One of the first to own one in St Louis, feels really good to have people looking and ask what it is. The Flint Mica is awesome! It has suprising response although a little slower than I'd like changing from first to second when getting on the highway, but makes up for it when it does shift. (Still learning how to play with my metallic baby!) Put over 500 hundred miles on it the first week! Really fun to drive, GOOD PRICE!!! GREAT PACKAGE!!!
Great car for great price
The ride is a little rough over bumps, but its a blast to drive; good pick up, great handling on curves, good sound system, beautiful exterior.

Great Car - Great Value
I saw this auto (the TC) online and told my college age kids I wanted one. They said "how do you even KNOW about them ?"I wanted a light blue one, hard to track down but my dealer got it and the dealership then had people trying to buy it while it was parked out front waiting for me to pick it up. It was love at first sight for me. Driving it makes me feel happy. Valet parkers rave over it. The price as amazing and everything was included. Although designed for the young, it is also great for the young at heart!
More than you might expect
When reviewing this car one must be realistic. I feel that for the price sold this car delivers magnificantly. Beginning with the exterior, a quick walkaround will elicit several head turns with sexy yet subtle curves. The interior is intuitively designed. Quality was not sacraficed in order to preserve low costs, and this is apparent with just one quick upon the snug sport bucket seats. The engine is extremely smooth with firm acceleration (0-60 in 7.7 w/AT) while the steering is tight arounf corners and in the city. Zipping for spots on the expressway is no problem. All things considered, the tC is a soild investment that will return huge smiles.
Impressed by the Value
I was introduced to the Scion tC while shopping for a new Toyota. At first I wasn't interested in the tC having never heard of the car, but all that changed after I test drove one. The performance was very impressive. It accelerated and handled more like an expensive sports car than like an inexpensive sports coup. The exterior styling impressed me as well. It is clean and subtle with an elegant front end. Following my test drive I was introduced to a very long and impressive list of features that came standard with the $16,500 base price. I added a few additional accessories and purchased a car that I believe to be the best value in a small car in today's market.
