overall the vehicle is great. mileage is average. this car needs about another 60 horsepower and road noise needs to be reduced. it has a beautiful, smooth body style. an little more than average interior. it should have more after market style. it is difficult to get any after market accessories. for example air intake; turbo; exterior lights.

I bought my Scion tC for my long commute. It is fun to drive and gets decent gas mileage. You can also buy Toyota TRD upgrades that can add some more vroom without voiding your warranty. I like it!

Since I drive 172 miles each day to and from work, I needed something economical, this car was that and more. I love the even more since owning it. It's very reliable and since buying it I have not had any problems with this car. I am consistent with oil changes and tire rotation. This car rocks.

People really love the looks of this car. It is a real bargain for that price. Manual transmission version is surprisingly quick. A lot of tire noise.

I traded in a 2001 Acura Integra GSR for a 2005 Scion TC, that was the biggest mistake in my life car wise. My scion was in the shop 13 times in 3 months. The windshield was replaced bc it broke due to bad weather stripping. The rear hatch panels as well at the glove box were all replace. There are to many problems to list but this car was a nightmare, I traded it in after just 9 months
