  • My Scion tC....a Dream Come True! - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I absolutely fell in love with this car the moment I laid eyes on it! Its basically an all around great sports car for the modern society we live in today. Its a very affordable new car with excellent fuel economy. Its sleek, yet simple design is very captivating just knowing that how you buy it stock is still satisfying because you know people"s heads turn when they see this car driving through the city. Also knowing that the amount of customization is practically endless. It is a wonderful feeling because you can have a one of a kind vehicle. The performance is just another area that ceased to amaze me! I love this car so much and am proud to be the owner of one.

  • My Favorite Car Ever - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I have only had it for 100 miles, but I am already in love with it. The handling, the power, the long list of standard features. This car feels like $30m000, not the $17.500 I paid. The only option that we have is the sidecurtain airbags. We almost wrecked it with only 70 miles on the odometer! Some jerk tried to dart through three lanes of heavy traffic, then stopped. This was my first experience with 4 wheel ABS disc brakes. We managed to stop just inches from this fools door. The tC is a major bargain. It has lots of safety features. It is 100% Toyota with a Camry engine. I was looking for basic, reliable transportation, I ended up with all of that in cool little rocket!

  • Fun car but NOT worth it! READ. - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    After one year of purchase I am selling for another Honda. My accord was totaled so I bought this. Bad mistake. This car is built very cheap and if you look hard enough you will very clearly see it. Driving it overtime you will see many things you hate. The moon-roof whistles so loud and there is no fix, embarrassing to have friends point out how annoying it is. But the worst thing yet is the MPG. averages between 22-26 and thats it! The rating is 19mpg for city! Just awful. Seriously look into another car before buying. Just test drive a Honda and you will immediately notice how bad the TC quality is.

  • All around affordable fun vehicle - 2006 Scion TC

    This car has been the best vehicle I have owned and my fiance and I will probably not ever sell this car do to that. It is a very fun car to drive and is not hard on my wallet.

  • Best Car Ive ever had - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    This car is the best value on the market. For all the features that you get on a base model, this car is a steal. Im even bold enough to say that this car is better than a Civic or any other car just like it.

    Without a doubt, this car is the best car I have ever owned.

  • Poor Replacement for the Celica - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I went to the dealership ready to trade in my 92 Celica (one of the greatest toyotas ever made). The Celica I thought had made me a Toyota driver for life. I just couldnt do it. I saw the tC and sat in it and I loved it. Then I drove it. It was not teribly powerful, kind of peppy but not very and it handeled like Id expect a large sedan not a small coupe. It weighs at least 500 lbs. more than it should with most of the weight up front. This car plows like no other car Ive driven (plowing is not a good thing).

  • Awesome Car - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    The 2006 Scion tC is a great car for an awesome price. For a two door it is more comfortable than many 4-door vehicles like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Lets not mention the Acura RSX, which should be a two seat car.

  • Good car until the last 18 months - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought this car brand-spanking new- I built it on the website and then waited 4 months for my customized tc to be delivered to me straight off the boat. It never got more than about 20 mpg city at best. The trunk/hatchback handle/plate broke off just like everyone elses. The a/c went out at 45k miles. Other than that, this car was reliable & easy to maintain for the first 90k. Ive kept up with all the scheduled maintenance plus have done extras. After 90k, everything went to s***! The clutch and both cylinders went out, one of the motor mounts broke. It only has 97k currently, and I still need to put at least $3k of work into it to get it back to decent operating condition. Buyer beware!
