  best low-medium budget car out there! - 2005 Scion TC
  By barbies_idol - November 22 - 10:00 am

  I absoultely love this car! Its practical, functional, economical, and looks good, too. It has high reviews across the board because it is built to Toyota quality and standards, yet retains the Scion brand price tag. The interior is designed with the driver in mind - nothing, is out of reach. There are multiple little cubby spaces for the storage of personal effects.

  Great Car for the Price! - 2005 Scion TC
  By stl.tc.king - November 20 - 1:50 pm

  After looking for quite a while at several different cars, I decided to buy a Scion tC. The major factors which led to my decision include the Camrys 2.4L engine (proven to be reliable), the styling, both interior as well as exterior, and the long list of standard features that are included within the base price (keyless entry, 17" alloy wheels, dual sunroofs, reclining rear seats, etc..) After my purchase, Scion has done a great job keeping buyers remorse to a minimum because of their superior marketing. I feel as if I "belong" to somewhat of a community of enthusiasts with similar interests.

  The Car of the Year - 2005 Scion TC
  By ALEX - October 22 - 9:00 pm

  I cant believe how well this car handles. Im breaking it in, not pushing it at all, and it amazes me in Its breaking abilities, handling, and acceleration. The fuel mileage isnt bad at all. If i was to say something bad about it, I perfer to haggle rather than dealing with a fixed price, but its worth it.

  Best Value - 2005 Scion TC
  By Blue Scion tC - October 20 - 2:10 am

  Started looking for a good gas mileage car (I drive 23k a year) but decided on the Scion. Looked at Elanta (didnt like dash) Corolla S (small hard plastic armrest and dash seem old fashioned) and Mazda 3 (too high price). While at Toyota dealership test drove the tC and couldnt resist getting it. It just ran great and had such a solid/quality feel to it. What I really liked was there were no options I had to buy. It already had 4wheel disc brakes, ABS, sunroof, cruise control and alloy wheels. Got 27mpg with first tank and 29 with second one. Overall, you just cant beat the value and quality and to me it was worth the extra $7 a week for gas.

  Great Car - 2005 Scion TC
  By Tom C - October 16 - 5:56 pm

  In a word, this car is awesome. I was shocked to find such a diamond for the price of a gumdrop. This thing is sporty, comfortable, AND economical. I absolutely love my car, and I compared it against the Mazda 3, the Ford Focus, and the Toyota Matrix, as well as the bigger Pontiac G6. Hands down, for the price, did I get the best performance vehicle.

  All Around Excellent Car - 2005 Scion TC
  By marat - October 11 - 10:00 am

  This car has been developed with people between the ages of 18-25 in mind. This car, however, would make an excellent match for any owner. The car provides great standard safety features (ABS, Knee airbags, side airbags), along with a very acceptable engine (2.4l 160hp, 163 lb-ft torque).The car also comes standard with many features that can be pricey in other cars (panorama moonroof, alloy 17in wheels, Pioneer sound system. From my experience, the gas mileage is very acceptable, and beats out several competitors. You feel comfortable and safe within the car, and wind noise is almost non- apparent.This car has the quality of Toyota with uniqueness of Scion

  tC Handles, Looks Great - 2005 Scion TC
  By tCOwner - October 5 - 10:00 am

  The tC offers extremely responsive steering and the handling capabilities of a sports car with the interior space - front seat and back - of a sedan. The 4 cylinder engine provides surprising acceleration while maintaining terrific gas mileage - nearly 30 mpg highway and 28 in the city. A long list of options makes the tC easy to personalize, although the car is fun to drive and just as fun to look at without any extras.

  Excellent Car - 2005 Scion TC
  By Dan - September 2 - 10:03 pm

  Not only one of the coolest cars ive ever driven, but with a LOAD of features that will knock ur socks off. Toyota build quality feels same as my Lexus IS 300 i bought back in 2003. Very Agile and the weight of the car makes it feel more expensive than it really is. With the power everything, sunroof, reliability, etc... id pay $22,000+ for this car as it has features not even $30,000 cars have. Strong first and 2nd gear on the manual is amazing and smokes people off the line. I get looks from the chicks all the time in this bad boy, a real head turner.

  16k well invested in a new car - 2005 Scion TC
  By Bazzgazm - August 31 - 1:23 pm

  The car has ample acceleration, response (not sports car) suspension and steering, and does actually get higher gas mileage than expected (the ones ive seen driven, all about 25- 27mpg). If you go in comparing to a 250hp suped up sports car, of course its not going to satisfy you. If you want a car that can move well, get you from point a to point b, and have a very attractive exterior. this is a great buy.
