2016 Scion iM Review ? Toyota's Tweener Takes a Turn - The Truth About Cars
Now thats assuming you go manual for performance. Anyone going to go stick regardless?So is the iM. While 0-60 mph happens in around 10 seconds in the iM (which, relatively speaking, is average for a hatchback) the engine never really felt rushed to go anywhere. There’s no huge pickup in power anywhere in its band — not at 4,000 rpm at full twist, not at the 6,100-rpm redline. Thus, it’s fair to say: Don’t worry about the manual; it doesn’t have guts over the CVT anyway.
