Scion tC

[shockz]

I'm really leaning toward getting a Scion tC

I've googled around and from what I've found, they are pretty solid cars.

However, does anyone here have one? Any major problems or headaches?

[allaemx]

i bought a brand new 2010 one 2 months ago. ill list a couple of things that bother me

not the smoothest ride, after all is a sport suspension

car has alot of leg room front and back seats, but not very much head space if you're taller then 5'9"

long heavy swinging coupe doors of course

engine sometimes gets loud, like a fan would turn on sortve like a computer would if it gets hot

no interior lights for feet, glovebox, and trunk

the car, however is good for the price tag. i did alot of research before buying and i went with the tc.

two major sweet things about it is, very high resale value, and reliability of toyota.

It's a Toyota for the "cool kids"

yep, low cost new car for kids (high school to college drivers). some creature comforts are not there and suspension isn't there. you want a better sport suspension, go bmw. you want comforts get a better car (in the low to mid $20s usd (starting prices) for new).

get it, i think the tC seats roll back completely flat so it makes sexing easier.

and it's very loud road/engine noise.

Thanks. :)

Went there last weekend, and they were all out of stock.

I may have to order one, however they are expecting to be resupplied by October, which is probably when my ordered one will come in.

where do you live again shockz?

people always talk about ford focus and scions being out of stock and what not, but every dealer i pass by, the lot is full of them.

The only thing I'd say is, if you're buying is stock, then all that matters is reviews (plentiful on youtube) and your drive test.

If you want to however invest "performance" mods in the car, you're better off getting a Mazdaspeed 3 instead which has 261HP and 270 torque and is one the best handling FWD cars out there. It even beats the AWD Impreza WRX in handling.

Ohio, the lots are completely empty around here. Cash for clunkers appears to have been a hit by me.

Yeah. I did all the performance "enhancements" with my last car. This time I'm going to stay mostly stock. The tC is no speed demon, but it should have enough power to get up and go in a reasonable amount of time. :) 261HP in a light car like the 3 would probably get me into trouble. :p

The MS3 is a demon once modded. I do like the looks of the tC though.

I thought about picking up a tC...

I ended up sticking with it's older brother though...haha

[Randolph]

yeah the tC is the sister of the celica haha

i was just in one a few days ago...skunk2 exhaust, megan headers, hids, lowered on teins 2". it pulls you. i was shocked...for a stock motor, it really does pull. 5 speed also.

going down the block from a dead stop...you get pulled back into the seat and as you chirp through gears it has that "kick".....such a lovely car. i want one now lol.

Probably because you're in LA.
