Futuristic but yet useable.
The base model comes with Bluetooth. I really enjoy this car it is the first car I have bought. Gas mileage is good and it is still somewhat sporty. Also, easy to modify if that is something you are interested in. Being a hatchback, there is a lot of room in the trunk. I would not recommend this car to a family if you have young kids because being a coupe it is hard to get people in the back. However, the back seats are very spacious. I love that there is a moon and sun roof. So, basically the whole roof of the car is glass.

My vehicle is overall a good car and performs great, its reliable.
My vehicle is very good on gas. Has some trouble with the lights and the ac but I think it is just because it is old. Overall great performance and is a reliable car as well as it is good to drive long distances. Paint has chipped over time. Tires are great.

Very reliable car with nice features, but could be better.
I wish that the media devices port could be switched out to be able to control different types of devices. (I.E. Android, newer iPhones, etc) I do think that the aux cable was a nice feature, but I wish it was in a location where the cable will not get easily damaged. Otherwise the car has been very reliable, my car is almost at 200 thousand miles and have not really had to do any major repairs. The back middle seat is somewhat uncomfortable though, it is very narrow and elevated above the two seats to its side.

2012 auto scion tc grey coupe.
I love working on my car and adding performance and exterior mods. It is very easy to work on. I only spend about 20$ on gas every two weeks, driving in sport mode. If you drive it just strictly automatic it saves money as eco takes over. This is considering me driving to only home and work and occasional other places. My car is reliable as I do not drive it a lot. It is comfortable to ride in and is smooth while driving, even with my exhaust.

Scion TC 2012 has its ups and downs
It's cheaply made things fall apart easily and doesn't ride as smoothly as it did when I bought it. Parts are extremely hard to come by inexpensively. But it is real fun car to drive. It's small so gets in and out of places easily. It seems pretty reliable so far

What I like about my scion tc 2012.
2 door sports car. Sleek and modern designed. Great horsepower at the same time very economical. Easy to maintain and easily parks in urban neighborhoods. Only issue I have had is in general, two door vehicles are a bit of an annoyance when fitting more than two people.

The 2013 scion tc is a very reliable car especially if it is your first car ever.
I really love my 2012 scion tc. It is a very reliable car and really fun to drive. I have not had any problems mechanically with the car but it does lack the horsepower. I would love it be a little for faster to enjoy it as a fun weekend car but other than that it's a very safe car to drive around daily.

Review on scion tc car runs super smooth.
It is really good and efficient on gas. Only have to put gas about once every two weeks. It has not given me any problems and runs very smoothly. Paint is not the best, it is already chipping but it is my only thing I dislike about the car. It is a two door so it is comfortable for anyone who likes that type of car. The trunk is also pretty big and spacious.

Scion tc’s are great cars!
It is very comfortable in both the front and back, although there’s not much leg space in the back. The back seats can be put down and if you are under 6’0 it can be pretty comfortable to lay in. It has great air condition that is very powerful and cools off the car quickly. I have never had a major problem with it.
accountCircle Cali B on December 22, 2020
Scion tc: the perfect first car.
Seats are comfortable for moderate drives, steering wheel is fluid and smooth, shifting is smooth and not jerky. Abs system has saved me many times. Car is reliable and has had no issues with over 100,000 miles. The double moon roof provides great views for front seat passengers and backseat passengers. Lots of room for cargo in the hatchback.

Cute compact car with roomy back seat for a 2dr hatchback
This was the car I wanted for a long time. Finally purchased it in 2012 it was still fairly new but bought 'used' as it had 2500 miles on it. It's a great car. I don't have any children so the two door issue is not that big of a deal to me. However the older I've gotten (31 yrs old) I do realize it isn't the best for people to climb in and out of the backseat. But with that being said the backseat is pretty big. Especially to be a two door hatchback type car. The bag seat is far bigger than any two door I have been in. That part is all about preference. It hasn't made me want to trade vehicles through. As far as problems with the car I haven't had any real problems since I bought it late in 2012. If you keep the maintenance up on it the car will do it's part. Now there is one thing I will mention and it seems to have been an issue on a lot of the models. The rubber flap that goes alongside the front window, at the top, sometimes when you would catch a certain speed it would lift up and sound like someone was beating your car to death. However, quick fix. So again no major issues. Overall I love the car. I wouldn't go back and buy a 4 door or a different type car. It's a good little compact car.

