It fits my style, the size is just right for me, the hatch allows me to transport large items
Love the sleek style, love the panoramic sunroof, and the custom style wheels. I have absolutely no complaints about my Scion

It will run forever because it was built by a company known for long-lasting cars.
My car still runs well even after 12 years and I expect it will continue to run well for many years to come. It is sporty and has cool features like different colored lights on the radio console. It came with all of the safety features I needed and is a beautiful blue

It's great on gas and extremely reliable. I like that parts are easy to find.
Save on gas but small. The car is low to the ground.

It's a scion so it's a toyota so it will last you a very long time in a sense of reliability.
No I don't have any real complaints about the car besides it having a small rear seat. But other than that the engine has lasted me a very long time.

That it has never been not cared for inside and out. It has few issues.
It has to be the most trouble free, reliable auto, that I have ever owned. Still great appearance, trim, and low mileage. Have the 2nd vehicle for the 4drs and excellent riding comfort. Really do not want to sell nor trade the tc. , but do have several interested in purchasing it in the near future. The tc drives excellent and is very comfortable. Ride smoothness is not great but not bad. Has an almost timeless style that still turns heads.

2006 Scion tC: The Essential Entry Level Sports Car
The scion tC is a fantastic daily driver. With a 5 speed transmission, the car is fun to drive. The vehicle has been very reliable as most Toyotas are. I have owned the car for approximately a year and I have loved every second of owning the car. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Aubrey L

This car is great on gas. It drives smooth and is reliable
I love this vehicle. My only complaints would b that the hatch isn't easy 2 use and a piece of the back always comes off
rafiq S
on December 12, 2020
I would say my car is up to about 130 thousand miles, I would say the headline is this car and these car not only look nice but they are also reliable. I've had no trouble with my car so far.
I don't really have any complaints about my car, I like It's stylish body. If there is one thing I don't like about it ; It's the size It's a compact car with two doors. So in the future I would want a larger car with four doors and lots of room for passengers. That way I can use my car for lyft or uber and transport.

2006 Scion tC, perfect for new car owners!
I love this car. It handles well on long distances. Really love that it's got a 4 cyn and still does well on gas. Lasts a very long time and is perfect for trips locally.

13 year old car still going strong.
This car has been in three accidents, and although it now at 13 years old has some front end plastic damage being held together with duct tape, the car still runs beautifully. The small size makes it ideal for my short commute- I need to get gas about every two weeks. Great sound system. With regular maintenance I expect to still be driving this car even 3 years from now.

Scion tc review and my opinion of it
It is very low to the ground, good handling, cheap price, customizable, fast, good on gas, easy maintenance and a very quiet and reliable car. Also repair cost are low. It has a strong engine. It's not a very heavy strong feelings car It can easily be damaged

A smooth ride and a fresh, crisp look.
My scion tc is the best car I have bought so far. Beautiful and comfortable interior, awesome sun/moon roofs, decent trunk space for a coupe, amazing control when driving, great acceleration. Only issue I have is mine has wheel bearing that's need to be replaced frequently and the cause is unknown, that would be its only downfall so far.
Charley B
on August 1, 2020
An interesting detail about my car is that I had a cold air intake installed.
I enjoy my car very much. It has both a sunroof and a moonroof. The sunroof can be put down like the windows on the drivers side window and the passenger's side window. All of the wheels are black chrome and I have the windows tinted while the car color is white. I absolutely love the size and shape of the car. I chose this car specifically because of the size and shape of it. I love that this car isn't square shaped or bulky looking, rather it is rounded and small. Another thing I enjoy is the gas mileage.

That it shakes when idle at a stop light and the suspension is bad
I like that it rides like a sports car fast exhilaration. I don't like that it's a small car
Elizabeth M

It you need a back seat for people, this is not your car.
I love that my car is compact and gas efficient. It runs wonderfully, and has kept up to the Toyota reputation. I would love to get a nicer car next time, but it was perfect for now.

Scion tC: A Best Bang for Buck car with Amenities Found on Expensive Cars
The Scion tC has no mechanical problems after driving in NYC for 15 years. With regular maintenance it's been mechanically sound. The car is unable to avoid the things that damage the exterior if you have to park on the street however due to it being a Toyota Camry under the body, parts are easy to find and not expensive. In addition there are endless options to change or upgrade the way the vehicle looks and performs. There's plenty of options that are available and the car is now no longer made, plenty of people are selling their cars at this point so after market is always an option
Astra A
on June 21, 2020
It has known issues unfortunately for being such a great car otherwise.
I love the hatch and the size. I also love that it is a stick shift and it is really cute. I do not love that the engine has known problems and it burns oil. It is also very loud on the freeway due to being a cheap car.
Joe D
on June 13, 2020
This car is absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to anyone.
Great performance, great sound system, and great on gas. I love this car because it gets me to where I need to go, it is great for my music and I save a lot of money on gas. I would recommend this vehicle to any one of my friends and/or family. This is a fantastic car.
Chelsea B
on June 1, 2020
That it is a great starter car. I got it when I was 16 and it has been perfect since.
I like that my vehicle is reliable. It also gets good gas mileage. I dislike that it is small and has only 2 doors.

