  Its worth the money you pay - 2008 Scion TC
  By DsTC - May 21 - 5:00 am

  I would recommend this car - for the money that you pay its the best. Its not something I would try to make fast, its a four cylinder. Its reliable and has just enough HP to get it done.

  Its a well built car, original, smooth. - 2008 Scion TC
  By Dtc - February 28 - 4:03 pm

  Its worth every penny, custom it out the way you want. Its designed by Lexus so you know youre getting quality. I get about 22 mpg and I have a 6.5 mile drive to work. I think they could have designed the seats better but that can be fixed with custom leather. But I would have lowered it a little more from the factory. Overall I feel that I made a good decision buying this car. The car is much quieter than I thought but the toyoguard package was well worth the money. Toyota has quality products period.

  good bang for the buck! - 2008 Scion TC
  By SxRacer108 - January 4 - 10:13 pm

  Great little car, needs a bit more power though. Coming from a Nissan sentra ser spec-v with the 6 speed. This car is a little more sluggish but not bad at all! Decent gas mileage and great radio... And gotta love that price tag =)

  An economy car that thinks its a sport - 2008 Scion TC
  By Eric - March 29 - 2:56 am

  I was going to buy a Mazda3 but the dealer didnt give me enough on my trade in so I went to look at the corolla and I saw the TC and thought it was a 26k car, I had never seen it before or known scion made it, I knew I wanted it right away and bought it the next day. Im very happy with it but the seats are very uncomfortable, im 62. It needs lumbar support. But honestly for 18k you cant get much more with out stealing it.

  Deep Scanning a Transmission Meltdown - 2008 Scion TC
  By Josh - February 29 - 1:16 pm

  Everything has been very good except for one thing: the automatic transmission on this car is not very dependable. With the car not yet even 2 years, and the transmission is kicking forward while driving at 35-40 mph and when decelerating. Unfortunately, this only one thing happens to be a major component of the vehicle. Difficult to mask my disappointment with Toyota here, and surely will not. Not quite what I bargained for when this vehicle was purchased. It has enjoyed the luxury of oil changes, minor and major services at scheduled intervals and has been taken well care off so I am not sure what to think of this. It only has 42,000 miles. Its going in for a diagnostic tomorrow.

  No Regrets - 2008 Scion TC
  By Adam - February 19 - 5:40 am

  This is my first NEW car purchase. I am really impressed. From the audio system, to the comfort, to the steering, it all feels very "sports car." This car is actually replacing the Toyota replacement, the Celica GT-S. Now, its not as fast as my Celica, but with the 5MT it is very smooth. The light short-shift clutch is very easy (a great car for beginners), and with the 18" Scion Upgraded wheels I put on, the steering is very aggressive. The upgraded Pioneer Audio with iPod is very bass-friendly and sounds really good to my surprise. The interior space was MUCH better than I expected and the reclining second row is very convenient, since hatchbacks are usually cramped. 7 Airbags

  Well-balanced car for the price - 2008 Scion TC
  By sushi714 - January 18 - 4:07 pm

  I purchased my 2008 Scion tC brand new in December of 2007 and still feel pretty satisfied with it! Im not sure if there was a better deal out there when I purchased this vehicle, but it provided the best balance between price, style, performance, and reliability (knowing that it came from the Toyota family of brands). Still in great condition, so havent had to do anything except the usual maintenence as suggested by Scion. Prefer ANT10 series (2009 and previous years) due to change to a more "boring" interior with the AGT20 (2010 - current) series.