Scion TC is a great first car
It is definitely a younger person's vehicle. I have had my parents go in and out of my car and they struggle. Performance and interior is great. The only negative opinion is the electronic side of it. People that I know that have tc's their door locks malfunction and there's a noise that comes out of the dashboard that sounds like a broken fan.
accountCircle Erika H on November 27, 2020
Great car and very easy to use.
Very reliable, it is not a gas guzzler and it is always very easy to clean, very easy to get in, only thing I do not like is that the chairs do not stay in place when allowing people to go to the backseat. Overall a very good and sturdy car. No complaints about it.

It is amazing and also reliable.
I have never had a problem with it and it has over a hundred thousand miles. The car is very reliable. It is great if gas mileage also. Very comfortable to drive. Toyota is all around the greatest car company around. They never fail to amaze me. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel and I still don't hate it.

The Toyota scion the greatest invention yet they should renovate the future
The engine lost compression. It can fall into a money pit, they last a long period of time they Made fairly cheap. Scion derives from Toyota made in japan. The engine has a timing chain. Not a belt so it never needs to be replaced by a certified mechanic

Reviewing my 2012 scion tc.
My car is really fun to drive and it can go pretty fast, but with mine the ignition switch likes to go out sometimes so I've had to replace it a couple of times. There are not really any problems with the car itself, it is a really good, reliable car, and you feel cool driving it.

Quick recommendation for 2012 scion tc.
I am the third owner of the vehicle and have had it for about three years abs driven about 40,000 miles. I have loved the car overall and its has been very reliable. It is good on gas, storage is great with the hatchback, and the back seating area is fairly roomy for a coupe. I would definitely recommend the scion tc for anyone who is considering it.
accountCircle Logan S on October 12, 2020
Scion tc, decent first car.
Good first car. Never any problems with it. Not a car I’d recommend if you have a dog, or a family. Gas mileage is pretty good never any problem while driving. Dirt can get everywhere in this car though. The gas tank cover gets absolutely filthy and can be very difficult to clean. Around the edges of the hatchback liner, where the trunks meets the car, can get filthy as well. Overall I would give this car a 3/5. It is a good first car for a younger audience, but I have definitely outgrown this car.

This vehicle is a two door but surprisingly very roomy.
Very reliable car. Roomy. Absolutely love my car. I bought this vehicle new last year but it runs like new and has not given me any major issues so long as I keep up with its maintenance. I have this vehicle in black which is my dream first car. I have a son and his car seat fits perfectly. Also has a lot of room in the trunk. I was worried that this car would be too small but it is just right.

If you're looking for a car that saves gas and looks fast, go with a scion Tc.
The car itself is a beauty. The interior gives you that comfort we all like as if you are when you get home after a long day, but also looks like a sports car. The mileage is amazing. With a full tank i can drive from my home town to Vegas and back with my tank almost empty. That's about a 4-5 hoot drive there and back. The one thing i love the most is how smooth it drives, i would get another scion for sure.

An amazing vehicle wouldn't want another car.
I haven't had a problem with my car as long as I stay up to date with oil changes and things that it needs. I love that the car has AUX cord ability and the sound system in the car is amazing. The car gets up to speed very quickly. It is very comfortable to drive long distances it is overall an amazing vehicle.