Black scion tc with sunroof.
The scion tc is a good car. However it is made of plastic and breaks easily. In a car accident your scion will likely be completely destroyed. The airbag didn't deploy when I wrecked mine. I feel that Toyota did not do a good job with safety inspections.
Larry Clark

Great value
Has been super reliable, replaced alternator under warranty, front break pads 110k, starter at 160k and clutch at 175k. Multiple performance upgrades for 158 who & 218 on nitreous and still get 31+ mpg @78 mph

2006 scion tc review. Comfy, handles well, minor repairs.
The car handles well in all weather conditions for a two wheel drive vehicle. I have had the car for five years and have only had to do minor repairs for it. The stereo system is simple but no complaints. It is what I expect from a 2006. Easy to mind mechanics to work on it.
Ceecee M

It is an excellent first car.
It is an excellent car. It's good on gas and mileage. It runs great for a 12 year old car. Only normal minor issues.
Navi S
on May 13, 2020
It's a car that would suit perfectly to first time drivers.
The main problem with my car its the 2 door design it's really uncomfortable to get in and out, the heights also a major factor in my dislike. I like that its spacious enough to be comfortable for a road trip. The only feature I like it's the window in the ceiling. I think they could have done a better job with this car.
Patty Y
on May 5, 2020
Get up and go in a Scion tC!
Love my car. Wish it got better mileage, did not burn through oil so fast and the ride could be a little quieter. But overall it's been a good car for me. I would have loved if at the time of manufacturing Bluetooth would have been available. Other than normal wear and tear I think it's a great value.

Sammy's baby scion tc machine.
Good pickup speed, has a pure android head unit in it, good on gas, nice tight steering, I put slotted and drilled brake rotors and ceramic brake pads on all 4 corners it stops like now the rear seats fold down and it has a back up camera and a lifting rear hatch.
Tanya B

A few issues with the hatchback.
I really like the look of the car. I live the 2nd sunroof in the backseat. There is a faulty latch for the hatchback. It is only connected with a piece of plastic. So, use 2 hands when you open the hatchback. Also, lately the hatchback has not stayed up. I have to put a yard stick in there so it doesn't fall on my head when I use it.
Beverly S

Great 5 speed with a sporty feel.
This car is really fun to drive. 5 speed and feels like a race car! I have owned it for 3 years and have had no problems with it. Our mechanic is impressed with the car's condition because of the age. If they still made this car I would definitely buy another one.
Tara F
on March 13, 2020
Reliable, dependable and stylish!
I am the 3rd owner of my vehicle. I bought it used at a certified dealership. At the time the car already had over 100k miles on it but because it is a Toyota brand I didn't think twice. I've owned Toyota’s and will continue to purchase them for life. My car has been through over 115k miles I have put on it myself and has been so reliable and has great gas mileage. I drive over 30 miles for work (60 miles round trip) and it is never let me down.
Victoria C
on February 28, 2020
While the car is fun to drive, it is expensive to maintain as the transmission goes out sooner than it should.
I like the compact size of the car as it makes it easier to drive. I also like the colors and style. What I don't like is that it has cost thousands and thousands of dollars to maintain.
Isaac G
on February 27, 2020
Be gentle when opening the trunk; parts are very flimsy and it will easily break.
The trunk is the biggest issue with the Scion tic. You have to manually open the trunk (no button or lever in the car). If you use any type of force, you can rip the lever/light panel right off. There was a recall on the trunk but somehow, my vehicle was not included. My trunk has been broken for over 10 years now. The car is pretty nice and drives well, but the trunk was very poorly made.
Kelly B

It has never let me down.
It's an older version and you can hear it starting to slowly die. It makes noises if raining or too cold out. It is very good on gas and has been reliable for the past 6 years. I enjoy the hatchback aspect and the trunk is huge. When I bought it there was an accident that already occurred and there are some cigarettes holes in the seat.
Maria L
on February 2, 2020
That it's a reliable car and runs very well even after many years
I really like the sport style and the back lights. I like that it has a sunroof and the seats are very comfortable. I dislike the way of adjusting the seat positions. My only complaint would be the trunk door because the handle with sensor broke off very early on and I had to pay to get it fixed. I've come across several cars same model with the same issue so I know it's not something I've done to cause it
Maggie M
on January 10, 2020
Very roomy yet compact and sleek.
The hatch back is extremely roomy when the seats fold down. I love how its slick and compact still. Good on gas mileage and not too many problems besides wiring when reinstalling deck, easy fix. The latch for the hatch can rip off, had to nail it down. Common problem.
Susan G

Dark grey, two door sports car.
Reliable vehicle. Great on gas. Drives smoothly. I would highly recommend it. The only problem with the vehicle is the back of the car. To open the trunk the plastic handle falls off. I've noticed this with every make of this vehicle. Other than that spacious for what it is and goes very fast as well.
colleen l
on November 9, 2019
That is was reasonable to purchase. Since then it had run great.
As a sturdy car its great. I've had it over 10 years and haven't had too many problems. It's still running great and I think it will be for a while. I would like a car with some newer technology though, and I'll also getting some rust on the side

My review of my scion tc 2006.
Sometimes it is hard to turn the key. The check engine light came on recently. However, I really like it so far. It drives real smooth. The car is a little to low to the ground for my taste, but still easy to drive. There are five people in my family, and the car fits us all well. The back seats fold down for more trunk space if needed.

