Starters take a lot of power. Just a regular electric switch will not work because the wires have to be so big to handle the high Amp load. When you think of Amps, think of Volume. Think of Volts as pressure. You can have a lot of pressure in a small wire, but it must be contained.
Scion is a sub-brand of Toyota and a niche trade name aimed at young buyers. Founded in 2002, the Scion line is composed entirely of small vehicles powered by four-cylinder engines, with most models priced below $20,000.
The original Scion lineup, the xA and xB, consisted of a pair of rebadged, Japanese-market Toyotas. The Scion FR-S sports car was developed largely by Subaru. Now, Toyotaâs junior brand is bringing Mazda into the fold to supply the first Scion sedan. The 2016 Scion iA is based on the Mazda 2 (and is the only way U.S. buyers can get their hands on that car, which Mazda is not offering here). Itâs easy to be dismissive of a carmaker that doesnât actually make its own cars, but itâs difficult to fault Scion for this particular move.
