  Great Car! - 2005 Scion TC
  By Matt - April 25 - 3:06 pm

  There is no better deal out there. For all of the standard features you get and the power, this car should cost $20,000. The standard transmission is tons of fun and sporty. It has lots of power and a sporty feel when driving while maintaining a comfortable drive. I dont know how Scion is making any money on these with all of the bells and toys that they have in there.

  Rockin tc - 2005 Scion TC
  By jblee - April 20 - 6:30 am

  What a great ride! Ive had mine about 3 months & 2800 miles and love it. You dont see a lot on the road which is nice. Cant believe all the stuff that comes standard. Could use more HP but Toyota now has the turbo for these puppies as a dealer option. Only option I have are the factory airbags - all this for $17,200!! Could defintely use a 6th gear as I run about 3500 rpms at 75 mph. Stereo system rocks for a "stock" unit! My kids fit in the back seat with no problems. So far so good!..

  21,000 and Going Strong - 2005 Scion TC
  By Tom J Dixon - April 15 - 7:53 am

  I ordered the Scion TC without a test drive or ever seeing one. The car was delivered with papers ready. The first impression was that the car looked great! Jumped inside and my head was at ceiling level! However, with a few pushes down on the seat height and I was in heaven. I have driven through the Smoky Mountains and the car sticks like glue and I never have to downshift. Plenty of Power! Six months have passed and only complaints, Needs sixth gear to increase the 29mpg that I get to mid thirties. Radio cover squeaks and the radio needs a dial. Love the MP3 playback and Ive programmed the radio screen to read "I Love Anita" when it comes on. Love the Dual Sunroof! Great, Great Value!!

  Fun to Drive, but Lots of Problems - 2005 Scion TC
  By mully - April 15 - 7:20 am

  I see everyone loves this car, and I do too except for all of the problems! Rattles, rattles everywhere. My sunroof doesnt close, front brakes make a clicking noise constantly, hatch rattles, dashboard rattles and squeeks. it also doesnt help that my dealership is terrible. I probably have the most mileage of anyone I have talked to (24,000), but the car just doesnt seem to be holding up well. The paint is very cheap, the front of the car has so many scratches and chips you cant even see the color of the car (indigo ink). Overall I love the car, I just hate all the issues it has. I will be returning to Honda now that the new Civic is out.

  My First New Car - 2005 Scion TC
  By DC - April 2 - 9:30 pm

  Has a look that attracts attention...take into consideration what cars are in the same price class and this most likely be your choice. I had planned to get mine with all the options and did just the opposite...my car has nothing added and it is fantastic...

  This is a great car for the price. I am contemplating buying a newer one this year because I love it so much. It is pretty on the outside as well as in!

  Great - 2005 Scion TC
  By princekofa - March 27 - 9:43 am

  This car is so much fun to drive! It looks great and makes you feel great!. What a brilliant idea from toyota to market this to the younger crowd-its a toyota but scion sounds so much more cool. Plus, very affordable.

  What a Lemon! - 2005 Scion TC
  By jcf - March 23 - 7:20 am

  Lets see, theres the soft paint that chips too easily, the long doors you usually cant open, the squeaky rear hatch, the sagging rear deck cover, the annoying bright beam light indicator, the horrible stereo cover, the inconvenient stereo buttons, the stupid partially lit brake light, the unsteady cruise control, the marginal air conditioning, and the mediocre gas mileage. Most of all, theres the popping, cracking, rattling moonroof thats plagued my car for most of its 20,000 miles, despite four dealership repairs. The car looks good and runs great, but its so full of problems that Id never recommend it to anyone.

  pretty good overall - 2005 Scion TC
  By andrea - March 17 - 3:40 am

  I have had this car for over three years and I feel I can make an adequate assessment of the vehicle. The car is not made of the best quality parts. The pain chips and the body dents easily. The gas mileage is OK, and I find it hard to believe the manual trans gets worse mileage than the auto. I take the car in every 5k for oil changes/maintenance and have treated it well. The hatchback rattles like crazy in 40 or below weather and the hatchback struts gave out on me after about a year of having the car (not covered in the extended warranty). You feel every bump on the road, but I guess that is due to low pro tires. It is slippery in the snow, but handles well in rain. Great CA car!
