Had my 09 tC for two months - adore it! Superb performance and handling. Response is crisp and solid. Rides low to the ground. No problems with build quality or function. Great cruise control. No acceleration delay, very quick off the line and smooth pickup. The premium 160 watt stereo is incredibly loud - too much bass at times but terrific iPod control. Love the panoramic moonroof. My only complaints are that the gauges are hard to read in daylight, esp the speedometer. Don't like the orange gauge lights - wish they could change to blue like the stereo can. I'm 6' tall and the back seat is very cramped but I never sit there anyway! Doors are a little long. Great value for the price.

Just purchased a 2010 Scion Tc, with 84 miles on it, from the dealer on Sunday and drove it to work on Monday. The car is supper noisy and handles squirrelly at high freeway speeds. Plus my back hurts from the seats. Took it back to the dealer the next day and he wanted to discount 4k off of what I paid for it. I really what to get rid of it, any suggestions?

I know this car is not classified as the fastest car .But I will tell you this its quick enough. If your a daily street racer and want to pull up alongside people this is not the best car to pick a challenge with but you can beat some cars that you probably thought had more HP then you due to the aerodynamics Being a coup.Its 2020 now and I own a 2009 and its its still a sexy looking car .What is nice is that you can upgrade the perfect rims and tires lower it 2inches and it look sick .I have a k&n intake and spec exuast ,and gives nice tone next is my tuneup with better expensive plugs and wires I will replace all my sensors in a day and purchase a better MAF sensor that will add more power as well .Also The car can take cornors like a Lotus stick's to the road like tape .I feel it's a quicker car now but before was a lil slow but its quick enough and will handle going over 120 into 140 easy but never went that fast yet? In this tc .People in 2020 still give this car compliments daily ,They think it's a car they forgot they had at one time very weird but love it and will continue to explore more aftermarket stuff for this car to one day be somthing people will wanna go back in the past to decide to buy it from me .But I'm too attached it's nice. Get the white or black or flint mica one best colors in this car ,The PR women love it ..

I bought my tC Brand new in 2009! I loved it for awhile, I love the look of my car and its great on gas other then that I was dissappointed! I lose control of my car in the wind! getting around in the snow is a joke! Went through the stock tires around 12k, the air conditioner sucks, anyone over 6 foot will be cramped in your car, my car is always in the shop for something! very basic..... I was in a car accident, I was very surprise how good it held up. The other car was totalled, while mine needed just a big dent repair! I would advise someone to really consider your options and rule Scion out!

Just picked the car up today. I love the ride and handling. A truly fun car to drive. I do not have problems with headroom (I am over 6 ft tall). Gas mileage is ok.. Could be slightly better but good nonetheless. I am a bit jaded, coming from a Nissan Versa.
