One of the beauties about the IQ is that the tax for the year will only set you back €104. This is because its engine technology means carbon dioxide emissions have broken the crucial sub-100g/km level. How nice of the government to incentivise drivers to purchase such an economical car with such low road tax.
However, the IQ is exempt – yes, that’s right, EXEMPT from road tax in the UK. So not only are we paying a higher price for cars here, we’re also paying car tax for the privilege of driving on bad roads when the neighbour next door is whizzing around with €104 (whatever that is in sterling) in their back pocket! That money could be put towards a nice pair of shoes which would go lovely with the car. How annoying!
