I love the performance of my vehicle. The scion tc drives really well and is actually fun to drive. I have never had any major problems just regular maintenance. I love the look and sporty style of the vehicle and it came standard with a moon roof and custom mags. The color of my car is beautiful and I get many compliments.

It has great driving and smooth turns love the sunroof.
Too low and you feel every bump also it is loud. I do not like the car as much as I hoped I would. I have had a lot of problems with the key getting stuck in the ignition and if you park it a certain way turning the key over can be an issue. Gas mileage is good.

Feeling sports car and cool to ride.
2 doors makes it more difficult to put a lot of stuffs inside your car. But I like the simplicity of the car. Because it was 2013 model not much good features you have to install it to upgrade it. I haven't experienced much trouble in this car except the tire got replaced for couple of times.

Amazing, efficient, beautiful car.
Very disappointed that Toyota discontinue their scion line. I love this car. It is efficient, reliable, and beautiful! I have never had any problems with this vehicle. My next choice would've been an FRS if Toyota kept this line. I plan on keeping my scion for a long time.

Scion tc year 2013 review.
The door plastic rattles when the music is turned up too loud. I like that the car has been reliable and has not had any major problems. I like how big the back seat is so it is not like a typical two door car with a tiny backseat. I like how big the windows are but I do not like that when I move the shade towards the window to block the sun it is too short to block. I have to extend the mirror cover to get semi coverage. The way the car is set up is like lego pieces with clips so it makes it kind of cheap feeling and can be annoying when the clips break.

The car is reliable and runs well on gas. The mileage is good.
I do not have any complaints regarding my car. It's reliable. The gas mileage is good.

It has more space and is more comfortable and easy to drive than it looks
I love the size and handling, it has a lot of cargo space. I love the sunroof. The only thing is I have 2 kids and need more seating, and in the summer in Texas it gets very hot inside and takes a while to cool down. I don't like that there is no way to open the rear hatch from the driver seat

They no longer make scions and that is because they were poorly built vehicles.
It is made of plastic. It always breaks down. I did not get what I wanted from the dealer.
Justin M

All great but except that one thing.
Great car. Performance is amazing better than expected. Love that you can drive in auto or manual. It even has paddle shifters on steering wheel very comfortable in front seat. Only problem is hard to get in the back seat, especially if you are bigger.

The scion tc is a great car.
Awesome car for a young person. Great speaker system and decently fast. Only issue I have had with the car is the drivers side door develops a rattle when playing music at mid to high volumes. This is something I have seen happen a lot and it is a super easy 5 minute fix.

Gray car. Two door. Pretty cool.
My vehicle has not been giving me many problems. It is old now, but thankfully it is running good. It is a two door car and I recommend buying this car if you do not have a family. Sometimes I regret not having a 4 door car. Besides that, it is pretty good.
Brittany G
on January 29, 2021
Best car that they stopped producing! The best scion to date, if you ask me.
No issues what so ever and is amazing on gas!! It rides very smooth, lights are bright enough but not blinding and the dual sunroof is super niche. I have had this car going on 7 years now and it was my very first car and it has not let me down yet.

Scion TC is a good car to have
My car is a Scion TC. It is the most reliable car I have ever had. It does not give me any problems whatsoever.

Scion tc is a great vehicle.
I have enjoyed my scion tc. It gets great gas mileage and has not had any problems thus far, it has over 130, 000 miles on it and I bought it brand new. I have kept the oil changed every 5, 000 miles. Over all, it is a great vehicle. I just wish it had more room.

