First Scion
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 :)
Still going strong
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
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

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.
