    The first true Scion vehicle made by Toyota really shines above the competition. I love this car.

    Its about time car companies pay attention to what the consumer wants in a car. Scion gives many features and stylings that only luxury cars have for under $20k.

  • Loce my tC - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    My Scion tC is fun to drive. It has a lot of pick up and is very sporty. I definitely would buy another. It is a great car for anyone. People stop me and ask how I like the car. I am very happy that I picked this over the Mazada6. Test drive the car, you will be happy that you did.

  • Great Value - 2005 Scion TC

    Just purchased the vehicle yesterday. Cant believe how much car you get for so little money. Drove the car 100 home from the dealer and it rides just as great on the highway as it does in town. Nice acceleration even in 5th for a 4cyl engine. I compared the Mazda 3s and Saturn Ion before deciding on the Scion tC.

  • Love it...but having mpg problems - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I love it-- its a great car, and it drives great. However, has anyone else been having gas mileage problems? Its supposed to get 23-29 mpg, but Ive tested it twice and mine only gets 15 mpg! This is really scary, and I know Im figuring it out right. But besides that, Ive had no problems with it. If anyone else has noticed their tCs gas mileage is considerably worse than it should be, please respond in a review.

  • More bang for your buck.... - 2005 Scion TC

    If youre looking for a fun, fast(relatively speaking) and versatile vehicle with excellent fuel economy, then the search is over(if you can find one for sale). The 05 Scion tC is, for once, better than the hype. The quality, fit and finish is up to Lexus standards. The value is exceptional with standard features like one touch up/down power windows for both driver and passenger, a sound system with 6 speakers that puts you in the center of the concert and 4 wheel force balanced ABS brakes that puts safety at all corners. The only drawback is that they are hard to find right now.(are you listening Toyota?) I think its worth the wait....

  • I like it alot but... - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    my review about my scion tc is... My thougts on the scion tc are very skattered. If i could have control of the car i would first off put more horsepower. This car needs to have at least 220-230 horsepower, it would attract more people, because people love speed. Affordable is another thing even if the car comes out with 230 horsepower and its now $18,000-$19,000 (starting) its worth it. So my review of the car is basicly all i need is horsepower everything else about the car i like alot but always end up bein left behind the crowd in traffic.....

  • More than you might expect - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    When reviewing this car one must be realistic. I feel that for the price sold this car delivers magnificantly. Beginning with the exterior, a quick walkaround will elicit several head turns with sexy yet subtle curves. The interior is intuitively designed. Quality was not sacraficed in order to preserve low costs, and this is apparent with just one quick upon the snug sport bucket seats. The engine is extremely smooth with firm acceleration (0-60 in 7.7 w/AT) while the steering is tight arounf corners and in the city. Zipping for spots on the expressway is no problem. All things considered, the tC is a soild investment that will return huge smiles.

  • Very Happy with purchase - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    As the owner of a Toyota Corrola, I was very happy with the quality of my vehicle. When I went to the dealership for scheduled maintenance there it was, a 2005 Scion TC. The sporty style and chrome wheels caught my eye, I had to test drive. Sitting inside I instantly noticed the large glass roof and stylish gauges, once I hit the open road I felt a kick of power and the fact that it was raining made this even better. The tires gripped the road like velcro, I was able to change lanes and turn as if the pavement was dry. Stopping was effortless with the abs system and the sound system blasted with ease with no distortion. The trunk space was large and the cover can be easily removed. A++
