I just picked up a 2015 Scion TC RS manual and I must say I am so impressed! This little car is eye catching everywhere I go, it is quick and nimble, hugs corners so nicely, great acceleration and it sounds real nice! It is nice to have 6 gears too. And the clutch is so smooth! It is a comfortable ride. I see people saying it appears cheap on the inside but I don't have that opinion at all. The interior is nice! The orange accents are so attractive. Nothing cheap looking in this car. And considering it has a Camry engine? You cannot go wrong with this car! Anything associated with Toyota is top notch in my book. It looks like a sports car and feels like one too. Sure it may not be as fast as actual sport cars like the FR-S or the BRZ but personally I don't need that. It is zippy and gets me off the line quickly and leaves most in the dust! Road noise is not a bother to me because I like how the engine sounds! It would be nice to have backup cam but honestly this car does it for me in so many way I don't even miss it!

I love this car. I’m the original owner since 2013 and I plan on being the only owner. It’s the perfect consumer daily sport car. Its 2.5L 4 cylinder offer just the right amount of zip without sacrificing gas mileage coming in at about 25 in the city and mid 30s highway. Its suspension offers great handling and very fun to drive personality. A lot of people talk about the features and interior being bland but I think it’s perfect. I’m a simple person and I have exactly what I need and no more. The stock stereo system with its 3 each door speakers and 2 in rear make for a stock system that rivals most. Cargo capacity is unmatched for a vehicle in the same class with its fold flat rear seats and open hatch. I can pack a 65” tv in the box in the back with room to stack another 3 smaller ones on top as well as being able to pack a bunch of 8’ long posts. When I do have passengers in the back I’ve never had a complaint about leg room in fact it’s the opposite, with them awing at how much room the have and how surprised they were. I personally don’t have many cons other than if you live somewhere there’s a lot of leave the a/c gets backed up and leaks into the passenger side but it’s a quick fix. Overall it’s fun and sporty, standing out with its unique body style and when it comes to everyday errands, it handles almost anything you can throw at it. Where it lacks in fancy unnecessary features it makes up for in its usability for daily life while still being fun to drive. I dread the day it’s taken it last ride and I have to find something new because nothing will match it. I think a modern version with its simplicity and sporty style, yet very versatile capabilities would do extremely well in todays market.
