Great value for a first time buyer!

The Tc is great. I am a first time buyer with no regrets. I looked all around and couldn't find a car with these features anywhere, for the price tag on the Tc. I get heads turning everywhere I go. It rides as smooth as a high end car, and the reliability of the car is great. People I know were doubting my car till they saw it and drove it. Even the ones that just rode in the passenger seat loved it. I couldn't have picked a better first car then the Tc. All my friends wanted one before my arrived from the factory. The only thing that was difficult for me was waiting for it to come in from the factory.

My TC is just great. It rides good and handles like a sports car while getting great gas mileage. It is built better than most cars costing 10,000 more.

I've had this car a week now and I am loving it. It is great fun to drive and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I drove several other makes and models before deciding on the tC and boy am I glad I did. The handling is great, the acceleration is more than I need and all the options are stellar.

A Fun Car

I am over 70 and have ownwd cars three times the price of my tC. However, I have never been as fond of an automobile as I am of this one. It handles as if I am part of the road and I find the seats most comfortable and with more than ample room. My tC has features that are not present in my wife's full-size sedan. The radio and sound system are quite satisfactory and the controls are attractive as well as well-placed. While simple in design, I find the exterior lines attractive. I am a large person, yet find more than ample leg and head room. While certainly not a "family" car, I would certainly recommend the Scion tC to anyone looking for a fun second car.

I bought this car when my '02 Honda Accord was wrecked beyond repair, I had to find a car around the same price range as the accords value. I liked the look of the tC from the outside but did not expect it to stand up to my accord, but it did. The personalization options are great and I love the original interior design and the awesome standard panoramic sunroof, blinking mirrors, and keyless entry programmed into the key definetly turn heads!!!