The best thing about the car is how smooth it drives.
Car runs really good and is a good gas saver looks nice inside and out. I've never had any problems with it beside the tire pressure light that is on even though the llores have air overall the car is great and really smooth. I would recommend for many people who are first time buyers for cars.

My Vehicle is a dark blue 2006 Scion tc 2 door. It's very reliable on gas.
I have a 2006 scion tc 2 door. It's reliable and fast, it takes me long distances without trouble and it doesn't take much gas either. It's usually about 20 dollars for half a tank. It is pretty roomy for a 2 door and the trunk is also pretty big as well.
Haley D
on July 22, 2019
Cute and compact is one of the easier ways to describe it
My car has almost 225,000 miles on it and has NO problems whatsoever. I take it in for regular oil changes and stuff. It is such a reliable vehicle and it's VERY comfortable. Cruising down the freeway with some good music on makes for a great trip. It's such an amazing car. I love it so much. Just keep up on maintenance and stuff and there'll be no problems. This car will run forever

Pros: Sporty, good gas mileage, reliable, fun to drive. Cons: small, sports car feel, (like every bump in the road), road noise
Lisa B

It is not for people with back pain. (bucket seats).
I like the pickup speed and the fact that it is reliable. I dislike the blind spot caused by the body design, the wide swing of opening the doors, and the lack of access to the back seat. I also dislike the small tires – they do not handle potholes well.
Ashley B

The scion tc is a great buy for its reliability but road noise can be heard.
The scion tc is reliable, sporty looking, fun to drive vehicle with good gas mileage. Some disadvantages are the road noises I can hear while driving. I had a problem with the hatchback, a piece needed to be replaced and the fog light bulbs are not easy to find replacements.
Bao Y

This vehicle is great on gas!
The 2006 Scion tc has its pros and cons. I love the gas mileage. Another thing I love about this vehicle is the body. The car has almost a timeless trim. 13 years later and it doesn't have an outdated look amongst newer vehicles. The vehicle is reliable. My car has over 200,000 and still going strong. It is my daily driving vehicle. I not only drive locally but have made over 20 1,500 mile trips over the years. What I found a nuisance about the vehicle is that for some reason, as the vehicle gets older, the oil level doesn't keep. For some reason the oil will diminish somehow. There's no oil leak but the oil level will decrease over time before the next oil change is due. Another problem I ran into was the trunk handle. It was cheaply made with plastic but I later replaced it with a metal one later on. These are the reasons I give the 2006 Scion tc a 4 out of 5.

Sporty but not a family car
I love the car bit to small for my needs but efficient. Gets great gas mileage. Sporty and handles well. Great for students or single people..not a family car. I love the ease of handling the car. It's low maintenance and handles well on short or long trips
Tim C

18 inch wheels 15 inch speakers 5% tint so you cannot see up in my windows.
My car is great only problem I have had is with front wheel bearings going bad. Other than that great gas mileage, fun fast little car to drive around. I'd recommend anyone without kids or that are between the ages 16-30 years of age to buy one to drive they will love it!

The trunk is very poorly made. Must open with minimum force
The Scion tC is a nice vehicle but the trunk is very poorly made. You have to manually open the trunk, there is not lever or button inside the vehicle. There was a recall on the trunk but my vehicle was not included for some reason. My trunk has been broken for over 10 years. Must open VERY gently when using.

I do not have any complaints with the manufacturer the owner before this one did modifications to the car that had made it difficult for me to drive or it is very costly to repair.

Great car and pretty good on gas
I really like my car. Never had any problems with it. Drives smooth and gets me from point a to point b. Also it's pretty decent on gas not too much of a guzzler. The stock speakers sound amazing too. Especially impressed since my car is 13 years old.

Nice and compact. A lot of storage space. Having only 2 doors can be obnoxious.
Jacob S

This car can easily fit 5 people in it and it wouldn't be cramped at all.
Even though the car itself is small on the outside, it is quite roomy. I am 5'10" and I have no problem with space in this coupe. The trunk is big enough for all my things. This clearly is not a family car or anything like that, but for a casual car to get around in, I'd say it is perfect.
Alyssa D

The most important thing others should know is that it's one of the most reliable and fun cars to drive
