  • Great Car - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I got the car in late August and so far I have put on about 3,000 miles. I love everything about it from the ride quality to build quality. The panoramic roof is great for a standard feature. It looks like a BMW and drives smoothly. Its the best car and the best deal compared to the Mazda3 and Honda Civic. I have no complaints.

  • Never let me down - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    Reliable car, great price point, never had any big issues. It does consume quite a bit of oil in between oil changes so I add a few quarts here and there but no other real problems. I took several long road trips in this car and always felt safe. The only complaint I have is that there is a HUGE blind spot on the passenger side so you really have to turn your head and look, you cannot rely on the side view mirror.

    The steering in my Scion tC is just a bit too tight - but that is the ONLY thing to complain about. This car has plenty of power for a 4-cyl. and a great cabin design. It also has plenty of room, lots of bells and whistles, and I didnt have to sell a kidney to buy it. It really is the best value I can remember in recent years.

    I had a 2005 Scion tC that i just wrecked and totaled out about a week ago. I hit another car doing 45 mph and aside from being knocked unconcious from the airbags for about 15 min, I got only one minor scrach from the knee airbag as my only injury. I actually opened the door and walked away with no help at all. I give this car GREAT marks on saftey and performance and Im about to get another to replace my toatled one. As for the people that talk bout gas, ITS A SPORTS CAR! I averaged 30 mpg and NEVER under 28. This is the BEST car for the money. I love the car!

  • instant attitude. - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I have owned this car for two years now and I am ready to write a review. The low sloping roof reminds me of the custom 1950s mercs. The monster sunroofs add to the attitude. As far as performance goes, I have no complaints. The manual transmission model comes with a 4:20 final gear ratio. (thems drag racing gears). The 5 speed can take a little bit to get used to with the electronic throttle control, but once you get it figured out you will own the road. To sum it up, this is the best car I have ever owned. If this car were $5,000 more, I would pay it and still be just as content. As far as fuel economy goes.I have averaged 40 mpg on long trips at 65 mph. Much better than advertised.

  • My First 2006 Scion tC - 2006 Scion TC

    Had trouble finding a dealer that would sell a tC basically stock. I ordered it thanks to an Edmunds.com referal. Ordered on a Wednesday, picked it up the following Wednesday. All I added was the mats.

    Its been 8 months since I purchased my new Scion tC. It is an excellent car for the price. My only suggestion would be to increase the length of the car a little bit, so it looks more sleek and nice. The drive is very comfortable and its a very stable car .

  • Excellent - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I have loved my Scion tC from the day I picked it up at the dealership. It handles so very well for me. The pickup is great when starting up. I am a short woman and I love that the car doesnt seem to overwhelm me with size.

  • My tC - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    I do not own the tC yet but plan to own the 2006 Scion tC in my opinion I believe it is the best brand new car out their for under 20,000 dollars. I also recommend other into buying this car.

  • Fun, Fun, Fun - 2006 Scion TC
    By -

    The tC is a great car! Ive owned it for one year and I love it. It is fun to drive and peppy. My freinds and co-workers all want to drive it. It has only one minor problem which is a squeek under the dash below the steering column at times. I bought this car to commute to work and enjoy the ride, even in traffic. It has a great stance and looks somewhat like a BMW. What you get for the money in this car cannot be beat by any manufacurer. It will last because its a Toyota. A co- worker has tried to by a used one but cant find one except for $2,000 more than what I paid new. That should speak volumes about the resale value. I highly recommend this car.
