Not really a first drive but an interesting article about Aerodynamics including the iQ.

I hadn't looked for iQ reviews on YouTube in awhile and there are quite a few now.  This one is a little different.

Tom Ford from Fifth Gear drives the iQ in the latest episode.
It is quite a thorough review by Fifth Gear standards, and he absolutely loves it!
Only negative parts: fourth seat almost useless and the 1.0 is a bit on the slow side.
