2009 Scion tC Reviews, Pricing & Specs



















































































































































































What owners say
"Owners of the 2009 Scion tC appreciate its comfortable ride, sporty appearance, and solid handling. Many drivers praise its acceleration and fun driving experience, especially with a manual transmission. However, some do express dissatisfaction with gas mileage and the need for more power at higher speeds."
An awesome way to spend a long road trip. Almost 0 road noise. Elecronically sound all around. The 5 speed and lower gear ratio make it have a lot of get up and go. I feel safe in it knowing it has air bags all the way around. When on windy roads, it hugs the turns with nearly no body roll. Very tight suspension, and a ton of cargo space, and plenty of leg room in the back seat. When you need to stop fast, the braking is not grabby. Only costs to maintain were tires and oil changes (which were all free for 3 years due to the warranty and maintenance plan we purchased). All around I love this car and I have driven TC's since 2005 when they first came out. Trust me you will love this car too.
August 8, 2012The 2009 Scion Tc with the complete sports package is awesome! Mag 8 spoke rims, optimal stereo system, dual moon roof...etc. I could go on and on! Handles great with little to no lean to it, and acceleration is outstanding!
September 8, 2009COMFORTABLE, SMOOTH, SLEAK, ROOMY AND CUTE!!!!!The acceleration on the car is awesome, the nice Jap. car is strong, the interior and anterior is perfect! and the gas mileage saves me money, and i love driving it in the rain!!Yes!I would recommend this car to a friend definitely!

November 10, 2008Performance - nice short throw, acceleration is decent but not impressive, steering is fairly tight Build Quality - great, no rattles or squeaks Appearance - great! awesome panorama sunroof Cost of Ownership - relatively good fun factor - a little more power could help i would definitely suggest getting the manual! it makes the drive much more fun.
October 7, 2008Although the car is an older model, my daughter lover everything about the car especially the moon roof. Scion are excellent cars so overall I do feel the car is of good value.
August 24, 2022Great appearance, good gas mileage,minimal maintenance/ low maintenance costs. The panoramic sunroof and reclining back seats are awesome,. Pioneer sound system sounds great. Easy to park and super fun to drive! Looks nice and sporty without the high costs!
November 25, 2012I love my scion! it is a great commuter car, with air conditioning, a very good clean sounding, ipod friendly stereo, and a open, comfortable cabin. It has few rattles or bumps at 10,000 miles, and I don't expect many in the near future. Cost of ownership has been gas, oil changes and the car payment. Not bad at all!
August 18, 2009Could use some more top end power, and I wish it didn't run at four thousand rpm's at 80 miles per hour. Fun to drive with simple but classy styling. Love the availability of Toyota Racing Development parts. Toyota reliability.
February 10, 2014The factory handling on this car is great right out of the factory. The only thing that sucks is the gas mileage =) But that could just be my heavy foot. I totaled my first one so I can vouch... its pretty safe.
May 11, 2010its ok for commuting and lite so its fun to drive. but mines not stick so i do not like my car that much. if it was a stick shift then i prolly like it more than rite now lol
