I took several trips in this car. I love the way it handles curves and turns on a dime. The car also has some pep that i really admire.
Super TC

This is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. I have owned BMW Infiniti and a host of others and the TC holds up to the more expensive brands. I have had this car over a month and it is excellent. Gas mileage so far is 27 mpg which is excellent. It is superb in handling, acceleration and overall performance. My friends cannot believe the quality of this car for a small price, it looks more expensive than it is. People don't believe me when I tell them the price. Scion has a winner with this car.

The new Scion tC seems to be the same car in a new wrapper. The 2.5L inline-4 doesn't provide enough power to make this car feel sporty. The huge C-pillars present the driver with large blind spots. The large rear quarter panels also make the car look longer and heavier than it needs to be.
Worst car ive ever driven

This car was constantly breaking down and always had a new issue. I am so happy I don't have this car anymore and was able to get rid of it before I got hurt because of it.

I absolutely love this car! I've owned 6 of them in my lifetime. I bought my first scion TC in 2012, right off of the lot. I was one of the first people in my state to get the Cement Gray color. I got that one how I wanted, fog lights, spoiler etc. Unfortunately, I was only 19 at the time and I should've treated it better. I bought a dark grey 2011 one after that, sold it a couple of years later. No issues. I bought a 2012 white one a few years later, no issues. Sold that one as well. It seems as if I always go back to the TC. I now 4 cars, two of which are TCs (2011 & 2012). I have no issues with them. I tinted them out and add a backup camera and they instantly become my most comfortable/practical cars! I get great gas mileage with them, and I have no mechanical issues to date. Maintenance is very cheap. I bought the 2012 Scion in January 2023. Since then, I've driven it to LA from Phoenix 3 times, to Las Vegas and back once, all around New Mexico and Mexico... It's my road trip car. It's currently in Texas and I drive it back and forth to Austin and Dallas once a week. I have 138k miles on it and I picked it up for $6500. It's an unbeatable value. Finding a car with a panoramic roof, excessive space, amazing sound system, good styling in conjunction with exceptional reliability in that price range is unheard of! Literally, the only car for me is the Scion TC when it comes to a daily driver, bar none! I highly recommend this vehicle.
