5 speed is definately the way to go with this car.  The shifting is so fluid and the car responds really nice.  The throw is short, so many times I can shift with just a flick of my wrist.  For the price tag it came with, the tC surpassed my expectations in performance, quality, handling, and enjoyment!

Pros — Handling, Performance, Customizability
Cons — stock suspension, steering wheel doesn't tilt

I love my car. The rear reclining seats were made to do so, because they wanted to market the Scion tC as a car to "socialize" in (and no, I don't mean hint-hint). I have a cold intake, sport muffler, exhaust system and ground effects on mine. I love it!

Pros — Reclining rear seats! Love how its a hatchback car but still got a lot of room.
Cons — None...that I know of. x)

Performance –for a little sporty hatch this is pretty swift!
Build Quality – no rattles, squeaks - nothing broken...sweet
Appearance – pretty smart for a hot-hatch in its class in US
Cost of Ownership –good gas, 1st two services are free!!
Fun Factor – its not bad..and the IPOD hook up built in is super cool. Only problem is young men trying to race me :-)

Pros — Looks, Speed & IPOD hookup
Cons — No rear wiper

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...  

Pros — Even though they look small they have a lot of room and are great on gas...
Cons — Nothing

Well I have a four runner, and I missed my little car... PLUS I needed something better on gas... So we got my Scion.. It performes fabulous, ownership cost is just regular maintence.. It's an awesome car to drive, fun, the sound system is great.. Although I do have one complaint and that is people pulling out infront of me in the car...

Pros — Fun to drive, awesome performance, love the manufacturers add-ons!
Cons — People pulling out infront of me, sits KINDA low to the ground so i tend to scrape alot!

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.

Pros — smooth ride and lots of pick-up
Cons — sucks gas like u wouldnt believe and a lot of clutch problems

Love the way it handles! It is like a street legal go cart! With a little modifications you can make a scion all your own and one of a kind! Quick little car. Can be rediculously fast with a little bit of cash under the hood.

Pros — Looks, My car is a jawdropper. Everyone stares all the time. PPL actually stop me all the time about it
Cons — only a 4 banger but hey.... good on gas with these prices and still fun to drive!
