Overview & Reviews
For 2009, the Scion tC line loses the tuner-oriented, decontented Spec trim, leaving the well-equipped standard version as the sole offering.
- Generous standard equipment list, power and handling suitable for everyday driving, roomy backseat and cargo area.
- Limited headroom for taller drivers, not as involving to drive as some competitors.

Issue with clutch - 2009 Scion TC
By Nathan - July 1 - 9:06 amI bought my tC back in december 2008. At 2200 miles my clutch and flywheel go out. The dealership says they wont warranty the repairs and want to charge me $1,440 to fix it. Im getting a lawyer today.

2009 Scion TC - 2009 Scion TC
By Carly - November 26 - 9:26 pmI bought my Scion TC after driving almost every car on the market that was under $25,000 and being a previous Mazda salesperson and Mazda3 owner. I fell in love with the vehicle inside and out. I have had 2 problems with the car not starting and Toyota cannot figure out the problem. When I took the car in for service they always give me a loaner car and always call me with updates on its status. Its been a few months since the problem and I love the car otherwise.

luv it - 2009 Scion TC
By luv it - October 2 - 8:06 amI love my 2009 tc. After having my car for a month, the only thing I have found wrong with the car is the seats, the seats stain very easily. After washing my car I opened my moonroof which I love a few water drops landed on the seats staining them making the seat look dirty. The material also picks really easy but other than that the car is great love it

Sexy, fun to drive tC - 2009 Scion TC
By decseh - August 1 - 4:03 amThis car is so much fun to drive. For what you get with this car and the looks you cant beat the price. Plus you get Toyota reliability as a perk. Ive only had my car for a month, but overall I am satisfied and impressed. It has many more features than me $32K Jeep did. Its only a few more dollars a month, its brand new, and gets me a lot better gas mileage. I am very glad I looked this way. I drove a Corolla, Civic, and a few other competitors and none really compared to this car. I suggest you drive one. My other car is an automatic, and I didnt like the tC when I drove it in an auto even though it was peppy, the manual won me over. Scion dealers are easy to work with too.

Love and HATE Relationship - 2009 Scion TC
By kcady - March 4 - 4:10 pmI bought my tC Brand new in 2009! I loved it for awhile, I love the look of my car and its great on gas other then that I was dissappointed! I lose control of my car in the wind! getting around in the snow is a joke! Went through the stock tires around 12k, the air conditioner sucks, anyone over 6 foot will be cramped in your car, my car is always in the shop for something! very basic..... I was in a car accident, I was very surprise how good it held up. The other car was totalled, while mine needed just a big dent repair! I would advise someone to really consider your options and rule Scion out!

Sleek, sexy, sporty and affordable ! - 2009 Scion TC
By Jim - April 20 - 6:43 pmHad my 09 tC for two months - adore it! Superb performance and handling. Response is crisp and solid. Rides low to the ground. No problems with build quality or function. Great cruise control. No acceleration delay, very quick off the line and smooth pickup. The premium 160 watt stereo is incredibly loud - too much bass at times but terrific iPod control. Love the panoramic moonroof. My only complaints are that the gauges are hard to read in daylight, esp the speedometer. Dont like the orange gauge lights - wish they could change to blue like the stereo can. Im 6 tall and the back seat is very cramped but I never sit there anyway! Doors are a little long. Great value for the price.
