Used 2007 Scion tC Base Auto for Sale near Ruston, LA

Performance - Very torquey 4 cylinder with plenty of get up and go. Tops out at 127-128mph. Plenty of room to improve the engine (supports 300HP with no internal work). I have cornered this car very aggressively and it has yet to give out. Suspension is comfortable and sporty. 4-wheel disk brakes are very good and stop on a dime. Build Quality - 60K miles and nothing has needed replaced. Inside materials are lexus quality and nothing has come undone as of yet. The extra sound damping material helps and makes the car's 160W pioneer stereo sound great. Appearance - Have gotten nothing but praise for the look of the car and is very fun to drive out in public. Cost of Ownership - I get high 20's, low 30's routinely driving to school each day. 14.5 gallon tank lasts me a week, which is great considering how much I drive and how small the tank is. As said before I have not done any maintenance on the car. Fun Factor - It's a blast to drive and wants to be pushed harder. Very fun to turn corners at high speeds and still have good control over the car. Overall a very fun car with all the options you could as for stock and then some. Has great modding potential, as that was the main focus of the Scion line, and it shows.

Performance - Above average for cars in its class; could be faster with the addition of aftermarket upgrades. Overall performance is not bad at all considering price, engine size, and fuel economy. Build Quality - Some rattling, especially when traveling over rough surfaces, but this is easily compensated for by turning up the excellent sound system. 2 years old, over 30k miles, and no mechanical problems yet. Appearance - Love the exterior styling; recommend adding a spoiler to complete the look. Interior styling is decent overall; nothing spectacular, but no complaints. Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage is fairly decent, close to 30 MPG with mostly highway driving. City driving takes a toll, especially if you're heavy on the accelerator pedal like I am, but still in the low- to mid-20 MPG range. Maintenance costs are predictably high when serviced at a dealership, but so far it hasn't needed anything aside from regularly scheduled maintenance. Go easy on the tires, they're not cheap to replace. Fun Factor - Definitely fun to drive, especially with dealership-installed TRD suspension upgrades. Peppy and tight on turns (with the upgrades), the upscale tires have pretty nice grip in most weather, not so much in snow and ice. Not fun to drive in the winter in snowy regions, unless you enjoy fear and white-knuckled driving. Not impossible either, the car is capable of winter driving, but snow tires couldn't hurt.

Great handling & pick-up. Great looks and perfect price for a first time buyer. Extremely reliable car (it's a Toyota .. what else can you expect!) Fuel economy in the mid to upper 20s depending on how you drive. I'd give it 4 stars overall.

I bought this car for two reasons: my old one died and I married into a Toyota family. I used to have a 1999 Plymouth Breeze and the transmission died, so I had to get a new car. My father-in-law works for Toyota so I'm kind of sold on the product. I get discounts for life. Anyway, if you like speed and handling get the Scion Tc. It's got pep, handles well, and can corner at high speed. I believe in driving a vehicle to its limits so that you know what it's capable of. The interior is a little tight, but I'm 6'4". You sacrifice a little space for performance and visual appeal. On average I get 25 mpg, which is better than my old car. My old car got almost 20 mpg and it's the same size engine (2.4L). The car has 4 disc brakes so that you can brake in a hurry. The Tc is very responsive in tight situations and VERY fun to drive. There is one drawback to the space if you have kids. Getting a car seat out of the back is a little difficult. My car seat is on the rear passenger seat, but I have to go in the driver's side to get my kid out. The angle is too weird to get my kid out from the passenger side. I'm going to tough it out until the Tacoma becomes a hybrid in 2010 (according to my father-in-law). If kids aren't an issue, DEFINITELY buy this car. It's fast, looks great (especially with fog lights), and very fun to drive. The standard rims are a plus too.

Very good performance. Not a race car, but good enough for me. Handles well, good throttle response,. Build quality is what you would expect from a toyota, holds up well. Styling is nice and comfortable. Gas mileage is great. Car is overall, a great car to drive.
