  Not all that - 2005 Scion TC
  By kevin - January 5 - 8:03 am

  I was expecting a lot from the Scion tC because everyone told me "best bang for your buck" but to me it didnt deliver. You can tell Toyota really cut corners when building this car, and thats why they offer it for so cheap. The interior would constantly rattle to the point I hated driving it. My radio cover would squeak and the hatch would always rattle. The sunroof covers started to sag after 12,000 miles. Gas mileage is pathetic considering Toyota makes 270 hp V6 with the same MPG. After a year and a half of owning I traded it in.

  Good Car with a Noisy Engine - 2005 Scion TC
  By 99custom - January 15 - 10:57 pm

  Its my wifes car, but I do all the work on it. Its a good car for the price, but the engine is very loud. If you do your research you will see a problem with waterpumps going out, lifters tapping, and cold starts making lots of noise. Another problem I have encountered is the breaks. They always make noise in reverse, no matter what. Im not using cheap parts either. Of course my rear hatch broke, Its been JB-welded for years now..LOL. But the car runs good and does not consume oil like others have mentioned online.

  This cars air conditioner fails to cool in over 90 degree weather. Also, it has a poor paint job, it chips extremely easily. Also, I have been having trouble with the window moldings.

  The car of your dreams - 2005 Scion TC
  By Rashed - October 8 - 10:00 am

  The car is cheap. The interior is cheap and the there isnt alot of room in the car. The backseats dont have much room. At a stoplite when I am in front, the car next to always beats me.

  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.

  Nightmare - 2005 Scion TC
  By STANGMAC8183 - May 13 - 8:16 pm

  I traded in a 2001 Acura Integra GSR for a 2005 Scion TC, that was the biggest mistake in my life car wise. My scion was in the shop 13 times in 3 months. The windshield was replaced bc it broke due to bad weather stripping. The rear hatch panels as well at the glove box were all replace. There are to many problems to list but this car was a nightmare, I traded it in after just 9 months

  My Horrible Experience - 2005 Scion TC
  By Billy - December 12 - 11:46 pm

  I bought this car with 167 mi. on it and since I drove it off the lot its been nothing but problems. It has been in the shop 6 weeks total time, has been repainted, and Im still having problems with it. The sunroof wont stop creaking (even though Ive had it "fixed" twice), the CD player broke, the ac/heat button are sticking for some unknown reason, and sometimes the heat doesnt even work. Worst car I have EVER owned.
