  • Best Bang For Your Buck - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    The tC, I believe, is the best bang for your buck that is out there. I am 61" and I fit PERFECTLY in the car. The drive of the vehicle is unmatched by ANY competitors in its class. Sure, there may be "stronger" motors as way of horsepower, but bang for your buck, you cant go wrong.

  • Great Car! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I have been waiting for this car to arrive since Winter, and I bought the first one in my city. Ive put 600 miles on it so far, and havent regretted my purchase for a minute. Nice power, great handling, eye-catching looks and Lexus-like build quality... What more could one ask for? More importantly, what more could one buy for under $18K?

  • Geat Car - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought this car new in 2004 and still think its great! I have taken six trips to Tennessee in it 540 miles one way and always get 30 miles per gallon doing 75-80 mph. I have yet to drive it in the winter though. I really like the looks of the car, the only complaint, is that when I first drive it sometimes the sunroof rattles, oh and I traded my new Honda Civic EX for it, now that was a really slow car. You cant get a better car for the money than the TC.

  • I love my car!!! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I absolutely love my tC. Drives great, looks great, feels much more expensive than it really is. It suits my personality very well and Im very excited to have it.

  • My favorite car so far - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I had to unexpectedly buy a new car. My last car was a Ponitac Sunfire. What an upgrade! My tC is so awesome! I love it so much. I got it in red with the painted rims. It looks so hot. I get asked a lot of questioned about it. Its a great looking car and its great to drive. I am very happy with my car.

  • TC and Loving it - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I have only had the car for about 3 months now. So far I havent pushed it too much but im approaching 3k so Im gonna get on it soon. As of yet it hasnt disappointed me in the power dept, but 1st gear is a dog. Loving the ride but wishing I spent the money on the exhaust.

  • tC is way too Cool - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    its been one week since I got my tC totally cool. I pretty much like everything about it. its plenty fast,ride comfort,breaking, you name it, its better than Iexpected. quality of this car inside out is as good as anything over 20 grand. compare with civic is a joke.

  • Not Bad - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought mine used after reading mostly good things for a not-too-expensive sporty coupe. I think that the car should get better fuel mileage for a relatively small engine. Also, the interior materials are fairly easily marred from a simple wedding ring or touching it with your key. On the good side, it has plenty of torque and is a great car to learn to drive a manual or if you dont have good knees but still want a manual as a lot of shifting is not required for function.

  • Buy it today! I love mine - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Buy it today! I love mine. And others compliment me too. Its fun to drive, smooth, sporty and fuel efficient. Plus, no body has it. Get it. The quality and reliability is #1 becaue it has a Toyota camry engine and Toyota/lexus make the best reliable cars. Plus it was made in Japan, unlike all the Toyotas.

  • Thunder - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    this car is awesome.. but it needs better interior functions... (A/C controls looks lame)... they need to have a convertable version of tC. and more horse-power/ torch-power... the exterior looks good except the back lights... thats all for NOW!!
