the car has alot of good handling and has a nice takeoff without having any Performance parts. I think the interior is alright but the seats could be a little better.

This is by far the most fun car I've ever driven. The 160hp is more than ample power to handle everyday driving, not to mention beating Civics off the line. The center console is beautifully designed and well crafted without any dials that clash with the rest of the car, which is also with high quality materials. And with a laundry list of options, and aftermarket tuner parts by TRD and AEM, the fun with this car never stops. My only complaints are the blindspot in the driver side rear window and the gearshift. The shifter is loose. At a quick glance, first gear can look like third gear. A sinxth gear would be nice too. The engine revs a bit high travelling at highway speed.

I bought my scion in September and love riding it around the hills of Knoxville. It's such a smooth little speed dragon! I would recommend this car to anyone who wants performance with reliability.

Scion made this car for people who want to customize. It handles great, even with the stock Potenzas(Anyone wanting real handling needs to upgrade these) And for the price, how could they fit everything under the sun and still price it this low?

I took a test drive of about 10 miles in a 5-speed Scion tC today and felt it needs a lot more insulation for reduction of wind noise. The engine was fairly quiet at 3,000 rpms at about 70 mph. This car's rear cargo cover is not designed for use on a regular basis. It is very flimsy! Also, severely pulled to the right side when you took your hands off the steering wheel and when braking. I looked for the clutch reserivor and could not find it so a technician said it was included in with the brake reserivor so that eliminates having to put fluid in a seperate one. Changing my oil should be o.k. and the air cleaner is easy to get to. All the fluids were full and are easily accessible.
