New 2011 Scion tC

2011 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

Just traded our 2007 tC for the new 2011 tC and so far we are very pleased. Went with Concrete color. Happy with the performance, ride and gas mileage. Love the new interior look. Just a few things they changed that I am not happy with. The headlights do not shut-off automatically as they did before. The windows do not automatically go up and down with just a "flick" of the switch. You have to hold it the whole time you open/close it (safety issue?) Also found odd that there is only one (1) back-up light that works. This is the way it was manufactured - I am having people tell me one of my back-up lights is out now. These changes could not have been that big of "cost-savings"?

This is my second car, now be it the first one was a 2006 Corolla and this car will last awhile. I have had this car for over two years now and have only had a minor fix on my sunroof. This car isn't that sport, but it is exactly what you get for the price. The back seats have surprisingly a lot of room. I have fit two people at the same time that where 6 '5 and they where comfortable. The speakers are very nice stock. Most people invest money into speakers that sound worse.

Young mans perfect car

2012 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

This car is great. Its really spacious and has plenty of cargo space for a 2 door. For the sporty look it is inexpensive but quality. Its not as gas effecient as i would have thought unless you really watch your throttle control but delivers on the 23 city, 30 highway MPG. Highly recommended for young guys who spend lots of time in their vehicle like myself 👍.

Great value for a fun car!

2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Love the interior and exterior. Got a 2012 used with 100,000 miles on it for under 8k out the door. This is the first car that the dash wraps slightly toward the driver for easier radio and climate controls. They call it cockpit seating and I love it. Purchased from a Toyota dealership and had been detailed plus new tires, fluid check, oil change and full safety inspection. Standard dual sunroof and long hatch gives the car tons of natural light and a roomy feel. So far so good for this TC owner.

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.
