    My first car. I got the Release Series 1.0 in Absolutely Red. My RS numbers is 1790 of 2500. Great car especially for the "first car" experience. Greate price and very dependable seeing as how its from toyota. Overall a great buy for any age.

    My Scion tC is one of the most fun cars Ive driven in a long time. AND it has Toyota quality assurance. Ive taken my car on a few long road trips and it handles really well in inclement weather and near-miss incidents. Its totally stress-free! I love it! Plus the way the car just grips the road, I feel like I have total control.

  • Supercharged Review - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    Ive put 13,000 miles on my tC now in 6 months. Ive added the TRD supercharger to it and have driven on it for 7,000 miles. The car is a blast to drive. The power output with the supercharger is much higher than what TRD claimed (Ive had my car tested). The stock tires are quite crappy. Youll definitely need to replace them before too long. The supercharger is quiet and very reliable. The power output is good, yet not too much. The TRD supercharger is warrantied with the rest of my powertrain, so I feel comfortable about the extra power boost. If youre going to get the supercharger installed by a dealer, though, make sure they have done the installation before. This is the best car Ive owned.

    The tC has adequate power but it wont overwhealm you. The seats are very comfortable bu a little wide. The interior looks beautiful with high quality materials that look like they belong on a car that costs a lot more. I have had at least 3 or 4 people come up to me and ask me about it and if I like the car. It rides pretty stiff on large wheels and a taught suspension so if a cushy ride is what you are looking for, this isnt it. In conclusion, the tC is a great car and you just cant find a better car out there for less money.

  • Scion tC - WOW - 2006 Scion TC

    I first went to test drive the tC, after I did, that was all I needed. I got a good deal well within my budget. If I want very good mileage it is imperative I was premium gasline, which is pricey these days. The handling, the features, and every design feature this car has is great, I love it, Im glad I got it.

  • Nice Ride - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    This is a very nice car. I considered 5 different cars with gas mileage and overall performance my main criteria. After all the test drives and comparisons, the tC was the standout choice for standard options and its powerful Camry engine. It is just a few dollars more than the base 2 door Civic and you get so much more. It provides a nice balance of performance and gas mileage for a bargain price.

    The paint chips and scratches with ease. The are plenty of rattles. Many of the interior plastic covers( such as seatbelt bolts) have cracked. The optional leather seats are cracking ( garage parked). The sun roof freezes at on occasion. When I hit a small bump and brake, the brakes "skip" and make a metallic noise. Have complained to the dealer over the years. They say it is "normal"; however, a delay in braking is not "normal."The rotors started rusting on the first year.

    I fully enjoy my new Scion tC. It has great visibility and it handles the road really well. It is a nice car for the price.

  • Great for casual luxury - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I love my Scion tC. Its reliable and affordable. You cant go wrong with this car. There is so much you can to to it as well. It looks mostly like a girlie car though. Guys just dont look right in one of these. Replace the tiers. I blew one out and it set me back about $250.

  • Happy with My Tc - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    This car is just plain fun to drive, I have had it for about six months and now even my wife (who swears by her F-350 diesel) likes driving it. The car handles very well and while it isnt race ready it moves very well. I am not sure I would buy this in an automatic but I sure like the 5-speed. The sound system is good and there are a lot of nice features. More importantly, there are very few options - the car came with everything I wanted and more.
