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.

  This would be the best car for the money - 2007 Scion TC
  By AmoAMiTc - July 24 - 8:06 pm

  I love this car. It is fun to drive and you dont see it everywhere like mazda 3s and other new, semi affordable cars. Everyone compliments the car, even with paint chips. Its just different and fun.

  <3 this car! Especially if youre short! - 2007 Scion TC
  By Brooke - May 10 - 8:46 am

  I bought my tC new and have had it for 3 years. I love it! It has some flaws, but overall its a great car. If you live in New England get snow tires (I recommend Blizzaks) or else youll never get anywhere with the stock tires. The ride is a bit harsh/loud. It always jerks when I first press on the gas if I dont purposely ease into it more than usual (others who drive my car would agree). I notice a little rattling with the sunroof from time to time - no big deal. The seal above the windshield comes up sometimes after a car wash. Paint does catch a lot of road dust/bugs, but I recently clay barred it and it looks new! Love my under dash/cupholder lights! Lots of comments all around! :)

  Loaded tC - 2007 Scion TC
  By CAROLINAJACK - January 2 - 5:20 am

  I purchased tc in may 2007. It is the release series 3.0 #737 of 2500 produced.$21,000.00 price tag. All options, except for the standard 5- speed manual trans. Added trd lowering springs, short throw shifter, anti-sway bars, strut brace, exhaust for additional $2000.00. Now my $23,000.00 investment feels like 30 grand. If there is something you dont like, just adjust to your application.

  Get the Shifter! - 2007 Scion TC
  By Nick - December 6 - 10:53 am

  I have put only 300 miles on the car, but I love it. I drove it for two days with stock shifter and then had a short throw installed. It was the best money I ever spent, it makes a huge difference. I highly recommend this as an upgrade. Also, the strut bar has really stiffened up the front end. The accelerator is touchy and the hydraulic clutch takes a little getting used to. I still havent mastered it yet. For the money, you cannot beat this car. But I truly think it is for someone who wants a inexpensive sporty car, not a touring vehicle. For those of you who are interested, 75mph = 3,500 RPM so dont be surprised on the freeway when there is probably a little more engine noise then you are used to.

  tC Needs Improvements - 2007 Scion TC
  By JOSE N ENRIQUEZ - July 20 - 5:23 am

  This car is fun to drive and has good horsepower. It has a lot extras inside. The outside has nice a design and smooth edges. The performance tires are a plus for me and it handles great. Why did they put in such cheap materials for the dashboard and the door panals?

  Great car - 2007 Scion TC
  By Oconnell - July 8 - 11:56 pm

  I bought this car because I liked the style and it was cheap. Ive had the car almost a year with no problems at all... all the talks of rattles and squeaks almost turned me off to the car but Ive yet to hear anything.

  Great Value! - 2007 Scion TC
  By Noisy - April 21 - 10:13 pm

  I bought this car as a replacement for my 2000 Focus ZX3, seeking something sportier, but not completely impractical. The tC came to the fore after some difficulty trying to nail down the local Honda dealer on a price (and availability) on a Civic Si. Both were in the running, but after a bit of time at the Scion/Toyota dealer, the quality of the tC and the great buying experience at the Scion dealership made it a no-brainer. Toyota quality/reliability (and the accompanying resale value) is gravy. This car is a tremendous value if you can restrain yourself at the options checklist, with power windows, locks, remote entry, great audio and Gods own sunroof as standard make it a tough car to overlook.

  Not perfect, but good for the price - 2007 Scion TC
  By Sean - April 9 - 10:20 pm

  My tC is apparently one of many that I have heard have a squeak in the dash right off the showroom floor. It comes and goes depending on road conditions but for a new car is very annoying and concerns me about the build quality comparing this, my first Toyota, to other cars I have owned. The gas mileage is also a little disappointing given that the car is a small 4-cyl. coupe. The car is wonderfully fun to drive and very comfortable over distances. I have a 100 mile a day commute and other than the squeaking love this car. The dealer would probably fix it no problem but they only do this type of work M-F and I do not live near the town I bought it in and would have to take off the day.

  Good car for the money - 2007 Scion TC
  By tcowner - April 9 - 4:56 pm

  I bought my car used and love it! The tC is such a good-looking vehicle, great for the money, and a lot of fun to drive. For a little 4cyl car it has plenty of pep. It handles well. Ive only had one problem with the car so far. I had some little LED lights go out on my headlights. Granted, these headlights were aftermarket, so its not Toyotas fault. Friends love riding in it. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I do get a lot of second looks in this car.

  Saved by Second Sunroof TSB - 2007 Scion TC
  By Kitch - February 22 - 10:46 pm

  I was extremely pleased the first 12 months. However, for the past 4 months, a a sharp clicking rattle-like noise started to occur and became increasingly persistent as time went by. It took literally 8 visits to the dealer before the problem - faulty sunroof construction - was detected by me from researching tC noise rattles on the web. Upon hearing that there was a Toyota Service Bulletin (TSB) on the earlier models at a tC Owners Blog, I showed the article to the dealer. He then advised that there was a second TSB that I qualified for, and after I left the car with the dealer for 2.5 days, I got a completely new sunroof - all new glass and rails. Now, Im in "heaven" again.
