Living in the hustle and bustle of the city requires a reliable vehicle. A pre-owned Scion is an ideal option, helping you tackle the many transportation-related challenges of city life from long commutes to maneuvering through heavy traffic.
Compact and Versatile: Why a Pre-Owned Scion Is Perfect for City Living in Colorado
Favorable Fuel Economy
City dwellers typically have long drives that come with frequent stops at traffic lights and during traffic jams. This usually means burning through fuel quickly. Between the need to refuel often and the hiked-up costs of living in the city, those living in bigger cities can best benefit from a car with great fuel economy. A used Scion can be the solution.
With an estimated gas mileage ranging from 21 to 32 MPG in the city and 29 to 41 MPG on the highway for 2016 Scion models, the efficient performance of even older Scions is a good choice. Apart from saved fuel costs, the better mileage of Scions allows for improved energy efficiency, less wear on the engine, and longer drives per tank.
Traffic Congestion-Friendly
Bigger cities bring more traffic. With more residents, there are typically more lanes on roads, fewer parking spots available, and more vehicles & pedestrians to dodge. Fortunately, the smaller size of Scions gives drivers the opportunity to pass slow cars easily, zip through crowded areas, and fit into tight parking spaces.
Used Scions are also traffic congestion-friendly due to their steerability. The light, quick handling of older Scion models can keep you in momentum with unpredictable traffic changes and the need for fast merging or lane changes. Scions can also stop quickly in the event that someone cuts you off or a pedestrian shoots out in front of you last second.
Good Reputation
When buying any vehicle, especially pre-owned, you want an option that you can fully trust and rely on. Scions offer the good reputation of Toyotas thanks to their durability, low maintenance, and longevity, all without the higher price tag. A vehicle with a good reputation is valuable anywhere, but in city limits, a reliable car that won’t break down during a long, busy commute is critical.
Modern Technology
The technology features of various Scion models can differ from one another. However, even some of the older models include great tech features to make city commutes safer and more convenient. Backup cameras, Bluetooth connectivity, and a built-in navigation system are just some features you might find in an older Scion that those living in a city may want. Used Scions might not have every single bell and whistle you want, but for their affordability, their technology is desirable.