Perfect cheap and reliable car for any teenager.
Great on gas! I can drive for 3 hours and it barely uses a quarter of the tank! Costs me about $35 to fill my tank, I live in California so gas is not cheap, but $35 is great for here! Super reliable, I haven't had many problems with it, besides my headlights fogging up but that is about it!

on December 8, 2020
The scion tc from my view.
The scion tc is a great vehicle to have overall. The car is a coupe and it is consumers are people in their teens and 20's. On terms of reliability it is excellent. Performance wise it a good performing car for a four cylinder. Comfort is good, but it could be better.
Sarah R
on November 11, 2020
Getting that sporty look at a scion tc . Is a great car.
I really don't have anything bad to say about my scion tc 2013 . I love my car. If you maintenance the car and drive it with always enough gas is good. I never let my car get to low on fuel because that just makes the car drive better . When your going to get a scion as long as you do the correct maintenance it will drive awesome.
Brett R
on October 14, 2020
Great car for the money!!
Nice car that is very easy to drive, but fun at the same time. I have owned the car for 3 or 4 years now and it has costed me very little money. Parts seem to be a little more pricey than the more typical cars. Tires can get expensive. I have more good things to say about this car than bad. Overall I would say I like this car and am happy that I bought it.

For being stock the motor is quite impressive.
Great reliable little sporty looking car great on fuel affordable drives super great lots of room sunroof always comes in handy day or night engine has a lot of horsepower braking system setup is a plus my family loves it. With an all around surround sounds powered by pioneer.
Caleb T

The scion all around is a great vehicle.
Interior could be nicer. The overall vehicle is extremely reliable and has great performance. Interior yet again is the only downside. Trunk space is amazing. Backseat is small. But overall reliability is great and the technology is also amazing in this car. Love the sport option and the trim.

2013 Scion tC Base - Hatchback
The 2013 Scion tC has great acceleration. It is a sporty 2 door hatchback with a good sound system to compliment the atmosphere while driving in the vehicle. It sits low to the ground and is attentive to curves and straightaways. The interior is spacious in both the front and the back of the vehicle.
Nicole F

Short 2013 scion tc review.
It is absolutely the best car ever! It gets great gas mileage, it is very sporty and it is great in the snow. I drive my car everywhere! Only downfall is the low clearance. I currently have 18” wheels and it is lowered slightly therefore it sits slightly lower than most cars in the road.
Sophia T
on September 22, 2020
Scion tc are perfect cars for first time drivers.
I have had no problems with my car so far. The only problems have been replacement battery and oil changes which is normal. I drive a stick shift and I really enjoy it. The hatchback is very nice. It allows me to drop the back seats and have plenty of room. The seats are all very nice. They are a unique shape that is very comfortable. The speakers are nice as well. I was able to get a sub thanks to the big trunk space. I like how the car is front wheel drive and stick shift. It makes me feel like I have more control when I am on the road. I never feel my car slip on hard turns. I have never had a problem with hydroplaning. One thing that I do notice is that high winds tend to push my car around a little bit but it is not bad at all.
Candis C
on September 11, 2020
Love my Scions! Too bad they've been discontinued!
Love the versatility. Wish it had 4 doors. Hatchback is super convenient. Glitch in the manufacturing (loose lever to move passenger seat) makes an annoying rattling noise.

Scion does well on performance and handling.
Haven't had any real issues. My vehicle has driven well and the only problem I have had is my tire pressure sensor does not work. My husband has the same vehicle but one year older. Both vehicles have been good vehicles for every day driving or long distance traveling.
Anna F
on August 6, 2020
I learned how to drive stick with this car; it has a special place in my heart
Reliability is what's most important to me and I can really count on my Scion to get me from point A to point B. My TC doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a luxury car but I don't want them.
Taylor R
on August 1, 2020
It is a car with a hatchback!
The only problem I have had with this vehicle is that it rides low to the ground and sometimes rubs when going into driveways. It is great on gas mileage, has a great stereo system, and has never broken down and it is about 7 years old. Over all I have no complaints. I love that it has Bluetooth capability and I love the hatchback feature that most cars do not have.
Lauren T
on July 29, 2020
It is bigger than you think.
Love the gas mileage but not really a fan of having to get a few alignments a year due to road holes etc. I would prefer different floor carpet than what I have. But I do overall like how spacious it is to be a 2-door.
Tara C

2013 scion tc is still running strong!
It has been very reliable and I haven't had any issues with it over the past few years. As of late, it is beginning to idle a little off, but I have not had any maintenance on it other than regular oil changes. I have about 150,000 miles on it and it still runs really good. It also still gets an average of 29 mpg. Overall, I have been very happy with it.

