"I really, really like my 2006 tC. Can't beat the looks, reliability and features. The car is just plain cool, good-looking, nice features, has held up amazingly well over 7 years, and the liftback is fantastic for transporting large cargo loads. I fit a 5x7' table in it one time. Over the life of the car, maintenance has been well under average for an under-$20K car when it was new. Gas mileage is so-so but acceptable, probably because the driving experience is excellent for a small 4-cylinder car. Getting off a stop is quick and it's really zippy and fun to drive. The look of it is still up to date too, so check one out if you want a nice used car that's reliable and versatile."

"I loved my scion tC. I actually totaled my first one and had to have another one. I never had a problem with either of them. They were excellent on gas, but still had pep to them. I drove them while I was in college. (an hour and a half to and from every weekend) They have a lot of features that don't come on most base cars which is really nice. They handle very well, they are technically a subcompact car but they drive more on the sporty side. To me the scion was the best of both worlds efficient on gas, reliable, good price but sporty, stylish, and had nice features. (reclining backside, flip down back seat, moonroof, sunroof, pop up windguard on sunroof, signals on mirrors, the list goes on) Because it's a hatchback and has the flip down backseats, the back can turn into alittle truck like bed. I moved myself to and from college multiple years. I still miss my scion."

"Scion tc 2006. I bought this car back when I was 17 years old. It is a really nice car overall. But after a year of driving it, I thought back and was like, should gone with a used volvo t5. I test drove a 2005 volvo t5, and I fell in love with it. Problem was that it was 1K more than the scion. Overall I like the scion but the volvo t5 is better."

"For a four cylinder the power is great and the handling is unbelievable. It's lights, fast and still good on fuel. I have the stick shift and it gives an even better kick to it and a very easy clutch to drive. The basic options include power everything and the high profile alloy wheels and double moon roof standard are a nice touch. I bought mine new in 2006 and have never had any mechanical problems with it."

"The vehical advertised above actually was my car. I traded it in last week but I have to say I will miss this car. Great car, no maintenance issues, and it actually have tons of space in the back seat for passangers and hauling if you fold the seats down. It's a fun little car and I have no complaints about driving it. It's not as convenient for hauling as an SUV is but that is not its purpose. Will make someone very happy for a long time!"

"I test drove this vehicle today and i have to say i give more respect to the TC's. They are alot quicker than i thought and has alot of pull to it. The dislikes that i have for this vehicle is the space overall. It feels like your in a small 2 seat car when driving this vehicle and trying to back this car up is difficult due to limited sight in the back side windows. Overall i enjoyed test driving this vehicle and i would purchase it because i am a young adult, but for anyone who is looking to start a family or needs space in the trunk i sugest something else."

"This week I totalled the car by hitting a guard rail and I wasn't hurt at all, this is truly a safe car. My complaints are that I don't like the black interior, it gets too dirty and the dials are hard to read during the daytime."

"This was my first new car and the best I've ever had! I love everything about it and especially the ipod connection that have helped me through so many hours stuck in traffic and on numerous roadtrips. The two sunroofs sold me on the car and everything else just sweetened the deal. Great car for a young person!"

"Everything about this car has been great to me. I've owned it for two years and put over 50,000 miles on it. It's great in all terrain. Only downside is the bad rear visibility when backing up."
