Bought this car as a rollover with 700 miles, fixed it up, now has 55,000. Great car, very fun to drive especially cuz its standard, sound system is pretty good. Very happy with it, has never broken down... Its also very hard to get stuck, its amazing how rough of terrain you can drive it over with it being so low to the ground. I have also managed over 34 mpg out of it. A's across the board for this one, another great car from Toyota.

The tC is really fun to drive. I bought it based on the Low Price & Toyota's Quality. It has plenty of power & the handling is excellent. I found myself wanting a 6th gear since it tachs 3K at 65. Also, 1st gear is very short causing you to shift almost immediately to 2nd & overall it’s hard to shift the tC smoothly, but it does have very good acceleration. The tC's exterior is a piece of art & I wouldn't change a thing. The interior layout is great, the gauges are easy to read, & the seats are very comfortable with plenty of adjustments for the driver. The arm rest could be a little longer and ditto about the flimsy radio cover. A great car for $16,500!

I absolutely love my Scion tC. It's such a fun little car to drive. It has lots of get up and go...and a lot of good looks as well. I get a lot of compliments on my car too. I have had no problems with my tC. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that is looking for a fun, sporty car but wants a fairly priced one too. I can't believe all you get for the price! I got mine in a week and a half. You can't beat that! I love my Scion! I am a very proud owner.
