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

  • 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.

    I Traded in my huge SUV and bought my scion used. It had 47,000 on it and runs great. I have 2 small girls 8 and 6. No problem getting them in and out. Booster seat fits fine. also had my friends baby in the back with my girls. well enough room for all car seat i was shocked. Fun to drive. kids love moon roof in the back. Only thing i notice is A/C is not to cold, but i think it just need flushed. I live in Oregon and Have no problems in rain with this car handles so well. no complaints!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
