Six Months of Free Driving

Toyota Ireland are currently looking for 4 bloggers / tweeters to test drive and market their new iQ car. The application process takes 2 minutes to complete and involves a twitter type 140 character pitch.

As our roads and motorways become increasingly congested with traffic, one of the latest trends with car manufacturers is the clever downsizing of the car. The Smart Car has done very well in Europe with its ultra small size, modern design and good mileage, while MINI models have re-emerged to immense popularity.

These cars have proven popular with the environmentally conscious, people looking to save on petrol and looking for ease of parking. There is one obvious aspect that drivers are forced to sacrifice with an ultra compact car - the availability of space. Larger families might have trouble carrying bigger loads with just two seats and very little boot space.

Toyota has addressed this dilemma with its own take on the minicar, a four-seat passenger vehicle called the iQ Car. At just under 10 feet long and about 5-and-a-half feet wide, the iQ is an example of innovative design and technology - everything from the seating arrangements to the miniaturised front console controls is taken into account.

Economical, Green and Compact, for a small car the iQ has a lot going for it.
