    This car is as stable as a castle, and even without the supercharger can take Civics!! Luxurious, fun, pleasing to the eye, and a great value that keeps you happy at the pump.

    Have a great impression from other driver, smooth to drive, a lot of admirers of this car. The look of this car I would say "half BMW, half TSX, half G35 coupe".

    You can see by my milage I drive a lot and love this car. I dont know how Edmunds.com only averaged 21.6 mpg in it, I drive hard and my worst tank was 26.5! I get 29-30 communting to work & 30-33 on trips. The only change that I would like to see would be to add a 6-speed, it needs another clog at freeway speeds.

    This car is so much fun to drive around. It turns on a dime and handles great. Bucket seats in front and back are comfortable, even for road trips. I have always got better than 30 mpg, with the AC on, (over 40 with the wind at my back). AC doesnt feel as cold or powerful as some other vehicles, and has a hard time cooling off in hotter weather but it works fine when Im by myself. My car does have a lot of road noise though, dont think thats a default on all makes though. Ive put 40K miles on in 2 years and my biggest replacement was new tires when I got it.

    I bought my TC 3 weeks ago I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! It looks great (heads will turn:) and it is very responsive and fun to drive. Every other day, I discover a new feature I didnt know about! It only shows me how much R&D Toyota must have put into the creation of this car. Save your time test-driving cause the Acura RSX, Hyundai Tiburon and Honda Civic dont hold a candle to the value and performance of the Scion TC!

    I am more happy than Lexus RX330 I had for a year. Lexus is a great car but it was just too pampering that I felt old in that car. This little tC has some stuff young people will enjoy and the design that even snobby architects (my coworkers) will love.

  • Best Car Yet - 2005 Scion TC
    By -

    This is by far the best car Ive owned yet. Quality, interior room (surprisingly, back seats are very spacious), performance, style and appearance are all top-notch. I had 130K without a single issue (besides rear-brake replacement), and its unfortunate were switching it out for a more family-friendly vehicle. Great car!

    I love my new scion tC. Be sure to honk and wave at fellow owners. The only negative thing I can think of to say about this car is that when you drive into a steep parking lot, you often hear a "popping" sound around the sunroof area (no doubt a result of a shifting frame). However, since the entire top is made of glass and not steel, it is not surprising.

    I will say that just about every review I have read here is quite accurate about the new TC. Great value nontheless.
