  Replacement for Corolla - 2008 Scion TC
  By Nice Choice - October 17 - 7:13 pm

  Needed a safe vehicle, but also a cool vehicle, for a teenager who will be driving shortly. Had settled on a Mazda 3. Thankfully, the Mazda dealer low balled us on our trade. Good thing. Viewed a new TC after leaving Mazda dealer and immediately went to the nearest Scion dealer to take a closer look. Obviously, the teenager fell in love with the TC. Wife also fell for it. Have had it a bit and couldnt be more pleased. Good value for the money. I am over 50 and I love driving the vehicle.

  Oil problems at 47000 miles - 2008 Scion TC
  By acguy2 - October 12 - 3:38 am

  I have completly enjoyed my TC, looks great, fun to drive. Bought it new in july of 07. At 4700 miles I noticed the oil light came on. Checked the oil, found it wasnt even touching the stick, but it was time for my warranty oil change and took it in. Told them what was going on. I was told to drive it for half of the normal oil change period and bring it back. It ran out before that time. I took it in, they kept it for about 3 weeks. Said it was the valve stem seals and replaced them. Picked it up ater repair now the car sounds like a little hot rod, and vibrates, took it back, the machines the head, picked it up still sounds like a hot rod, no vibration, took it back, installed new motor.

  Great Car - 2008 Scion TC
  By A.M. - March 30 - 2:00 am

  Purchased the car used with 17k miles on it in February of 2010. It now has close to 40k and has been great! Excellent performance for a 4 cylinder engine. The car actually has some torque so its not necessary to downshift every time you come across a hill. The transmission is a little clunky, and it would be nice to have a 6th gear for extended periods on the highway, but its not enough to take away from the car. Stock tires were junk, but still had a little tread left @ 35k. Good sound system for a factory stereo, and its nice that its ipod compatible. Overall its been a great car!!

  Great Buy - 2008 Scion TC
  By LuvmytC - February 22 - 6:13 am

  This was my first car out of college and I love it. Ive had it for a year now and I feel like it is a luxury car without the luxury price. My friends all love it as much as I do. My old car did get slightly better gas mileage but the tC still does pretty well. The sun/moon room is awesome as is the reclining back seat and the hatch back feature gives me plenty of room in the trunk. It does pretty well in the snow. I am very satisfied and would strongly recommend buying a tC.

  Wow, Amazing Car! I Love It - 2008 Scion TC
  By Becka=) - January 19 - 11:36 pm

  I am the type of person who cannot stick w/1 car for very long. I tend to trade in every 6 months to a year. But this car is different. I absolutely love it and have no buyers remorse. I always get looks and comments from people on how much they like it. And it is way affordable for a brand new car and all the things you are getting standard with it. In fact, people think it is a lot more expensive than it really is. With this car you deifintly ride in style and comfort. No blind spots, easy to see. I also have 2 kids who ride in car seats in the back seat daily. Although this is a 2 door I have no inconveinences or space problems. So roomy. I love this car! Its sexy, reliable, and fun!

  Great ride to have - 2008 Scion TC
  By xqwerty - January 3 - 4:30 am

  I bought my tC with a super charger so I didnt think that fuel would be that great but I got 27mpg in the winter and get 31mpg in the summer. I have never had a problem with it, that includes having it start outside in - 27degrees with no problem :) The only problem I have come a cross is the vents are hard to direct and the doors dont have a ding gard (now both of my doors have chipped paint) other than that with a sunroof, mp3 wma and ipod ready(w/ cables) radio & kickn bass, 2.4L S/C engine, and tons of little fitures and millions of after matket accessories ready for you to customize your tC means to me so much. Oh yea and the price is way too low for me to pass up, ITS A BUY!!!

  First New Car - 2008 Scion TC
  By Ice Penguino - December 15 - 3:43 am

  This is one hell of a car for the price. It offers great performance and is extremely stylish. I traded up from an old Accord and this is a remarkable improvement. This car does so much right that the complaints are extremely minor. I tell everyone I know about how much I enjoy driving this car.

  Best car so far!!! - 2008 Scion TC
  By lauchard - November 25 - 1:33 am

  After going from my 13 yr old base style Corolla to this standard loaded out car I feel like Ive hit the jackpot for a great price. I absolutely love it. It has pep and looks very smart. This is my favorite car Ive ever had. Well worth every penny even if you dont add a thing. Feels like Im gliding on glass it is so smooth. With the Toyota name behind it you cant go wrong. Get one!!

  This is a Joke - 2008 Scion TC
  By First and Last time - November 6 - 10:36 am

  I Got this car for my daughter because she liked the style and I knew the car was made by Toyota (I am a toyota man). This car is way over priced. The inside is so cheap. Only 22 mpg. I can not believe that Toyota made this car. I might never buy a toyota again because of this experience.

  New Car Shoo-In - 2008 Scion TC
  By Sushi - October 13 - 4:03 am

  I was looking for a new car as a graduation present, but I was originally planning on looking at a used 2005 Subaru WRX and 2007 VW GLI, but I decided to stop in at the Toyota dealership on the same strip. I reluctantly test drove the tC, but was really impressed by all the interior features and the price. In the end, I was willing to save a few thousand dollars to get a new rather than used car with a few dozen less horses, but with a lot more interior features, so I bought it the same day as the test drive. Only issue is the stock tires (Yokohama S32s), which are almost $230 each to replace, even though Yokohama has a better performance tire in their own line at a better price.
