  • I love it - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    For the price of the car and the standard features that it comes with, it just seems too good to be true. I would have expected to pay more. I also love the no haggel, no hassel, policy. You shouldnt feel like youve been raped when buying a car.

  • Absoultely impressed with my tC! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Mine is Flint Mica (beautiful) & I could not be happier with the car! It has everything I wanted in a new car (except leather) - & most of it is standard equpiment. Unbeatable for the $$! Sun/moon roof is very cool, the cloth seats are sporty & comfortable (not made of that "plush crap" they sometimes use). Center console is really nice to look at and very easy to use. It has great pick up - super sporty look & solid feel. Radio/CD player sounds awesome. This car looks much more expensive than it is (most of my friends guess it cost over $25,000), and right now it gets stares (few out)! Wheels/tires kick butt! Not as luxurious or powerful,

  • not too happy with Toyota/Scion - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I have had this car for over 3 years; I have grown to HATE it. It is so small. It is so cheap, you really do get what you pay for when it comes to Scion. The car makes noise, hit a bump and you will hear the car make noise for the rest of your life, it creeks and rattles over every bump. The front bumper scrapes on EVERYTHING. The sunroof whistles, the rear hatch does not stay up, a/c condensation leaked into the radio - I now have no radio/speakers, mpg should be better, tires (no matter what brand) slide/slip in rain/snow and need replacing fast, brakes don’t last the same of other cars. Poorly built car, very disappointing coming from Toyota.

  • It could be better - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    The storage room in this car is great. I had four 16" wheels and tires from my truck in the back once - no problem! Love the reclining back seat. The front seats have good support, but the leg room in the front is cramped. The stereo sounds best when it is turned up loud. The power is amazing for a car of this type and it is fun to drive.

  • cant be beat - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    great car, looked at the jetta TDI but with a price of 5k more this was a better deal plus it has a toyota motor.You can get a better car but you would have to pay a lot more for it. drives great, lots of looks. gets good mpg as long as you keep your foot out of it.

  • Good car for the Money! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I tested the Scion tC vs. the Pontiac G6, Mazda3, Honda Civic Coupe, Kia Spectra, and Chevy Cobalt. The Scion is better equipped for the price than all others but the Kia, and is just a much better car overall than the Kia. Its nearly as fun as the Mazda, even though its thousands less with the options. It is a good buy. You wont regret it.

  • the 02 Accord coupe is gone.....FINALLY - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    First saw the tC at the Chicago Auto show in Feb, its been a long 6 months but WORTH THE WAIT! Just finalized the tC deal today, it goes back for the dealer installed spoiler in a few days. AWESOME head-turning good looks, features NOT found on many cars, much less in the tC price range...dual auto-down power windows, dual walk-in front seats, spring loaded fold down rear seat backs, awesome sunroof system, waterfall dash, beautiful 17" wheels, ABS, four wheel disc brakes, etc! Ride is firm and responsive, NOT harsh. ECT automatic is great. It feels substantial, solid and well built. Its made to be driven!!! Im 6"4" and have plenty of room inside.

  • GREAT CAR - 2005 Scion TC
