This car is Fantastic! Not only is it a piece of art to look at, it's also a gem to own. You couldn't ask for more for your money. I recommend one to everyone.
The tC is da bomb!

This is one solid, sporty little head- turner! I can't count the favorable comments I've gotten on it - even from strangers. My main gripe is, I'm only 5'8" tall and I whack my head on the edge of the roof nearly every time I get in it. Of course, if it were an inch higher, the looks probably wouldn't be as sporty. And there's no place for maps, other than on the seats or in the optional $125 nylon carrier. The seat's extra firm and grips a bit too much, making long hauls a tad uncomfortable. I wish they were wider, and leather. The minuses are minor when compared with the quality and many little extra features you get for very little money. I LOVE IT!

I test drove the Mazda 3, VW GTI and Scion tC all in the same day. All had great features about them - Mazda felt more nimble, had 4 doors, and I like the design & the VW was the sportiest and had leather seats - but the tC was without a doubt the best overall value. And factoring in Toyota's reliability record compared to Mazda and VW and the haggle free selling approach I just couldn't pass up on the tC. Its stylish, comfortable, has tons of standard features that usually cost extra on other cars in this price range, and offers a decent amount of performance. Unfortunately, at around 8,000 miles, I started getting the sunroof "pop" and now there's a rattle coming from somewhere in my hatch :-\
Affordable fun

This car was clearly designed to appeal to people with expensive taste and small pocket books. When I look at it and drive it I identify with all kinds of european cars that I can't afford to purchase, maintain, or insure. I wasn't really going to buy a car, but when I drove it for a family member who couldn't locate one in their town, I fell in love with it and bought it. This car has a little bit of everything that I want: great handling, low end torque, interior comfort/convenience, many safety features, and a rediculously low purchase price. This car makes every other car in it's price bracket look like a total joke because they spent the money in the right places.
the perfect car

For the price and features combination, the tC can't be beat. The interior build quality and the sleek exterior make this the best sport-coupe for Gen-Y drivers. Not only is the car affordable, but it has a ton of features you won't see on other cars in the price segment. I got mine with the ground effects kit and the spoiler, and it looks like an expensive sports car. The interior is designed with usability in mind. All of the controls are easy to reach and are intuitive. The engine (which, by the way, is the same 2.4L, 160HP power plant you'll find in a Camry) is smooth and powerful. Overall, you won't be able to find a car with this many features at this price.
