    For the price, the value is amazing. It has a great stereo. The sunroof system is very good with two glass panels to let in the light. The sunroof wind noise is far less than in my 2003 Mini Cooper. I drove nearly 900 miles in one day. The seat adjustments are excellent, especially when you consider that I believe the seats are more comfortable than those in my BMW M3. My friends compliment the brightness of the headlights, even with the fog lights off. It even has an arm rest with sweet sections to hide things so those outside cant see them!

  • Great Car for the Money! - 2006 Scion TC

    I really like the Scion tC. I average 26 miles a gallon. Also, the car is pretty quick for a 4-cylinder. I ran a 1/4 mile time of 15.6. That is pretty good for it being totally stock. I also enjoy the interior on this car. The moonroof is great. The people in the back seat even have their own moonroof. Also, the back seats recline 5 inchs, which is cool. I think that the car is totally worth the cheap price tag. I think that you could easily slap a Lexus tag on the front, and it would fit in. The stock radio in the car is also really good. There are also a ton of aftermarket parts for the tC, which is really good.

  • Mixed Feelings - 2006 Scion TC

    I have had my tC a little over a year and have had no problems out of it whatsoever. It is still very fun to drive, even after having it a year. It is pretty spacious for a two-door car, but I will stick to four-doors from now on. It is a smooth, comfortable ride with no rattling or shaking. I just calculated my MPG and got about 28 city, 31 hwy, which is good but could be better for a small car. The sound system is great and the pioneer CD player and speakers are very high quality. The road noise is relatively quiet for having low- profile tires. Despite its sporty look, the steering is not very nimble. Overall, I have enjoyed my car, but it could definitely use some improvement.

  • This is a safe car! - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought this car for my daughter based on Toyota reliability and the price. I special ordered it to get the color and head air bag package. It turned out to be a great call because my daughter walked and passenger walked away from a 70 mph double roll over accident. The car was totaled but I am going to replace it with an identical model. This is a very safe car! The only issue I found during this accident was both sunroofs shattered in a million small pieces of glass. Nobody got even scratched because the head airbags deployed evidently shielding the passengers from the glass

    I had this car for six months and all was going well until I came home from work one day. I was in the house for five minutes and my car spontaniously combusted. They told me it was an electrical short. Enjoy!!!!!!!

  • I Love this Car - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I got my 2006 Scion tC in August 2005 and from the moment I got it until now, I have loved it. This car has a little bit of everything. I love how it has a touch of sport utility in it. There are a ton of options that you can chose for the car. If they were to come up with an updated version in a few years, I would definitely trade it in and keep my car a for a new Scion tC. This car has a very nice interior and you would think that because it is a two-door vehicle, the passengers in the back would be cramped. But I actually have people WANT to sit in the back, because the seats recline and are very comfortable. The trunk space looks very limited, its a hatchback, but it has the perfect amount of space.

    The Scion tC has a great ride, but they could have fancied up the inside more. Scion could have made sure the rubber pieces on the outside were snuggly and securely fit as in around the windows ..etc... Having said this, overall this is a good car for the money.

  • Awsome Sound Machine - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought this car for 2 reasons. #1 interior shape (hatchback) for a 3 subwoofer horn loaded configuration and #2 price since I was putting $7K into the sound system. 2000 W into 2x10" + 1x15" sub with 9 cabin speakers custom door pods and Morel dome/MB Quart Premium speakers - awesome sound quality. Professionally installed by the owner of Audio North West, the sound system is Incredible (and I have a lot of audio stuff for comparison). A side benefit is the ride. Hard corners a bit soft but good controlled drift w/e-brake, will install sport suspension. Minor tuning mods, upgrading to 18" XXR rims and Potenza tires this week. AWESOME platform for REAL car audio and it has enough kick - FUN
