The car is cheap. The interior is cheap and the there isnt alot of room in the car. The backseats dont have much room. At a stoplite when I am in front, the car next to always beats me.

Not only one of the coolest cars ive ever driven, but with a LOAD of features that will knock ur socks off. Toyota build quality feels same as my Lexus IS 300 i bought back in 2003. Very Agile and the weight of the car makes it feel more expensive than it really is. With the power everything, sunroof, reliability, etc... id pay $22,000+ for this car as it has features not even $30,000 cars have. Strong first and 2nd gear on the manual is amazing and smokes people off the line. I get looks from the chicks all the time in this bad boy, a real head turner.

Let's see here, I've owned the car since 2007 and I've had nothing but a hard time. Scion is of no help either. They can only say they have made a note but have no pending open recalls or other complaints about the car. I have no working radio, a sunroof that squeals, breaks that pop and make noises, a front bumper that looks like it is holding on by floss, the rear hatch plastic is about to break off (I've seen other Scions with tape holding up the part), over all I've found the car to be sub-par with what Toyota has made in the past.

I bought this car a year into college. I have always been a big fan of Toyotas, and the Scion brand offered many options standard for a reasonable price. There probably isn't a better overall car you can buy for 17k brand new in the U.S. Since its a big 4 cylinder 2.4 liters, I would expect a bit more horsepower, at least 175-180. Overall it's a great car, fuel efficient, very reliable, unique styling, Lexus like interior, fairly priced. This is definitely a great car to give to your high school grad.

I have had this car for a couple months and I love it! This is my first coupe and I was a little hesitant but I am am glad I went with the scion. It has tons of space.
