  Excellent Car for the Cost. - 2005 Scion TC
  By Josh - September 16 - 4:50 pm

  The Scion TC comes absolutely loaded with features you would have to pay a premium for on other cars: 17" wheels, ABS brakes, power windows/door locks, and panoramic sunroof to name a few. Although all of these features make this car rather heavy, it still has plenty of "get-up-and-go" for cars in this price range. The tC is fun to drive around town and is plenty comfortable on long trips. Build quality is solid. You can buy a tC with confidence, knowing that it is built by Toyota.

  I love my car!! - 2005 Scion TC
  By joyous_knoxville - September 10 - 6:43 am

  I bought my scion in September and love riding it around the hills of Knoxville. Its such a smooth little speed dragon! I would recommend this car to anyone who wants performance with reliability.

  Noisy - 2005 Scion TC
  By butterflyjones - August 12 - 4:10 am

  I took a test drive of about 10 miles in a 5-speed Scion tC today and felt it needs a lot more insulation for reduction of wind noise. The engine was fairly quiet at 3,000 rpms at about 70 mph. This cars rear cargo cover is not designed for use on a regular basis. It is very flimsy! Also, severely pulled to the right side when you took your hands off the steering wheel and when braking. I looked for the clutch reserivor and could not find it so a technician said it was included in with the brake reserivor so that eliminates having to put fluid in a seperate one. Changing my oil should be o.k. and the air cleaner is easy to get to. All the fluids were full and are easily accessible.

  Awesome Car, two notes - 2005 Scion TC
  By Glenn M. Rife - July 30 - 10:13 am

  Ive had my tC since November and have racked up the miles. Its performed wonderfully, was a huge bargain, and continues to delight. Two notes: some folks complain about the "cheap" sunroof shades. Hello! Theyre retractable/roll-up fabric b/c youre getting TWO sunroofs! Also, some say the exterior resembles a Tiburon crossed with a BMW. I urge folks to compare the rear profile of the tC with that of its predecessor, the celica. Its similar, at least to my eyes, though beefier!

  best car for the dollar - 2005 Scion TC
  By malk - July 18 - 2:06 pm

  This is by far the most fun car Ive ever driven. The 160hp is more than ample power to handle everyday driving, not to mention beating Civics off the line. The center console is beautifully designed and well crafted without any dials that clash with the rest of the car, which is also with high quality materials. And with a laundry list of options, and aftermarket tuner parts by TRD and AEM, the fun with this car never stops. My only complaints are the blindspot in the driver side rear window and the gearshift. The shifter is loose. At a quick glance, first gear can look like third gear. A sinxth gear would be nice too. The engine revs a bit high travelling at highway speed.

  Great Fun Coupe!! - 2005 Scion TC
  By jaimean - July 8 - 2:53 pm

  I had a rough time waiting for the dealer to get me the car I ordered, and ended up getting one available in the dealer after I got tired of waiting for almost two months. The color is not the one I ordered, but the indigo blue is just as nice. The perfomance is outstanding, great handling on the road, and fun to drive. The interiro design brings a lot of attention to the people that looks at it; they say it looks like a pricey car. I just hope it lives up to my expectations, but knowing is a Toyota-made car, I have no doubts about it...

  Great Car!! - 2005 Scion TC
  By OMork06 - July 1 - 6:26 am

  Bought my Scion about 6 months ago. Its been the best decision I couldve ever made. The only thing that was a concern was the 50,000 miles already put on the engine. With the miles already on engine, it runs great with its powerful 2.4 engine but wouldnt hurt to go a little faster. The car looks great stock! Bought mine slammed about 5 inches off the ground and takes corners like a champ! Great on gas, especially when I drive from PHX to LA about every month. AC comes in handy with the 120 degree weather in the AZ.

  Whats not to love??? - 2005 Scion TC
  By tc_lover_baltimore - June 28 - 10:33 am

  I traded in my 1 year old Camry for this just because I was tired of being anonymous and driving something that wasnt really FUN. Sure the storage in the tC isnt as plentiful, but the one thing I loved about my Camry was that silky smooth and powerful 4 cylinder - and the tC has that with 300 less pounds. Add that to the exceptional handling and its genuine GREAT looks and this was one car I couldnt wait to own. THANK YOU Toyota for adding yet another great product to your line-up!

  Couldnt Ask for More - 2005 Scion TC
  By Caleb - June 20 - 3:40 pm

  Want more bang for your buck? Electric seats? HA! try finding another car built this well that performs this sharply! I changed my spark plugs to NGK iridium and now get 33 mpg hwy! Im 62" and actually find the car more comfortable than my 98 eclipse! The jellybean shape helps to provide a lot of headroom . There isnt much headroom in the back though, but enough theres legroom for someone who is 6 tall to sit behind me. You cant ask for much more than that. With a bombproof engine, BMW styling and a pandoras box of power just waiting to be opened you cant beat the performance or styling of this vehicle until you reach $22,000 with the supercharged Saturn, but then your car isnt as well built! Do the math on that one!
