Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Scion tC hatchback sees its lineup expand with the addition of a new, stripped-down, less expensive trim level. Dubbed the Spec trim, Scion's intention is to have this model serve as a blank canvas to be used as a starting point for customization. The Spec trim trades the base trim's 17-inch wheels for 16-inchers, foregoes the base model's power sunroof for a fixed glass roof and offers unique upholstery and interior trim.

• Many standard features, sharp handling, roomy cabin, value-oriented price.

• A couple of odd design elements, bland styling.

  I love and miss my scion - 2007 Scion TC
  By Erin - March 24 - 1:03 pm

  I bought this car to replace my cavalier. I absolutely loved everything about it. It was cute, fun to drive, the layout inside the car was great. Very spacious. I owned it up until today (October 1, 2009). I was hit by an SUV going 55 mph on the passengers side, and smashed into a guardrail. The car was totaled, but the safety features on it really saved my life. I got out of the car with a few scratches and a busted lip from the airbag. So I will give all pluss safety wise. So any concerned parents for safety check it out. A beautiful good quality car, great sound system, spacious, and a great car to drive!

  Rattles and Rattles but Good Reliability - 2007 Scion TC
  By Tib - March 17 - 6:53 am

  This car is a poorly made car but reliable as all can be. After the first month my radio door started squeaking. The first day that it was below 25 degrees you could hear what sounds to be a bolt snapping against the windshield...3 warranty claims later and still does it. The drivers mirror vibrated like you wouldnt believe so that was replaced under warranty. The trunk rattles so much it will make you go mad. The gears are too small, with a different 5th gear this car would easily get 40+mpg. At 70mph in fifth Im at 3700rpm. I wouldnt recommend this car to anyone with my experience without corrections to these areas.

  Better Than Expected - 2007 Scion TC
  By Drifter123 - February 7 - 9:43 am

  This is the best car out there for such a low price. Its fun to drive. It accelerates very quickly. Its reliability is questionable though. The engine should last a long time because its a Toyota Camry engine. The body seems a little too plastic. Overall, its a great valued car. I recommend it to anyone on a tight budget or who likes to tune cars.

  Good car - 2007 Scion TC
  By jason - December 27 - 10:46 am

  Very sleek car. The only thing I dont like is there is too much body roll and it could use about 30 to 40 more hp without having to buy a supercharger. All in all, its a good car in its price range.

  Pleasantly surprised... - 2007 Scion TC
  By Bobbyb38 - November 2 - 4:50 am

  I test drove this car recently while waiting for my 04 Cavalier to get serviced yet again. I fell in love with this car from the moment I saw it and was stunned at how fun it was to drive. Tight handling, good acceleration, and really cool dash features. Needless to say I traded in my Chevy and am so glad I did. There is simply no comparison in my opinion when driving a Toyota and a GM made car. The difference in quality was apparent as soon as I opened the door. Just a solidly built car with quality parts thru out. If you want a reliable car thats fun to drive, buy this car today!

  It is what it is - 2007 Scion TC
  By Jacob - August 21 - 8:16 pm

  Now, first off, I am sick of people complaining on here about the mileage, yes, it is a small car, and the Corolla does get better mileage, but this car has a 2.4L engine, and the Corolla has a 1.8L on 95% of them. And, most people complaining are driving it to hard, thats the problem. Secondly, complaining about rattles? Well, when you buy a cheap compact car....that is what you get, thats why Mercedes cost a lot. This car gives you what you need, a GREAT sound system, PHENOMENAL Wheels, DAZZLING looks, SURPRISING Space and Comfort, and 60 cubic feet of space when the rear seats fold down flat....it is practical and sporty. This car DESTROYS the Civic Si, because the Si is more expensive..

  Peppy Performance, Sticky Cornering - 2007 Scion TC
  By Trin1 - August 21 - 3:30 am

  I purchased my tC on Sep 11th, and I regret nothing. This car looks good, goes like a rocket (3rd gear to 5,200 RPM - WOW!), and corners like its on a rail. I added the window tint, pedestal spoiler, TRD lowering springs, strut tower bar, BORLA exhaust and cold air intake to the deal, although Im still waiting for the intake. It seems the bore for the MAP sensor is too big for the 07 sensor and the dealer estimates a two week to two month wait while Toyota corrects the problem. I intend to get it and Im saving up for the supercharger too! All in all, this is a great ride.

  The Dual Sunroofs Are Sick - 2007 Scion TC
  By lively_crab - July 23 - 4:23 am

  I did not intend to buy this car. I stopped at a Toyota dealer after test driving a Subaru Outback and a Mazda3 and I liked them both. Well, the smoking black 2007 tC was just sitting there waiting for me. My son was chanting in my ear to test drive it (I think as a dare). It is a simply beautiful car with plenty of room for what I needed at a rock bottom price for a fully loaded sporty car. I bought it and now I just have to try to keep my 20 year old away from it. I love the handling, fit and finish, Pioneer stereo, easy controls, etc, etc.

  An alternative review - 2007 Scion TC
  By Scion Owner - July 18 - 6:46 pm

  Im 2,500 miles into my 2007 Scion tC and I can say Im pretty happy with my purchase. Most reviews tell you how great the car is, and for the most part, they are true. Its a pleasure to drive and looks great. Not to be negative, I just want to take my chance to inform readers of the flip side. Dont get me wrong, I love 95% of the car, but to offer more insight to prospective buyers, here are the things that irk me: the sunroof cover is cheap. It is made of flimsy canvas and mine broke and came off the track the 2nd/3rd time I used it! Black interior shows every little speck, nearly impossible to keep looking clean. A/C vents arent placed well, its hard to get air to blow right on you.

  tC - Best Buy - 2007 Scion TC
  By Joe - July 15 - 5:26 pm

  I traded my premium gas guzzling, visually challenged for driving safety, 2006 Eclipse GT for a 2007 Scion tC and it is simply a great car. It has nearly all of the features of an "upscale Eclipse" minus the aero-kit, which worked itself loose twice in six months causing simply put: poor fit and looks. The Eclipse has more adrenalin but the tC is more consistent overall and has outstanding fuel economy using regular fuel. Its 17 inch wheels and wide rubber make it a gem for handling and turning.
