    2006 Scion tC

    Std shift poor quality

    Pros: Excellent ride yet good handling

    Cons: Poor quality on clutch

    Had this model for 4 years, had problems with clutch master cylinder at 47,000 miles, Toyota turned me down on warantee repairs, At 61,000 miles cluctch burned out due to poor repair. Then tire pressure monitor went haywire, sold the car in frustation,but the design and concept were good. I think Toyota has the GM disease.

    Awesome

    Pros: LED lighting and great handling

    This is a great 2 door coupe. Great handling & performance with a good ride. Has good mpg and quality. What really sold me on this car was the cool add ons available.

    2006 Scion tC - (M5)

    Pros: The full glass top, and the sliding glass moonroof

    Cons: I did not like the gas mileage at first, but once broken in, its normal for a car its size and being a sports car!

    Advice: GET ONE, they are awesome, you cant go wrong!

    This car is a great value, for a great price! Its very powerful, has quick acceleration, road noise is kind of loud (but with undercoating sound dampened). It puts you in your seat, and other than at take-off the most power is noticed in 3rd and 4th gear...I LOVE it, my friends love it..its attractive design and numerous features and aftermarket features are amazing!

    2005 Scion tC - (M5)

    Pros: Appearance, performance, quality, standard equipment

    Cons: Fuel economy

    Advice: Get the Azure Pearl (best-looking color for this car)

    I'm a long-time subcompact owner, and I was looking to replace my wonderful (but bland) Honda Civic. I read quite a bit about Scion, particularly the tC (didn't quite fit Toyota's target demographic being 48, but oh well). When I finally got the chance to test-drive one, I was hooked! The tC may be the best automotive value you can get for under $18,000. WHAT I LIKE: 1. Standard equipment(have yet to get any add-on accessories; don't need 'em! Lots of cool places to store your stuff, too) 2. Overall appearance (the car turns heads; I recommend the Azure Pearl finish, although this is apparently the hardest color to find) 3. Comfort (seats 4 adults comfortably; it's roomier than it looks) 4. Drivability (more than adequate acceleration, responsive handling, solid feel on road) 5. Quality (looks more expensive than it is; excellent fit-and-finish of materials) WHAT I DON'T LIKE 1. Fuel economy is a bit below-average for a subcompact. 2. Minor blind spot at the C-pillar. 3. Toyota may have a clear idea about how they want to market and sell this car, but I'm not sure the dealers do; almost seems as if they don't know how to sell it, and finding the color you want (particularly the above-mentioned Azure Pearl) might be difficult, depending on where you live. 4. Optional equipment (spoiler, foglamps, stereo upgrade) are a little pricey.
