2006 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I've had it for 5+ years and it was my 1st big purchase after college. It's been good but I've had similar problems as some of the other posts written. Biggest problem was water pump going out at 67k, luckly it didn't heat and part was inexpensive. read trunk latch broke off, sunroof doesn't close all the way unless I hold down the wind blocker. Front seats don't go back to original position when accessing the back seat. Fun to drive tho and fairly roomy for a coupe, great on gas (avg 27 mpgs for me). The car also comes with good options in a standard package and has retained its value. Which is good cuz I'm ready to move on from coupes, tired of 2 doors and poor vision in coupes.
Sporty, Reliable, Fun to Drive!

Only common issue on certain TC is the hatch handle breaking but it can either be fixed entirely or just glued and it will be fine. Only other issue I have that is weird is some buttons for my climate controls only work sometimes. I have drove mine since 183,000 miles and have so far gotten in within a year to 189,000 miles. It is a fun car to modify and have fun with. And not very many things go wrong with it. i highly recommend one to people that want a sport car but can't exactly afford one or need a sporty car that is more practical. Great first car as well, this was my first car and I am very happy with my purchase!

well, this car has been pretty reliable, it's fun to drive, and it gets...decent gas mileage. and i mean decent. it gets 23 mpg, city or highway, always. yeah. not as good as i'd hoped but oh well. basically it's a good car, fun, reliable, safe.
Fun!

After one year of purchase I am selling for another Honda. My accord was totaled so I bought this. Bad mistake. This car is built very cheap and if you look hard enough you will very clearly see it. Driving it overtime you will see many things you hate. The moon-roof whistles so loud and there is no fix, embarrassing to have friends point out how annoying it is. But the worst thing yet is the MPG. averages between 22-26 and that's it! The rating is 19mpg for city! Just awful. Seriously look into another car before buying. Just test drive a Honda and you will immediately notice how bad the TC quality is.