Regarding safety you may want to shop around as it is almost all glass.
I love manual transmission but really dislike driving my car in traffic. I love that I can fill my tank with 35 dollars but it needs to be filled pretty constantly. It is a low maintenance vehicle and is low cost sports car. I love it.
Ashley H

My scion tc is the best car I have ever had!
When I went out to buy my car, I fell in love with it. Surprisingly 4 years later, I still do. I luckily have not had any problems out of it. The performance is great, it rides smoothly, it is quite comfortable on the inside. The features of the car are easy and straight to the point. The backseat had a ton of leg room, unlike most two door cars with a small backseat. I love my sunroof and moonroof in the car, I can easily put the back seats down for my soccer practices and I have a ton of room for my equipment. This has been my favorite car I have ever had and I definitely highly recommend it!

Handle very well zigzag road.
This model do not exist anymore they stop doing it. I love this car, mine is with shift gear handle very well the road on snow, ice. I can do 6 times 78 miles, this model is a sport car, why I like it first I do not sleep when I drive, handle back road on zigzag very well, very comfortable for a sport car also my car has 6 gear that was a little different when u are used to 5 but I do love it. This car can be purchase but not new but used.

It's great on gas mileage and you can customize the look of it to each individual need or desire.
My car was exactly what I was looking for after my not at fault accident 6 years ago. I love the interior and sleek look of the exterior. I have been able to modify it the way I like it and get looks wherever I drive it. It's sad Scion is no longer making vehicles.
Elliott O
on June 9, 2020
Scion act comfortable and reliable.
Car is extremely reliable. No issues as long as you do routine maintenance to vehicle. Comfortable ride and seating for the front passengers back passenger are usually my kids or my sisters who are smaller in stature. Overall relatable and would definitely buy again.
Ashleigh F
on June 9, 2020
My trunk lift supports gave out on me and I had to replace them, but I've had the car for 5 years and they gave out in year 4.
My car handles very well. It's sporty without being too sporty. It gets decent gas mileage but still has get up and go unlike other sedan cars. Now that I'm getting older I do wish I had 4 doors instead of a coupe. It is paid off though and I will drive it until it dies. It is easy to upkeep and has been a really reliable car. No issues whatsoever.
Sharon A

If you like to drive a stick shift, this is a fun, comfortable car
This vehicle is very reliable, sturdy and well-built. I have over 100,000 miles on it and it is still running very well. I keep my vehicle very clean, and the trim, paint, and interior are all still pristine. The car is a manual transmission and I enjoy the active driving. The car is sporty but still comfortable, with a tight suspension. The car has a sunroof that opens wide and there is also a solid sunroof for the rear passengers. The seats run the back are comfortable, especially for a compact car. The back is a hatchback and the rear seats fold down to haul large items.
Tony C
on June 7, 2020
Great looks. Body style is very attractive. Amazing sunroof. Great interior.
Stock shocks are not so great. Car is good on gas though. Ride is rough especially on bad roads. Never any engine problems as long as you take care of it. Regular oil changes etc. Breaks tend to get used up a lot quicker but that could be human error. Other than that it's a great commuter car.
Ana M

The most important thing you should know about this car is that is very durable.
This vehicle is extremely comfortable, engine sounds good and it is durable. I have no current complaints.
Liliana C

It is really good on gas and it doesn't take much to fill it up. I drive it about 40 minutes every day to and from work and I get a whole week's worth of driving before having to refuel
I like that my car is little, but still very spacious. I love that my car is really good on gas. One thing I don't like is that it is only has two doors. I wish I would have thought that through more before I bought it because it is a hassle to get in and out of. I also like that sitting in the back seat I can reach for something in the trunk. I like that it's not completely separate.

