  • This car rocks! - 2008 Scion TC
    By -

    I just bought this car a week ago. It is just amazing. I have been wanting one for almost 2 years now, so I just went ahead and did it. I had just bought a 2007 hyundai elantra in 12/06, so I traded it in for this. My first tank of gas got me almost 28 mpg, which is exactly what I was getting in the elantra.

    I chose this car over the honda civic, and mitsubishi lancer. Bottom line: More bang for your buck. Its better built than mitsubishi being thats its a toyota, and more features while being cheaper than the civic. I love the blue ribbon metallic color, and turns heads often. I put the pedestal spoiler and scion license frame on, obx shift knob and racing pedals, and the scion 2 in 1 floor mats. Ample space as well as a very good stock sound system. Plenty of bass, so all I did was put in 6.5" infinty ref. series speakers in the front and back, and it sounds perfect. Good power and handling, with ample room for 5 people, or hauling alot of stuff. I love everything about it.

    Its a pretty good car for an affordable price. Very good looking and decent mileage as well as performance. Comes with lots of great standard features and no need to spend more time/money trying to add features.

    The car is great! No complaints. Got the navigation system and the security system and the extras are worth it for me. The sunroof is cool!

  • teener loves her tc - 2008 Scion TC

    I think that the gas mileage is great. i purchased the car in november of 2007 and it still feels like i am getting into a brand new car. Although leather seat would be nice, they stain very easily and the material is very hard to get anything out. The lighting inside should be all one color and not blue and orange, but thats not that much of a big deal to me. I have a manual transmission and have driven on the highway many times. I think it should have a 6th gear, it always sounds reved out over 80 mph. The exterior of the car is beautiful but, I would not suggest the color white. It gets very dirty and is hard to keep shiny. but over all I love the TC

  • Affordable and Fun to Drive - 2008 Scion TC
    By -

    This car is definitely more fun to drive than a Mazda3, Mitsubishi Lancer or Eclipse. It handles great on the highway and on back roads. Brakes are excellent. It really turns peoples heads when you pass. It is affordable and with so many factory accessories very easy to customize from the initial purchase.

    I have had my tC for 5 months and Im still in love with it. Every time i go out to my car i smile because of how GREAT it looks. I am a college student and it always turns heads especially with the sunroof open.

  • Great car - 2008 Scion TC

    Was looking for a replacement for my 2003 Celica GT and this was the most appealing and fun choice. Great looking car that handles well and is very comfortable on my long daily commute (115 miles, round trip). Not looking forward to driving it in inclement weather because of the tires, though, but hopefully Toyota/Scion will offer options on future models. But no regrets so far. Very fun car to drive at a very affordable price. A lot of car for not a lot of money and a worthy successor to the decades-old favorite, Celica.

  • Last toyota ill buy - 2008 Scion TC
    By -

    car had a recall for gas cap 2nd month. Tires are only good on paved roads in the dry and started to separate by 20k. got stuck in the middle of the street with 1/2 an inch of snow. throttle has a delay and a couple times a mind of its own. Finally, at 30k I struck a section of bad rural road and supposedly bent 2 wheels and caused the side curtain airbag to go off, which will cost over $5000 to fix which Toyota will not cover.I had just got new tires the week before and the car doesnt shake or show any external damage. If you live in rural America, dont waste your$. I did file a claim with the NHTSA.
