Scion tC 2002-2015Change

Love this car. Great fun to drive.

Pros:
Just enough power without being overwhelming. Also it comes with excellent sport tires that have great traction.

It looks great too. I always get compliments on it.
Excellent features too (18" rims, panoramic sunroof, reclining rear seats)

Massive cargo space thanks to the hatch. You can actually sleep back there!

Also the steering wheel. This might seem odd but the big chunk wheel is a joy to use. Feels great in the hands.

The best part about this car is the reliability. It used the Camry engine which has high parts availability and is practically bulletproof.

Cons:

Visibility is tight sometimes but just mind your surroundings and you will be fine.

Suspension is on the stiff side (took me a while to get used to it) but I personally like it now, especially in the corners. Not as fuel efficient as a Corolla but it definitely won't break the bank.

Also the interior isn't the best. Cheap plastics. Keep your hands to the steering wheel and shifter though and it won't be a problem.

Easy to manoeuvre, this car has a lot of pep. Nimble when moving in traffic. Excellent on gas. Fun to drive (manual). Sporty with double sunroof & tinted windows.

I really enjoyed my experience with the Scion tC because I never dropped with a break, she has never costed expensive gasoline, all while comfortable

I have owned this car for over a year and not had one single problem. I get great fuel efficiency and it is a very smooth ride.
I love that it has the looks of a 4 door even though it is a 2 door.

My only complaint would be the back seat has a very low roof so can be uncomfortable for people to sit in , but I rarely use it except for storing shoes!

I recently got this car, and i love it each day ! it feels great ! really comfortable to drive, and has a lot of power ! Great sound System and much more ! the Special edition RS 7.0 or 8.0 are even a greater design and a much better feel !

I highly suggest to get this car. Test drive it, get it, you won't regret !

This car is the most comfortable ride I've driven to date - I even have a bed in the back with the rear seats folded down - have bed will travel I say :)) Lots of get up and go and great fuel economy and the sunroof and moonroof are terrific when traveling or sleeping under the stars - the hatchback makes it perfect for the Drive-in experience cuddled up in the back too ;)

I've got lots of pictures of mine being totally utilized and multi-tasking :)

This is my review after 30 thousand KMs.

I have had fun with my tC. It's aggressive styling and overall options in 2011 were a good bang for the buck. However I have had a few issues. Sometimes the fuel door won't open, the sunroof brackets were faulty and made a terrible rattling noise (fixed under warranty). The interior pieces are basic and cheap. The overall treatment in the interior is very early 2000s. The dash design is nice however it lacks any perks or amenities. Dealer installed bluetooth works most of the time although with the road noise using an iPhone 4s Siri never knows what the heck i'm saying. Others on the phone think the same. The stereo is above average. Good range from low to high but the head unit ruins it. The 8 inch woofers in the doors are drowned out by poor door panel design rattles.

Overall performance is decent. Although the car is quite heavy and the electric steering doesn't provide any good feedback. the transmission in the 6 speed is noisy at low speeds and very noticeable. The 6th gear could be a lot longer. 6th gear at 120km/hr the engine is at 3k RPM. There is only a 500 RPM difference from 5th and 6th so I skip 5th all together.

Overall the car is good but could definitely be a lot better. Would that have drove up the costs too much to appeal to the younger crowd? Who knows.

Had this vehicle - and absolutely loved it. Phenomenal pick up and go..sound system was fanastic. and great on gas..
