Good Car

Review

The scion does have the problems mentioned in other reviews such as easily scratched paint and a little rattling and sealing issues. I recently had a problem where my parking brake light goes on and off even though it is completely down. However these are minor issues. I got a cute, sporty car that I can afford and I feel good about the Toyota reliability. I've never had any tire problems but I would watch those bumps! They'll get the under-side of the body before they'll ever get the tires. Overall, a very good, reliable car that gets compliments.

Favorite Features

Music control on steering wheel, good sound, a cool--almost manly-- interior, moonroof, extra optional features

Suggested Improvements

Paint protection or paint warranty, better seals around doors.

what I didn't know about Toyota

Review

I bought a Toyota SCION TC for my daughter, I did not buy an extended warranty because of the 60,000 mile 5year warranty that came with the vehicle.The car started to give her problems with a leak into the passenger compartment.With 2 visits they finally stopped the leak. Next came the blower motor that failed.By this time my car had gone by the 60,000 miles that was covered under the warranty.At 73,000 miles my engine failed.I called Toyota who offered to reimburse me for $500.00. A new engine is over $4000.00. In conclusion, I feel there could have been a compromise to this situation. Thanks for listening.

Review

I bought this car to replace my cavalier. I absolutely loved everything about it. It was cute, fun to drive, the layout inside the car was great. Very spacious. I owned it up until today (October 1, 2009). I was hit by an SUV going 55 mph on the passengers side, and smashed into a guardrail. The car was totaled, but the safety features on it really saved my life. I got out of the car with a few scratches and a busted lip from the airbag. So I will give all plus's safety wise. So any concerned parents for safety check it out. A beautiful good quality car, great sound system, spacious, and a great car to drive!

Favorite Features

Love the space in the car.The sound system is perfect, I love having the music cranked up. AC worked great in the southern Florida heat.The heat worked well in the cold Indiana weather. I love the overall look of the car. Safe, reliable, never had any problems with it, overall a good buy for the $

Suggested Improvements

I guess my only complaint would be with the driving in snow part. It was pretty hard commuting to school in the snow, go extra slow, it slid around a bit. But other than that I can think of no real improvements needed.

not worth the money

Review

DO NOT BUY A SCION. I have a 2007 scion 3.0 with the third supercharger and let me say it is a piece of junk and dealing with scion themselves is horrible that is why the saying "you get what you pay for" is soooooo tru. I paid $4500 for a s.c.that give you only 40 more h.p. and everything in the car just falls apart and when you tell scion what goes wrong they just point at you and laugh. So word of advice. DO NOT BUY ONE!!!!! TRUST ME>>>

Favorite Features

looks beautiful and its fun at first until it starts making a bunch of noises. Such as wind noises because of the poor quality of the seals in the glass.

Suggested Improvements

Everything, better quality parts make a solid top for the car not all of that cheep glass. way to many problems.

Review

I guess we didn't do our homework. When it rains or snows we do not use this car at all. You are all over the road. We wanted a good dependable car all year round, but not with this. We even bought winter tires and it did not help the problem. We didn't realize when it is a high performance car there is not much weight to the car abd thus you are all over the road when the weather turns bad.

Favorite Features

love the sun roof

Suggested Improvements

the appearance of the car is great, but make it that it isn't a high performance car.

Review

Now, first off, I am sick of people complaining on here about the mileage, yes, it is a small car, and the Corolla does get better mileage, but this car has a 2.4L engine, and the Corolla has a 1.8L on 95% of them. And, most people complaining are driving it to hard, that's the problem. Secondly, complaining about rattles? Well, when you buy a cheap compact car....that is what you get, thats why Mercedes cost a lot. This car gives you what you need, a GREAT sound system, PHENOMENAL Wheels, DAZZLING looks, SURPRISING Space and Comfort, and 60 cubic feet of space when the rear seats fold down flat....it is practical and sporty. This car DESTROYS the Civic Si, because the Si is more expensive..

Favorite Features

Sound System, Perfect stock wheels, Great interior and exterior looks, comfortable seats, intelligently layed out interior design, flat folding rear cargo area, 4 Wheel ABS for safety, and 7 airbags for safety. Oh, and the HANDLING!!!

Suggested Improvements

Perhaps they could increase the power of the 2.4l engine by a little bit, but this is so minor, trust me, this car is for sure the most you can get for the money.

Review

Love the car,not sure if the paint will hold up in the az. sun I do keep it covered during the day and in garage at night. Can't find out any info on the older models and the paint on the 2005-2006 tc I have the black color. The car is fun to drive very peppy and has all the things I need in a car. I recommend the car always when asked about it.

Review

Turns around curves good. Zippy.. holds it's own, passes well. Black cherry color has got many compliments. It's an all around good car for going to/from work. I wouldn't drive it in the deep snow. On long trips the seats killed my back. Not much room inside for toting alot of luggage on a long trip - else all good. After 57K no problems with the mechanical. 30mpg highway

Favorite Features

I like that it came with all the options in the price. Nice stereo/CD, moon roof, all electric, cruise, etc

Suggested Improvements

Paint gets bugs and sap and scratches, road dings and fall out from trucks so easy and they won't come out. Those tires are terrible. Wore out so easily and are so expensive to replace. Alignment goes out every tire rotation, tire light stays on too after repeated tire pressure checks at 58K

Great Car For The Money

2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

One of the best cars on the market under 20Grand.Plenty of available features, Smooth shifting transmission, nice sound system. Plenty of room for customization. Great entry level performance car.

Favorite Features

iPOD connectivity, interior styling is different than anything else on the market. Capable 2.4L I4. Tons of cargo room with the rear seats down.

Suggested Improvements

Low profile tires get VERY expensive, dark interior attracts a lot of dust.

Review

I bought my car for myself for my 18th birthday and I love it. I was debating between the tC and the Civic but once I was in the tC I knew I had to have it. I love the radio controls on the steering wheel and the whole design of the car. I have to agree with some reviews here that say it is a little hard to stay under the speed limit with this car =). I have had a few tires issues with this car. Had to replace 2 in about 2 years but overall i am extremely pleased with this car

Favorite Features

sporty look, moonroof/sunroof, radio controls on steering wheel, performance

Suggested Improvements

different color for the inside lights..don't like the orange... I do like how we can control the radio display colors...wish it was that way for all the inside car displays! Better tires