The vehicle is average space, many blind spots, and carpet cleaning.
The vehicle is not very comfortable at all. For example the doors actually very heavy. When I first bought the vehicle I did not really feel it. Later they started to feel very heavy. There is also more blind spots than what I expected there to be. The Spacing in the vehicle is an okay average. The Carpet in the vehicle you will have to clean very often and seats are very easy to get damaged if you spill anything you get stains very easily even if you drop water on them. I would get thicker tires than the ones they come with. You also have to keep up with everything in your vehicle running good and do not fall behind on any oil changes. Other than that I think I like the vehicle just would probably get more of a gas saver and not much of a sports.

Reliability, would recommend to all friends. Love cars owned/made by Toyota.
My car has been really reliable for the 8 years I have had it. I recently had to get the transmission repaired and breaks. But overall it is been extremely reliable and has not caused any severe problems. All problems that come up are normal wearing of the car. Highly recommend it to someone.

Scion tC review and thoughts
It's a really nice car. Very reliable and has good gas mileage. I have had it for 3 years now and don't have any complaints. While there has been times where I had to take it in the shop, they were all maintenance and cosmetic. Keep in mind, this is a compact car so it is pretty easy to scrape up on the curb if you aren't careful.

My scion TC has been one of the best cars I've owned and driven
I bought my car second-hand with only 37,000 miles on it and I've had it almost a year now and I absolutely love it. The only issue I've really had with it is the fact that I want to switch to a sedan because I have quite a few kids in my family and getting a car seat in and out of a coupe is not an easy task at times. Besides my preference to sedans, I have no regrets buying my car. It has a lot of room for a coupe and I've had no major issues with it, only maintenance work has needed done.

Scion tc - sporty and cool, but has some comfort issues.
It is really low to the ground - cannot see the stop light, have to pull myself up to get out, seat belt rubs on my chest. Only 2-door. The doors open way too far - into the next parking spot. I like the sun roof, the gas mileage, the sporty look, big trunk.

Scion tC saved my life when I was in a head on collision!

Sporty car for the younger demographic.
The vehicle has been very reliable, and is a fun sporty car that is great for a younger demographic. Although I have really enjoyed the car, there are some rattles within the interior plastic that can be quite frustrating. With that said, it has great features such as alloy wheels, a sunroof, and pretty decent horsepower to make for a sporty ride.

2012 Smokey gray Scion tic.
I believe the Scion brand is pretty popular for the younger age drivers. Based on the lower prices, the appeal and the excellent safety ratings. I love my Scion tic because it has a lot of space for it to be a 2 door car(coupe) and also its gas efficient.

Scion tc, hatchback with sunroof.
It's a very nice driving car, does great in the snow, speaker system is great, I love my sunroof! The hatch back really comes in handy when needed love that the back seats fold down! Definitely a speedy little thing, when you are in a hurry she really moves, the response time in the gas pedal is very quick as well.

The 2012 scion tc is a great car for new drivers. The performance from factory is really good and it is very sporty for a 2. 5l 4 cylinder. The hatchback is also a very helpful feature of the car and the gas mileage is also decent.

Love my spacious 2012 tC!
Very spacious for a two door car, has a lot of cargo space in the trunk, much more room if you need to fit something really big (just lay the back seats down). Runs very smoothly, seats are comfortable and front seats move all the way to the front for ease of entrance to the back. Has an awesome panoramic sunroof!

The scion tc is a great car for commuting to work or just to go on a fun cruise.
Fun to drive, amazing amount of room and great mpg. The performance is great. The regular mode gets great gas mileage, while also maintaining a great mpg. While the sport mode will leave you with a huge grin on your face. The rear seats are very comfortable offering space for passengers. Those seats will also fold down to create a huge trunk area where you can load up all kinds of stuff.

