Prosit's cute and adorable Consif you are a guy
55
Perfect For Girls — drives fine, shifts well, interior is sustainable, compact, pretty easy to modify with a lot of parts out there (if you so choose), okay so it's kind of small but it's compart and fits in good parking spaces. it was worth 24000 to drive away but COMPLETELY worth it. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Overall, A Very Good Car. — I'll start with the positives of the tC. It looks fantastic and I get a lot of compliments for it. With the backseats folded down there is a surprisingly large amount of storage room in the back. The speaker system is also exceptional, the only complaint I have is that the bass can sometimes be annoyingly loud, especially to passengers in the back seat. On to the semi-cons. Performance is alright, nothing spectacular, but much better than your average car. It is fun to drive and accelerates and corners well, but not like a true sports car. The build quality is very good, I have no complaints about the materials and I have not had any problems with it's reliability. Gas mileage is average: I get around 23 mpg, mostly city driving. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Prossmooth ride and lots of pick-up Conssucks gas like u wouldnt believe and a lot of clutch problems
55
Scion Tc — I think something is already wrong with the clutch. Not even 4k on it, it sticks but great drive overall and lots of pick-up. lots of interior room and cool storage. the gas isn't that good either, about 16 city maybe 20 highway. but for the price of the car you get a lot. rims, power everything, sunroof, keyless on key. the car handles great its fun to drive but with gas prices it is kind of hard. | ||

Fun Little Car — Cost of Ownership: gas mileage is decent, maintenance is affordable. Performance: Handles the way a car should around curves and turns, braking is good, accelerates better/faster than sister toyotas. Appearance: Sporty, easy to modify. Build Quality: In 2 years of ownership I've only changed the oil when needed and I'm just now getting new tires and brakes. Fun Factor: It is fun to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Scions Are Great... — This is my first compact car but even though it's compact it has a lot of room inside and it looks great... I love my new little car... Scion all the way!.... Performance_ I have no complaints I can drive fast or slow and turning is great... Built Qualities_ the parts are inter-changeable and I am about with God's help I will up-grade my car with different parts, like a spoiler, tinted windows and hoping to put a turbo in it...LOL Appearance- the car looks great even right out of the lot. Cost of Ownership_ It's got great gas mileage. Fun Factors- It's an awesome and very different experience to drive a Scion.... Would I recommend this car to friends and family? Hell Yes!... My younger brother owes one of the first XB"s straight out of California and our family is slowing joining his fun and enthusiasm about being a proud owner of a Scion... |
