    I purchased my Scion tc on October 31, 2004. I now have over 7000 miles on it. It is a beautiful Flint Mica. For the price, you cannot get a better car! As I park and walk into stores, Ive been approached by people who ask me about the vehicle and are intrigued by its style and unique look. When I tell them more about the car they are even more amazed. Most importantly, it is fun to drive.

    This car is awsome in just about every aspect. The price , style, and performance. What more can you ask for out of it.

    I owned a 4-door Altima before this car. There is no comparison. First of all, the car looks like a million bucks, inside and out. Secondly, the engine is not only adequate, but also well-laid-out and easy to work on. The handling is responsive and very playful. Did I mention that it looks like a million bucks? BTW, baby blue is definitely the best color for it :)

    I know that this car is marketed toward a younger crowd, but I really enjoy this car! Its affordable, great looking, rides well, and its so much fun to drive. This car is a great value for the money, for ANY age group.

  • Love my Tc - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I bought my Tc used with only 23k miles. very rare to find an 05 vehicle with such low miles for a three year old car. it is very sporty and has a very good turn radius. love the pioneer system in it i put it on feel and its good to go. handling is very good and it handles curves very well around corners even at speeds of 80mph. not sure bout mpg yet considering im still calculating but it is way better than my old truck. i bought this car as an alternate to a mustang since my mother said i couldnt have one considering im still 17. but i love this car and what else is awesome is that it has the same name as my dad, his name is TC too. lol

    My daughter was in a major accident, involving the following scenario. Person merged into the car sending into a spin, then hit again and was airborn for a full 360 landing on drivers side, sliding into the back of a flat bed big rig, righting back onto wheels and sending across 4 lanes of freeway. This occured at 65 mph. Both driver and passenger walked out of car. The car is a complete total but occupants okay, other than severe whiplash. Amazing!

  • Fun, I guess.. - 2005 Scion TC

    I got this car after looking around at similar cars. This one seemed like the best buy. After having it for a couple of months I had to take it in to have a protective screen put on the moonroof. A few months later the moonroof had trouble closing. It would get close to closing then open all the way again, it now still takes about one minute for it to close completely. Other than that I havent had many problems with it. It doesnt handle very well in rainy/snowy conditions and I can feel the tires slipping a lot. It is a great car though for adding on aftermarket parts. I put on cold-air intake and new exhaust, and like it a lot. It is a good car for its price, but dont expect too much.
