Love it...but having mpg problems
I love it-- it's a great car, and it drives great. However, has anyone else been having gas mileage problems? It's supposed to get 23-29 mpg, but I've tested it twice and mine only gets 15 mpg! This is really scary, and I know I'm figuring it out right. But besides that, I've had no problems with it. If anyone else has noticed their tC's gas mileage is considerably worse than it should be, please respond in a review.

Small Hatchback with a Peppy Attitude
The Scion tC is so much fun to drive and I get very good gas mileage with it. It gets me from point A to point B with style, speed, and great gas mileage. I love it more than any other car I've had so far.
Bazooka Problems
I like almost everything about the car minus the Bazooka speaker installed in the rear. Discovered a problem on one rainy Guam night. The spare tire and accessories are impossible to reach unless you disassemble the bazooka and remove it. Remove the speaker grill, take six screws out around the speaker, search for two bolts in the interior of the box and remove, disconnect the wiring harness. I reinstalled mine loose with a cargo strap over it. Ugly but effective. Duhhhh Bazooka, Quick Disconnects maybe?
New Scion TC Series 1.0
Real Cool Car. This car looks great in absolute red!! This series 1.0 is #6 of 2,500. This one includes the TRD Exhaust, Rear Pedestal Spoiler and Ground Effects. The car handles great!!! The 18 inch rims help with the handling and ride better than I thought. If the TRD supercharger becomes available this will be added for sure. The car is quick but an additional 40 hp would be great. I really like the fact that the car feels roomy for such as small car. The car stereo is actually quite good. I also like the fact that Scion offers so many accessories at a great price. You can customize the car to your liking. Oh I also like the fact the car is a Toyota and of good quality.
