I was planning to buy a Scion TC too, but decided to get a Honda Civic instead. First off, I think a TC is super duper cute. The exterior and interior are both clean and well-made. Plus, it's a Toyota so fixing it will be alot cheaper than other cars. However, I test drove a TC and found it somewhat slow and "heavy". It took a couple seconds for it to speed up and my friends who currently have it say that it gets like 22-24 mpg local (A Civic gets about 28ish). Those friends also told me that the interior is "plasticy" and that the sunroof doesn't work properly after a couple months. Most of them are waiting to change their cars. Anyways, I then drove a Civic coupe and found that car more attractive and dependable.. HOWEVER! I would recommend a TC as a cute car and whatnot. If you don't really mind too much about the performance and will be using it just for your daily life (going to school, work, etc), I would say go for it! But honestly, if you're looking for something more dependable and the same price range, I would highly recommend a Civic coupe. Now that car is sexy

I love my Scion...for now.It's an ok car I guess but I always have second thought about everything so yeah. What i like is that little oomphh here and there when you drive.Love the color (black) and what you can do with the scion. It has the sporty look to it. I test drive both of the scion & honda civic...honestly many people say civic beat it but I don't think so. It doesn't feel like a coupe when I drive civic. My mom has a honda accord and it just feel the same driving that coupe. I say go for the Scion tc.

I saw a x4 series came out...before I bought this 08.I wished I waited because it has more stuff for a few thousand.

I love my scion. Had for for a while now and everything seems to be working fine. YeS, The scion is heavy, as kween x jenn mentiuoned. but I am not looking for a fast car, i am going all for show. The scions are extremely bad arse looking when you add tint, rims, and a body kit to it. The scion can look very sexy with suttle adjustments to it. As i said, and I will say it again, I love my scion. If you drive it very well and slow, you do average about 29 mpg gallon. But if you are looking for efficiency for gas, the civic gets about 35 mpg.

i'd say its a good car for someone our age(20s and below). not the best on gas but not too bad either. im satisfied with performance as far as daily driving, and its easy to drive. it comes with lots of standard features(esp the 2008). the car is kind of "heavy"(little under 3000 lbs) but i kind of like it that way.. or i got used to it. ive had mine for about 8 months now and no problems with anything(of course there shouldnt be!)

whatever you do, i wouldnt get a civic. just because....

wow another scion tc thread. lol.

My friend has a Scion Tc. Its a nice small car and I love the sunroof. He has about 35k miles on it and it gave him no problems whatsoever. His sunroof works fine, radio still good, his sound is great, no tranny problems or any overheating or engine problems. Although I agree that it does feel "heavy" but not as heavy as my GTI lol =D

I drove my friend's tC before and the immediate thing I noticed was that steering is EXTREMELY smooth.

ohthanks guys:)

yeeeh. i hear its a "heavy" car . . .
im still debating but thanks for the input.
haha i need to test drive itttt

[killer_lullaby]

i LOVVEEEE my scion
ive had it for little over a year now
and since i got the special edition in pearl white
it makes it even more special to me
but the only con is yeah it is heavy but for me gas wise
i almost spent the same amount on my old car

[mikez]

lol the scion weights as much as the enzo ferrari... minus 8 more cylinders

I dont think tc is heavy, its just underpower, you want something that dont feel sluggish, get a nissan.

tc is made by toyota so its ultra reliable, i dont know what to say about it other than that its a hip car, its cheap, its reliable, its good for getting you from A to B

Similar thread, VERY similar.

Agree with mikez, it's a nice, simple, affordable go getter. I was thinking about purchasing it but then I did my research and wanted more than just a reliable car so yeah.

[aznfishyfart]

if you like to pass people when u drive (like me) dont get it
you lose a lot fuel economy when u want to start fast from a stop or try to quickly pass someone
the car is too heavy for the engine, but if you ease into you'll get good fuel economy

I've sat inside one at the dealership and it seems pretty comfortable. The seats are a little bigger than what I'm used to in the front but the rear seats seem pretty cool. You can even adjust the rear seat back's tilt angle so you can lean back pretty far. It's not a bad car for getting places; certainly not a fast way to get around, but it's not exactly slow (trust me I've been in slow cars before I know...) just takes a bit longer. It's a car that you definitely want to upgrade things with, and Scion/Toyota know this so it's pretty cool.
