Great car, wouldn't have any other one for my daily driver! I bought this little dime in March of 2012 with a wowing 22,000 miles on it, can you say fantastic for a 2005? I can, what a deal. In this last year I have racked up about 13,000 miles without a single repair. Maintenance is a must, but this car makes it super easy to keep the car in pristine condition while maintaining a modest budget. I am married, with no children which makes the tC & I the perfect combination.

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!

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.

Takes 10psi of boost on stock internals like a champ! Built great, lacks some nicer features like power/heated seats, ride is a little noisey. Fun to drive, but cant beat AWD. Front wheel drive isnt the best for performance but for what it is, it does the job great.
