2006 Scion tC Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Awesome vehicle, fun to drive, great handling, feels safe. I love the appearance of the car both inside and out. I felt like it came with many features although it was a base model. Would definitely recommend this car to someone looking for an inexpensive sports car, who doesn't have any kids.

The car is awesome! Very good value for the money. It has all the features from a 10K car more expensive. The motor is very reliable because it's from a Toyota Camry which is one of the longest lasting cars on the road.

I love all that you get. Power windows, door locks, and steering. Keyless entry, one touch power windows for drive and passenger side, abs, tilt wheel, cd/mp3 player. Disc brakes all the way around. A nice 2.4l motor with a 160hp pretty good performance coupled with decent gas mileage. All around you get a lot with out having to totally break the back, I would recommend a Scion Tc to anyone. I am very happy with my car! You have a toyota basically so you know the build is solid and it's going to last a long time while keeping a high resale value. Car is beautiful, sleek and prime for customization. All in all very high quality.

Great little car for the price. $17,000 for all this? Auto up/down windows, power locks, immobilizer, keyless entry, two sunroofs(one opens like moonroof), 17" inch alloys, 160 horse 2.4 liter, 23/29 mpg. Good handling. Decent acceleration. Good amount of torque. Smooth ride. Surprisingly quiet inside. Comfy seats. Very roomy backseat but not much rear headroom.

Do the math. No other car gives you this many features for such a low price. Gorgeous wheels, a moonroof, a kickin' sound system, a quality interior that looks a lot more expensive than it is, and all around solid styling and materials. On top of that, the performance and handling of this car are strong, and it's so fun to drive. You must get the standard!

Great car!! For a car thats akmost 16 years old, its held up really well. Not high quality materials, but its not falling apart and it drives great.

Car is good all around but don't let it sit around. You have to drive it. Alot of room for a car this size and the back seats recline and are comfortable. It is easy to drive and see. It's style holds its own.

Handles wonderfully, easy to modify, looks nice, comfortable ride. No issues with car, just regular upkeep. Good on gas mileage. Does take full synthetic oil and high grade fuel however. Car is extremely fun to drive! Enought room inside for self, passanger, and kiddo in the back. Also, duel 12's in the hatch/trunk space.

Great reliability - Toyota under the hood :) Decent performance. Build quality is OK - hatch rattles in the winter months. Moonroof has a lot of wind noise in the winter. Less in the summer. Cost of ownership = low - it's a Toyota remember. Fun to drive = YES! (I have manual tC).

Awesome car for the price...Fun to Mod as well!

The car has great performance for a FWD 4cyl. The handling is on par with a civic's. The standard options for the car however, comes with everything you could want.

Love my Tc! I call it my Tide Car (Roll Tide!!). It's large than the average coupe. No one has ever complained about not having enough room in the back seats, even with three people sitting back there! It looks great, and not mention performs like no other in its class. The 2.4 litre in-line 4 is a good perfect size engine or a turbo, though stock it is still pretty quick. The car is basically a blank canvas for any car junkie. The possibilities are endless with what you can do to this car! And just to add to the great things about it, the gas mileage is great! 22 in the city (depending on how you drive) and about 28-30 on the highway. It's just an overall great car that is just loads of fun to drive!

I put a cold air intake into it and I hope to soon add a cat back system (injen or magnaflow), then subs at some point, and obviously a radar detector...:) Definitely a fun car to drive. Quick acceleration. Good handling. Stock sound system is ok but not great. Bass is somewhat disappointing.

The handling is great and its pretty quick without touching it. Also its real easy to add upgrades

reliable and economical car. Never breaks down or left me stranded. Great on gas and fun to drive. Look great too. Low cost maintenance. Most parts are cheep if need to be replace. Love this car and would highly recommend to other.

I loved my car. It was a great car, I just need something with a little more room! Great teenage car. Easy Handling. Love the style of this car. Great for commuting, not good for long trips. Too small for long trips.

I love this Car I found out that there are not may Turbocharged Scions in the Northeast, there are more supercharged ones made by the Toyota TRD, so I call mine a one of a kind. It gets little pricey with gas cause I use premium grade. I love to challenge other cars that are rated higher than a Scion tC stock usually there in for a surprise. I like the my cars sleek black look, it's really awesome when the 'grandpas' that are into the muscle car era ask me questions about it cause it looks nice.

* Performance: Most fun car to drive I've ever owned. The 2.4L I-4 gets respectable gas mileage (25/30) and has a ton of hp/torque for its size, stock (160hp/165tq) which makes is a blast to rock around. (Plus, the mods I've done help out even more with the tq/hp and throttle response) * Build Quality: Best quality I've ever had in a compact car - far superior to even my dearly loved 2000 Honda Civic EX, and I'm pretty sure a lot of that has to do with the fact that it's built 100% in Japan. (The Civic was built in the US) * Appearance: I really like it. Looks great to me! * Cost of ownership: Haven't spent any money on maintenance besides oil, which could be due to the fact that it's got less than 30k miles on it. =) * Fun factor: Most fun car I've ever owned, by far. =D

My son (age 22 at the time) bought a Scion after getting his first job. He brought it over the house when he first got it. I took it for a spin and liked how it handled. It was a quick little package, although, it's not quite my cup of tea. It's a little too compact for my taste, but I did like the power and economy it offered. The styling (both inside and out) is very appealing. He's enjoyed it's reliability since date of purchase.

I have had my car for almost two years with no mechanical problems at all. It has an extended sunroof for plenty of light. Pretty fun to drive.

could be quicker but can add a turbo for manual or auto trans. fun car to drive. toyota parts means it'll last forever.

My view of this car maybe a little bias as I went from an old straight 6 cylinder Mercedes Benz to this 4 cylinder Scion. Being low geared, it's set up for acceleration and thats pretty much all it has. It's either leaving you dead at the stop light (manual newbie) or screaming because of the high RPM. The stereo system is quite decent considering it's factory, just needs a little bass upgrade. Seats are comfortable if your under 6' tall. Back seats recline and fold down for added trunk storage. This car is also very easy to upgrade, kind of like a Honda Civic but without the insurance benefits.

it was great all around. except in the winter, the tires weren't the best because they're low profile tires. you can buy one fairly cheap, used. it was an amazing car to drive ! the trunk handle is a little weak, though.

My car is built to do autocross with hotckis sway bars, TRD lowering spring, DC strut bar and an ingall 4 point strut bar in the rear, but I've also added a sound system and some other custom touches to fit me more personally.

I love that i turbocharged it.it's honestly 100X faster then it was when it was stock. it's a great car but honestly lacks power at this alltitude. The car rattles a lot in cold weather. but that is to be expected of a car with an all glass roof. Only the front section of the roof opens.

Basic, with not many frills. Not overly powerful, but smooth and quiet. Toyota quality and smooth looks

it's a pretty good car plus it's a toyota

this suped up scion tc is one of the hottest cars in the area! i love it. only bad thing is it is front wheel drive
