>CVT
Get the 6 speed manual. I hope there will be an aftermarket for these cars soon, I wouldn't be surprised if these get a boost in sales after switching to Toyota since most car shoppers are fucking dumb and didn't even know Scion was Toyota despite being in the same showroom.
Gabriel Walker
They are way too expensive for a fwd shitbox
Joshua Wood
The base model isn't and still drives way better than the Scion
Chase Barnes
I don't need or want a small economy car. They are also the worst sort of car to buy new since they depreciate like a stripper about to turn 30.
Jordan Hughes
What?
Civics and Corollas have some of the best resale
Xavier Miller
Lol the base goes for less than a corolla
Gabriel Myers
upvoted :^)
Christian Richardson
The base Mazda 3 has zero features though, you get way more car with the competitors. If you want a nice Mazda 3 you gotta spend $30k
Hunter Stewart
30k? Search inventory gives grand touring s models with a manual for 25k
Jaxon Evans
>used >abused, worn interior, miles put on
Hey faggot, the iM goes for under $20k NEW with 0 miles. Your meme fwd sporty hatch isn't worth 5-6k more especially used
Chase Hill
>And Scion needed one great car to save itself. But that's the iA
Kevin Morales
>All standard shit you get in cars nowadays >Bitching about "no features"
This isn't the 90's where shit like air conditioning and power windows aren't standard equipment. Anything the iM has over the base 3 is not worth losing sleep over, while the Mazda 3 has more power, greater fuel economy, and superior transmissions...you know, the important shit.
Why any idiot would by an iM when the iA is on the same lot for less money is the better question.
Tyler Evans
The iA is made in Mexico
It's also an ugly sedan versus a hatchback.
Sebastian Ross
This, the iA is fucking ugly and disproportionate, especially with those awful 16 inch twin spoke wheels.
Mazda's are pretty fucking ugly, the only good looking ones are the new CX9 and the top of the line Mazda 6
Lucas Martin
>no down, $98/mo wew lad, get better credit. Might take the plunge on leasing one of these, I doubt my mk4 will last long, sitting at 180k but the summer heat is killing it.
