  • Love it!!! - 2005 Scion TC

    I absolutely love my car!!! The only thing is that it is awful on gas (compared to the 2003 Corolla I had previously and traded in) and with gas prices on the rise...it makes it a big issue.

    I got this car 2 days ago, and I dont ever want to get out of it. It rides so comfortably, yet there is very little body roll in turns. The design and build quality are impeccable. The styling is both eye catching and luxurious, inside and out. There is some torque steer, but thats to be expected on a front wheel drive with so much torque. The sound system is excellent. For the price, you really cant beat the tC. All in all, the tC is a solid piece of engineering, as well as a very fun and easy to drive automobile.

    A great car. More power, More Feutures and more space at less than more expensive cars. I love the two moonroofs, Built in CD MP3 player and standard ABS brakes. A quiet comforatable sports car for 17,000. WOW!

  • Fun Coupe for an Awesome Price - 2005 Scion TC

    For only slightly more money than a Dodge Neon or a Chevy Cobalt (non SC) the performance that you get from the Scion tC is excellent. It rides smoothly and corners tightly. It is fuel efficient and I havnt had one problem with it in over 20,000 miles so far. I knew the engine would be no problem because it is taken right from the Toyota Camry. This car has rock solid performance and is affordable!

  • Good Car with a Noisy Engine - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Its my wifes car, but I do all the work on it. Its a good car for the price, but the engine is very loud. If you do your research you will see a problem with waterpumps going out, lifters tapping, and cold starts making lots of noise. Another problem I have encountered is the breaks. They always make noise in reverse, no matter what. Im not using cheap parts either. Of course my rear hatch broke, Its been JB-welded for years now..LOL. But the car runs good and does not consume oil like others have mentioned online.

  • Fun Car - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Basically bought this car sight unseen and feel that I was rewarded for my patience in waiting for it to be deliverd. It is fun to drive, comfortable for both my wife and I (I am 6). If I were to buy it again, I would opt for the 5 speed to make it more fun to drive.

  • Great car if yours isnt damage prone - 2005 Scion TC

    GREAT CAR otherwise, but doesnt seem to do too well in snow. current milage 9k and the power steering broke. the car also shakes violently and when going through dips on the road, the car has great momentum (i get car sick). im in the midst of getting this fixed... i think it was due to the snow.
