First Scion

2014 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I just bought my very first Scion Tc (2014) and love it! I never even considered this brand until I saw the car at the lot. And when I was told that Scion is made by Toyota, I was sold. The design is very impressive, a head turner! It's so much fun to drive and I don't like driving that much, but this car gives you back the fun of driving :)

This is an update to my original review. I now have over 11,000 miles, and not a problem. I had the oil changed at 5,000 miles, I did not want to wait till 10,000 miles with there free service. It was $43.00 total, worth the money. I had purchased the 3M chip protector for the car when new also. The car is spotless, I usually have tons of chips by now, because I travel through the mountains in the winter. I have never bought this product before, I would purchase it again, but price shop it. This was the first Toyota/Lexus product to pass the IIHS small overlap test. They have since resubmitted some models that did not pass and retrofitted to pass. I still get compliments on this car daily.

2014 Base Model Auto

Love tC, 06/24/2020
2014 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Traded my 2006 tC for the 2014 I currently own. Its a base model, so no Push-Start or rear wiper. It is just as roomy as some previous comments. The seats are comfortable yet form fitting. In the driver seat, it feels like a relaxed racing seat, keeping me in place. I bought this car a year ago, mostly stock (only the wheels were custom). 87,000 miles, now at 93K. it handles so well, accelerates quick enough (im getting modifications as I type this) My only gripe about this car is the economy sucks. (My previous gripe on the 2006 was, it needed a 6th gear, it was a 5 speed) My 2014 is an automatic, Ive just fitted a Borla "axle-back" exhaust to it and it did bump my MPG from 23.5 (avg) to 23.7-23.8 Its reliable, easy to maintain/fix, cheap to do so. Great looks. In summation, I would like the option for heated seats, reverse cam... Thats about all the changes I would make, other than another 20-30 HP. I love this car and its gorgeous. Plus, Ive never seen another tC in Cement Grey

I bought this car brand new and I highly recommend this car, I honestly would! Up to $180,000 miles and going strong. I've kept up the maintenance and it's pouring off!! Handles great, nice ride 👍 I wish this car could last forever 🤞

Perfect first car

Some people get pretty basic first cars, and there's nothing wrong with that. I was lucky to get something a little more than that. The 2014 tC has seen a pretty drastic exterior styling change from 2013, and while some say its bland (how?), I think it's just what this car needed. The lines are sharp and aggressive, and takes several styling cues from the F-rs. While the front grille and rear diffuser are nice, it really is a bit too much plastic. The wheels are also very nice. The interior is very well laid out, and the standard touch-screen display is great, but again, a little too much plastic. The ride is pretty good for its class, the acceleration is good, and the steering is above avg.
