My first car. I got the Release Series 1.0 in Absolutely Red. My RS numbers is 1790 of 2500. Great car especially for the "first car" experience. Greate price and very dependable seeing as how its from toyota. Overall a great buy for any age.

At around 19,500 after taxes/tags, you can't beat the comfort and performance of the 06 Scion Tc. I absolutely love every minute of driving it

Bought it 3 years ago, and got screwed by the dealer, but after having most of the major engine systems replaced, its not a bad little car. What they don't tell you about is the exploding moon roof in high heats ( Nevada heat with air conditioner on) and exploding GLASS wind break for moon roof. It is not recommended that you drive over 45 mph with your moon roof open.. WTF More info on line, about the recalls and "fix". 24-26 MPG non commuting city, wish that was better. Its got some get up and go but its hard to maintain that speed for long. Best freeway cruising speed is only 70ish, anything over 80 for long distances, sucks. I'm 6'4" and fit remarkably well in the drivers seat. Its a fairly easy car to work on. The lift gate latch is a common problem, but easily replaceable your self. Dealer wanted $750+ to replace the moon roof glass wind shield, my cost under $100 and 45 minutes, same with the lift gate latch. $120 OEM part, already painted, 20 minutes to change out. Would I buy another one? Most likely no but I would by a second generation tC. it seems to have less issues, and much better styling. There's a few great Scion forums on line, with lots of useful info. It may be a Toyota under it all but Toyota doesn't stand by the Scion line at all.

I had this car for six months and all was going well until I came home from work one day. I was in the house for five minutes and my car spontaniously combusted. They told me it was an electrical short. Enjoy!!!!!!!
