"I am a freshman in college and got my 2013 Scion TC RS 8.0 #746 out of 2000. I love my car! The red and black stands out and I get plety of head turns. Scion and Five Axis did an AMAZING JOB in creating this release series. Anytime someone passes me on purpose I can downshift thanks to the Paddle Shifter in the automatic and catch up easily. It does pick up speed and its really easy to get it over 100mph. And I also love the panoramic soon roof! Just love my car. Thank you Scion and Five Axis!!!! Much Love!"

"I've owned my tC for about a month. Its fun to drive and like other reviews say it has plenty of sunlight from all the windows on the roof. I also love the 5 star safety features since I bought this car after totaling my old Toyota Matrix. This car definitely gains speed much faster than other cars in the class and offers better features for the same price as competitors. My biggest complaints are that there is no rear-windshield wiper and there is no trunk light so it can be hard to find things at night. On the other hand, I love that this car is actually a hatchback but looks like it has a sedan-type trunk-and the trunk is nicely sized. Even without folding down the backseats I can load just as much stuff as my parent's Hyundai crossover. I also average 28-29mgp (I drive a manual) which is higher than I expected. Overall very happy with this car!"

"Puchased the tC a few weeks ago to manily get better gas milage. Traded in a 2011 Nissan Murano getting at best 20 mpg. Fist week getting around 31.8 in combined city and highway. tC seems to be staying near those averages so far as time passes on. Highway speeds are varied anywhere from 65 to 75 mph. So not really bad. Car is exterior is definetly a hit. The inside lets just say is OK. Not bad but not a Caddy or a Murano but your not paying for the price point either. Radio needs to be upgraded and seats could sure use a adjustable headrest forward and backwards. The tC kinda reminds me of the toyota supra from years past but with less options and no 6 cyl. However Toyota's TRD divison suports modifications to the car as well as the dealer. So there is hope if you wish to customize to your personality."

"not a sports car. but a sporty car. very practical. useable backseat. great standard features including pioneer speaker, bluetooth, 18inch rims, all glass panoramic roof. plus toyota's legendary reliability and the tc is a top safety pick with 8 standard airbags. hatchback design has a large trunk and plenty of space with the rear seats folded down. perfect car for a college student that wants a sporty, reliable, safe, and practical car."
