This Popular "Third" Car Has The Highest Non-Hybrid MPGs in the Country

The Scion iQ, which starts at a mere $15,995 is rated the best in combined city and highway miles per gallon in the country among non-hybrid vehicles. But fuel efficiency isn't all it's getting recognized for - the iQ has become increasingly popular among families as their third household car.

I know, strange right? Vice President of Scion Sales Jack Hollis says that the iQ is finding its place among more affluent households, where higher-income families are in the market for a third vehicle.

My question is, for a more inexpensive vehicle, where you're clearly getting bang for your buck, why is this statistic proving true?

Well, your guess is as good as mine. But I do have to say these cars may be little, but they're inexpensive to own and inexpensive to buy; what more could you want? Check out our Scion iQ inventory by clicking here.
