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.

Fun to Drive - 2009 Scion TC
By Kevin - December 11 - 3:56 pmI debated for quite some time which car to look at and chose this one simply because it comes with some awesome standard features for a very reasonable price. I love driving this car, I test drove the automatic but ended up getting the manual and I am glad I did. Even though it is a compact car, theres plenty of room up front. The car looks wonderful, inside and out, even considering I dont like the other Scion models.

2009 Scion Tc (Waveline Pearl) - 2009 Scion TC
By whatisbam - June 28 - 5:20 amI bought my Tc on a complete whim! Actually paid for it before I even placed hands on it. I drove 3 hours to pick it up and what I found upon arrival was nothing short of what I expected. Beauty is in its simplicity and somewhere in its simplicity is a hidden power that I do love. Its sporty, with a back seat! Everything this 22 year-old single father will ever need. Kudos to Scion!

Awesome Car at Awesome Price - 2009 Scion TC
By scchilling74 - June 14 - 2:46 pmI have owned this car for almost a year and I must say I still love to drive it. I have owned allot of cars over the years and I usually get bored with them after a few months, but not my tC. This car has the necessary power, style and comfort to keep you coming back for more. I really like that Toyota did the first two scheduled maintenance services for free. The car is put together well and offers a spacious sleek design for a coupe. I went from driving a truck to my tC and I havent missed my truck, aside from the occassional need to haul something big. I got the optional Nav system which was a bit pricey but worth the money.

Amazing car! - 2009 Scion TC
By Megs - April 5 - 6:46 amI bought this car 3 days ago and I LOVE it! I was actually looking at pontiac g5s and Chevy Malibus before being dragged to look at Toyotas by my parents. I didnt really like anything I saw until I saw the Scion. I am not a fan of hatchbacks or small cars at all, but after test driving it and all the features it had just as a stock car I was impressed. It has a lot of torque for such a small car and is so much fun to drive. It doesnt even look like the ugly boxy cars I pictured as Scions.

Great Car but - 2009 Scion TC
By LJB - December 2 - 1:23 amI bought my car in May. I fell in love with it. But about a week ago it popped out of gear (manual). I have just found out that the synchronizers failed and they are replacing at least 3rd gear in the tranny. After getting the diagnosis I looked it up and apparently this has been a problem on and off since 2005. I am hoping that the fix will resolve the issue permanently and that this isnt an ongoing thing. The dealership is currently repairing the car and have been great but they never mentioned that to me when discussing a manual versus an automatic. Even now they didnt mention it was a known problem. I researched it. Other then this issue, I love this car through and through.

Great Value - 2009 Scion TC
By Breimann - February 23 - 3:00 am9000 miles and not a single problem! I like to tinker and working on the car is very easy. Anyway, car rides great, handling could be a little better (came from a Celica) but it still maintains a fun-to-drive factor. Where else can you get such a long list of features for the money?

Great Car! - 2009 Scion TC
By Inga - March 3 - 9:13 amI have been so happy with this car. My son was in an accident and was hit on the driver side door and the airbags deployed and he walked away and played hockey that night. The car had $13,000 of damage but is as good as new now. The car has really great pick up and is so peppy and reliable and comfort. I love driving it.

First Car - 2009 Scion TC
By reyest - February 23 - 3:48 pmThe 09 Scion TC was my first car i bought. I had always liked them so i figure why not get one. I believe i was too anxious when buying this car and didnt look at more options. I love my car but just wish it was less quiet. Seems like when your on the highway its just really loud. Its a really fun car to drive and picks up speed pretty quick. I guess the only thing that bothers me is that its just loud on the hwy so if could change anything it would be that. Other than that overall an amazing car. My next car will defiantly be a larger Vehicle possibly a 4dr or a truck. Also not bad on gas as well.
