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!!!

I was about to buy a base civic because i did not want to spend too much money on a commuter car. At the same time, I didn't want to drive a car that was only going to get me there - I wanted something that looks good that is reliable, quality, and aesthetically nice! I told my wife that if I could get us an automatic (her choice) with her minimum requirements for $17.5k would she let me do the shopping. The result: 2005 tC for $17.7k. I drove it from southern cal north and drove the long drive home with a big, big smile on my face. My wife just saw it today - and she's in love with it. Thanks Scion for a bad ass little car.

The first true Scion vehicle made by Toyota really shines above the competition. I love this car.

great car, looked at the jetta TDI but with a price of 5k more this was a better deal plus it has a toyota motor.You can get a better car but you would have to pay a lot more for it. drives great, lots of looks. gets good mpg as long as you keep your foot out of it.

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.
