  • Great Quality at an AFFORDABLE price! - 2005 Scion TC

    I bought this car a month ago. Its the best buy you can get that comes standard with everything and is affordable as well. The interior is great, the exterior looks sharp, and it is WAY fun to drive. I was looking at the Honda Civic and the Mazda 3, but if I went with those I would have been settling for something I didnt love. This car is perfect!!!

    I picked this car up and I can barely put the keys down before I want to get back into it. This car is really fun to drive and man does it look good. The bright red gets alot of attention so you have to watch your speed. As fas a comfort this car is amazing. The interior is very spacious. My recommedation is that if your going to buy a new car, test drive this one last because your going to take it home.

  • All I gotta say is WOW! - 2005 Scion TC

    First of all, I am Mr. BMW who traded in a 1997 BMW 540i 6-speed manual for my new Scion tC. I am not only enjoying the european/japanese feel of this car, I am getting better gas mileage and love the looks of it. Everyone checks this car out and they have all the reasons to! It has a great look to it on the outside and all the features, fit and finish and comfort on the inside! By the way, I am loving the upgraded leather. MP3 is awesome!

  • Overall a great vehicle - 2005 Scion TC

    Best features: Sporty & Stylish - gets lots of attention from people, everyone likes it. Power - Engine provides effortless acceleration and its fun to drive. Slight Problems: Gas Mileage - Gets roughly 30... not bad but it could be better. Stereo Cover - Doesnt seem to work all the time, hard to get open. Its not just mine, ive seen this problem mentioned in other reviews also.

  • Not perfect but good - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    Bought this car used privately and so far its been fantastic. The rear trunk latch/garnish is utter bs. Apparently its a big problem with the tCs, but $150 part and $80 installation fee was pretty bad for a flimsy piece of plastic. The car rattles a bit and the moonroof is extremely touchy. Gets really loud inside at freeway speeds. Kinda crappy gas mileage for such a small car, too. The interior plastics seem kind of cheap. Other than that its very reliable, fun to drive, looks very cool and the engine is very powerful!

    Finally, Toyota has something to beat the RSX Type S. Only now its $4000 cheaper.

  • loving my tC - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I love my black cherry Scion tC. I get so many compliments on the way it looks people actually stop and ask me what kind of car it is. Obviously i tell them its a Scion made by Toyota and how you get so much for the money. Mind you, I am 44 years old and out of the minivan stage. So I thought why not buy something that is young, fun and classy looking at the same time.

  • My 1st Real Big Purchase! - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    I couldnt be happier w/ this car. Everything that i had ask for. The stock rims,moonroofs,keyless entry..everything. i was comparing this car to the honda accord coupe and boy do they charge you for every option you put on. But w/ the scion tc~its all stock. I love the fact that i have only seen 1 so far on the road, and everywhere i go,i get comments on my car. its a great feeling. Also, another added plus to this car is the fact that it is a camry motor, so it is reliable!!!
