  • Excellent Vehicle for Price - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Drives beautifully and i love racing my friends in it. Could use slightly more power, but for $16,500. i EASILY beats honda civics, ford focus, VW 1.8T, toyota celicas, and more. Interior quality is top notch, and exterior styling from bmw 3 series, nissan skyline, and the new GTO/G6 gives the car the complete edge over others. I LOVE getting looks from other drivers and beating em at the line. Although some complain of the weight, i love that it has some beef because it gives it the weight that puts cars on the higher class level, such as lexus, bmw, and mercedes. The heavier the car, the easily noticed better build quality that it accompanies.

  • Should cost more! - 2005 Scion TC

    I have found nothing in this car to complain about. Value for the dollar sold me. The roof is so alike the one on a Mercedes C Coupe that they must share parts (my only fear - I hope Toyota refined it). The Civic coupe may be in trouble!

    I had this car for a whole week now and Im loving everyday with this vehicle. The excitement that I get when driving this car is knowing that Im the only one in my area with this car. Real Head turner.

  • Best in Class - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Best car in class, hands down. Ive driven the Mazda3 (M3) and while not as responsive (or "sportie") as the M3, overall it is a much better car then the M3. Build quailty is FAR better on the tC, Interior is laid out better, ride is less harsh, good low down torque. Overall, the quality of daily driving the tC makes up for not being as well tuned as the M3. One problem is that the dealership treats you like dirt. Low profit = unhappy dealers. My car had 3 bad scratches/chips, pulled to the right, and the sunroof cracked when I took dilivery, they refused to fix the problems. That was AFTER they promised theyd fix everything IF I told Toyota I was happy with my dealership experence.

  • The Real Deal on the tC - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    This car is great. The power of the tuned up Camry engine is awesome in this small car. Actually once youre inside its not small at all. Im 61 and my seat isnt even back all the way and theres tons of room in the back. I dont get 20 mpg either but it is easy to know why. I cant resist pushing the pedal. I dont see how anyone could! This car is very fun to drive. Sometimes I even take the long way home! As for engine noise, I have the TRD exhaust so I couldnt tell you much there. The only problem I did have was the Hercules tires, not sure if they were stock. Sunroof cover is cheap but who cares?

  • I love this car - 2005 Scion TC

    This car is excellent. I love how it rides, how it drives and handles. And for the price you cant beat it. Mine is indigo ink with the ground effects, exhaust and I even added leather.

  • I have a white scion - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I purchased mine about two weeks ago and I have yet to find something that I do not like about it. I guess I wish it was faster, but what should I expect from 160 horsepower? It is exactly what I needed.

    Ive had the tC for 2 weeks now and I love it! It drives great, despite me learning to drive manual on it! My co-workers and friends were impressed with all the standard features. Im still breaking it in and I have about 500 miles on it so far.

  • Best Car for Your Money!!! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I have never had so much fun owning and driving a car!! So many people stop me to ask about it. It handles like a dream and has a suprising amount of power. I never thought I would want a two door car because of the leg-room issue but this car has more room than my 4-door Alero. It is definatly worth every penny!

  • KGs new tC - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    from the second I saw this vehicle on the showroom floor I knew I had to have it. It is beautiful inside and out, and is a blast to drive. No other car under 20k can offer as much as the tC. Not only is it priced cheap, but scion has set up an array of aftermarket parts and service that is matched by none. enough of me telling you about this car, just be on the lookout for the new tuner craze replacement............ the Scion tC!
