Saw a scion Tc

Saw a scion Tc

i was coming into my school parking lot today when i noticed a nice shiny dealer plated silver tc. its pretty nice id probably take one. the back end looks really unique to me i dont know why. def improvement on the xA and xB i approve

definately.. just wait till the aftermarket parts start booming... the TC is a hot car.

yeah i saw a couple here in Corona and out of all the scions (if i had to pick), i would take that TC...

I Love The Tc

those things look awsome, with a drop and some tints, that's all i would do =D

i know its one hell of a car.. i just need some parts for it

I've been reading alot about them recently and they do have the potential. I want one for sure.

Those tranny issues remind me of my car. lol.

its only a few complaints that have been brought up iam crossing my fingers and hoping that its not a bad car

it's too heavy.. but for the money, it can't be beat..

gotta love the 2.4 camry lump

Man, You can't tell me that shit don't look good...Damn

Oh, by the way, I saw one at the Friday night drags where I live too. I have also posted this pick in the photoshop section, so have at it.

I've been reading on scionlife.com and there's a number of people who have problems w/ their tC's. Manual owners are already having transmissions replaced due to bad synchros, and other have had their rear ABS lock up, one even got into an accident from it.

what are they going for??

good luck getting one tho..

I'll be getting a IIP tC in Jan.

$16, 465 base price. Proabably around $19k for fully loaded.

Oh, and for that base price, you get:
equipped with a panoramic sunroof with front and rear glass panels, the former power retractable; a Pioneer CD player with MP3 and satellite-radio capabilities; dual front airbags and a driver's knee airbag; keyless entry; cruise control; A/C; power up and down windows; and an outside-temperature gauge. The only factory-installed options are front-seat-mounted side airbags and curtain airbags ($650) and a four-speed automatic transmission ($800).

yo, this car has got it. beef it up with the optional supercharger, and you got it made. Non-sc check out the review:
More and More I'm starting to like this car.


Speaking of the Lexus IS, the tC is nearly as quick as its 215-hp luxury cousin. The sporty Scion scoots from 0 to 60 in 7.4 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15.7 seconds at 88 mph, only 0.1 and 0.2 second, respectively, behind the IS ("$35,000 Sports Sedans," March 2004). Moreover, because the tC is geared fairly short—final drive is 4.24—its 30-to-50-mph top-gear time of 8.5 seconds is a 10th quicker than the six-cylinder IS's. Talk about "hardly shabby." Against its natural rivals, the tC is equally competitive. To 60, it is quicker than the Civic Si (8.0) and the Mini Cooper (8.3). It's even with the Mazda 3 s and just 0.4 slower than the supercharged Cooper S, which is the only one of the group to outgun the tC to the quarter-mile, nipping it by 0.2 second. And remember, the blown Mini starts at $20,449.

for the money its hotness

Nice and fast car, much faster than my xA as I got to test drive the asure pearl (baby bluish) standard model last week. I kinda scared the salesman on the test drive though

h0o0o0otttnneees for sure!!

i think i'll wait for the second model. most cars have probs the 1st year they are released, but it is very nice, sporty and sleek at the same time

^ I agree, its a very nice car but I'd wait till the 2nd or 3rd year to get one. I can definately see some 1st year problems w/ the glass roof.

My First post on VVTi.net Forums!, I've gotta Scion TC right now..I love mine 2 death!! Its soo good on handling and performance..I wouldnt have gotten anything else, I just added a Magnaflow Catback on it and it sounds Saaaweeet..hehe

If you have questions, lemme know! or go 2 my website for more pics and info!

i love all the scions. around here, cleveland area, they are hard to spot. one local audio store bought an Xb in the bright orange and made this inside of it awesome. i've seen an older lady driving a white Xa, normally i don't like what cars, but this one looked nice. one night i got the treat of seeing a silver Xa, the guy driving it was looking at me funny as i was drooling at his car from the turning lane. i have only seen one Tc, i saw it at college. it certainly looked awesome, the back end of it is kinda broad and higset though. also, why does it get such crappy milage in the city?

i have got good mileage in my tc in the city and outside of it

I am averaging 30 mpg with my XRS. That is sweet considering it is a high revving and high output engine.

I didn't like the way it handled turns. The xrs takes turns much better.
