Great on gas. Great car for a single person very economical reliable , durable , sturdy . Soundsystem sounds wonderful, the hatchback is very spacious you can fit bikes and even a mattress. Very good car I'll definitely recommend it to my children if I ever have any
January 24, 2025Its a fun manual, It looks kinda like a sports car, has the most amazing trunk space when seats are folded (i have slept in it before and im 5'7 for reference, I have also seen a whole dirtbikes fit no problem), lastly it is insanely cheep for what it is. Out the door including dealer fee, recondition fee, tag fee, registration, new plate, and insurance i paid $4,800
September 16, 2025The Scion tC has great acceleration, the braking distance is short with all wheel discs, and it handles wonderfully at high speeds. The hatch rattles a bit, but nothing extreme. The exterior and interior of this car is second to none. It gets around 30 miles per gallon when you can keep your foot out of it, but where is the fun in that?! It has very low maintenance costs. I have 17k miles on mine and all I have done to her is gas and oil changes. The car is very fun to drive if you get the manual option.

June 10, 2008Performance - 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.
May 5, 2010This car is a ton of fun to drive, and it has a beautiful interior and exterior. The car has a street racer feel to it and is OK on gas. It has had no problems yet, but is still somewhat a new car. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, sporty car.
November 3, 2008Fit exactly what I needed. Sport fun with great fuel economy. Interior comfort combined with extraordinary looks equal one fine driving machine. You will have fun driving a Scion tC and you will look good doing so. Dependability and reliability at its best.
March 25, 2015Performance - 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.
October 6, 2009acceleration is good for what it is. build quality was great. loved the sunroof and reclinable back seat. with the seats folded down and the hatch you can fit tons of stuff in it. cost is low and gas mileage was great. fun daily driver.
July 12, 2009The Scion tC is a fun car that's sure to get attention anywhere you go. It is a great car, reliable with good looks and excellent performance for the price.
