Blast to Drive

2005 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

This is a world leader car in its class. It can compete with $30,000 cars in ride, handling, looks and personality. It is loaded with amenities and has the highest crash rating. The back seat is huge for a sports coupe. The Yokohama tires and 17 inch alloy wheels that are standard. Extremely underpriced.

I got my scion about 9 days ago and so far so good. I just wish it had better fuel efficiency. It has good standard features for this price, difficult to find in other cars. It has turned few heads :) Excellent room for the passengers in the back, easy to get in and get out. Nice interior and exterior design.

I love my car! I just got a week ago and I'm happy that I picked it over a Mazda 3. It has so many features, automatic windows, mirrors, doorlocks and sunroof! I like the way the windshield washer spray, they spray the entire windshield not just little streams of cleaner. The performance is pretty good and I like the interior! My sister's says its like a Lexus. Everywhere I go I get stares from people in other vehicles. They turn around all the way in their seat just to see what it is!! I love all the attention!

Amazing Car

By far the best car in it's class. When combined with the manual transmission the car feels a lot more exciting. You'll find it hard to believe you payed less than 20 grand.

Tall driver is very pleased

I have nothing but good things to say about my Scion tC ownership experience, even though the CNN review said that tall drivers would be cramped, I heartily disagree, I am 6'5 and 200 lbs. and I am completely comfortable thanks to the ease of adjustment of the seat. It handles like a dream and even coped with the large amount of snow we had last winter very well, thanks to the front wheel drive I was able to move about even in icy conditions. The stock stereo system is quite nice and the upgrade im sure is better. The air conditioning and recirculating feature is very effective in keeping the car cool and smelling nicely, Ive had it for a little over a year now and it still smells new.