A reliable vehicle for anyone at any age to use. Runs well and you can trust it.
I personally love my vehicle and the reason my parents bought it for me was because my mother's worst nightmare is her kids getting stuck in a car fire and my vehicle opens up all the way with a sun and moon roof plus the trunk opens enough for people to get in through the backseat. The only issue I have with my car is one of the tire sensors are going bad and we cannot figure out which one it is so the light remains on the whole time. Other than that I personally feel as if it is a safe reliable car for anyone.
accountCircle Austin S on September 12, 2019
Great car and very reliable.
My vehicle is a great car. It has held together very well and I have had no issues within the 2 years of me owning it. Although it is small on the outside, if I lay the back seats down I can haul lots of things. My vehicle is a 6 speed stick shift and drives very smooth. The only cons I would give this vehicle, is that it is not very practical for a car seat due to the bucket seats in the back. The make being only 2 doors makes it hard to move a child to and from the car seat. It is doable, however it is harder to do than a typical 4 door car. With that being said I do enjoy my scion. It's good on gas and oil. It's small enough to maneuver through traffic with ease, yet big enough I have fit a full size mattress and dresser in it.

Very reliable vehicle. Easy to perform maintenance by yourself. Only thing I don't like is the limited visibility for the blind spot, especially when having to merge into a different lane.

The scion tc is an extremely reliable vehicle, but the only problem that I would say that I have with it frequently is that I am constantly having to put oil in the engine cause the car burns through oil. I would say about every other time or so I have to put another pint of oil cause my check oil light will turn on, but other than that runs great.

Scion tc: big bang for your bucks.
No problems to date. The car is very well built, I haven't had any issues with mechanical, electrical, cosmetic, or otherwise. It gets good gas mileage in town and excellent gas mileage when on the highway. One thing (among many) is that this model is deceptively spacious and the rear passengers get more space and even partially reclining seats. So many good features.

Scion tC for young people
I do really like this car. Its quick, reliable, and stylish. The speakers in my car are absolutely fantastic, the best I've ever had. I also quite like the autopilot function and how easy it is to use. My few complaints with this car are that it sits really close to the ground so scraping is sometimes an issue. In addition, it's pretty stiff so you feel literally every bump in the road.

Why I love my scion and why you would enjoy owning one!
The only downside to the tc is the gas mileage in my opinion, but overall it is my favorite car. The interior and exterior is sleek and makes you feel like you are sitting in luxury. I love the fact that I have a panoramic sunroof. The sound system is wonderful and I absolutely love that I have Bluetooth capabilities. This car makes me want to make sure it is constantly washed, detailed and taken care of to the utmost possibility. Even though this is just my car that I use for everyday purposes like work, I honestly never get tired of driving it. The seats are comfortable and despite it being a 2 door coupe, it is very spacious. Everything is easily accessible at my fingertips. I do not have to struggle to reach anything, it is all on my steering wheel. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy connecting Spotify through the stereo and listening to my favorite playlists while having a smooth, enjoyable experience.

Most important thing you should know about a car is maintenance.
I would rate this car 8/10. Reliability is at the very top I have had no issues if you maintain the car to good standards you are set with this car mine is over 100, 000 and runs as if it was straight of if the lot. Comfort is great I am around 6’1 and I fit fine passenger seat is comfortable as well and backseats are extraordinary better than most sedans and you actually fit inside. Mine has a Bluetooth touch screen unit with had radio and I love it. Also has a sport mode which makes this car fun and enjoyable for any kind of trips. One problem I would say is stuff suspension, another would be a bit of rattle but those are easy fixes just with a few adjustments. Interior is really nice and back cabin is roomy which makes it good for whoever else you bring in your vehicle. Trunk space is good as well as it is a hatchback.

Sleek, sporty, dependable, smooth ride scion tc.
I love the scion tc. This car looks so sleek and sporty and has so much power. When you hit the gas it goes. I had a spoiler added to it and it really makes the car look great. It drives so smooth, even after 8 years it drives like the day I got it. I have not had any problems with it at all. Have never had to have any repairs done. Another amazing feature about this car is it came with a pioneer sound system that blows people away at how good it sounds. It sounds like you paid to have a new system put in.