Vehicle overview of 2013 scion tc.
Rattle in doors from loose components, the vehicle is extremely reliable though, and easy to maintain. Paint has faded a little over time which is expected, but the clear coat has begun to peel around the driver side door handle. Suspension, brakes, tires are good. Interior holds up exceptionally well and the inside of the car is much larger than it appears.

It's fast and it's a 6 speed.
Great car. Its fast and moves great in traffic. Extremely reliable haven't had any major issues with the car to thIs date. Very affordable the only thing I do not like about it is it's a 2 door car and a 4 door sedan would work better for my family its black with grey interior.
Kaitlyn O

Great starter car for daily driver!
Great vehicle. Has held up with over 130,000 miles. We just replaced the battery for the first time. This car gets great gas mileage and is reliable. It would be a great starter car or daily driver for someone who has a long daily commute. Very customizable for those that like to customize their vehicles.

Scion tc - great stereo system/speakers and drives very nice.
I love my scion tc. The speakers are very good and it drives very smooth. I like that it looks sporty and I like that it is a hatchback because it makes the interior of the car larger and gives people who sit in the backseat legroom. I have had to take it in for the check engine light coming on twice but other than that I have had no serious problems with it. I am very satisfied with my car and would definitely buy another scion tc in the future.
Nicole A
on February 13, 2020
Easy to maintain and reliable.
I love my car because it is the perfect size for me. Sometimes it feels a little low to the ground especially when there are bumps in the road. So far my car has not had any real mechanical issues and has been ok with just routine maintenance. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
Fatima E
on February 13, 2020
I like how you can use the car as manual and automatic.
I love my car because it has a sunroof. As time goes by the gas pedal and brake become very sensitive. The steering wheel is also very sensitive as well. You get use to it after awhile. It is very comfortable, when you are driving short distance. Does need servicing often due to the brakes.
Erin W

2013 scion tc is affordable and sporty! Great car for cruising.
I absolutely love my scion tc. It has outstanding gas mileage a great sound system and drives very smoothly. The pedals are a tad touchy but not too bad. The only thing I dislike is how low to the ground the seats in the car are. Not good for inexperienced drivers this should not be your first car.
Nathan M

The best hatchback I have ever came across!
Absolutely love my 2013 Scion tC! I have never had any problems with it. Very spacious, it is a hatchback so there is lots of room. The backseat is very comfortable for a two door car. Gas mileage is very good highway and city wise. Recently moved from Louisiana to downtown Dallas, TX and was able to fit lots of boxes in my car! The moonroof is my most favorite part of my car, but I love the car in its entirety and will keep it even when it is time for me to get a family vehicle.
Paola N

I really love my scion tc.
I have the car since 2013 and only one time give me problems. I was out of my country for 1 year and when i started the car didn't accelerate but the dealer fix it faster. Is very comfortable and spacious. For be 2013 have a modern features.
Jose P

Inexpensive, reliable and fun.
Very reliable car, has an amazing sound system and a lot of cool features. Great gas mileage and easy maintenance. The only drawback for me was that it is front wheel drive. I would have preferred an automatic as well, mine was a stick shift and stick shift is not fun in Los Angeles traffic.
Kay D
on September 14, 2019
Reliable and safe- yet sporty!
I love the color of my car. It is a matte grey called 'wet cement' and makes the vehicle feel unique and a little more sporty! The car is compact and reliable. I have driven it for almost 6 years now and have had no issues besides normal upkeep. If I were picking out a car now, I would choose and upgraded model with a better stereo system, nicer finishing options, and non-cloth seats. However, the cloth seats are nice on hot days.

The hatchback on the car make for loading the trunk a lot easier.
This car handles very well with very responsive steering and brakes. The interior is very comfortable, as a two door it is very roomy on the inside with plenty of room for 5 passengers. I have not had any problems with this car the entire time I have had it. The gas mileage is very good and my car gets approximately 300 miles to the tank.
Alexandria G
on July 15, 2019
Exceptional where it counts.
My scion tic is extraordinarily reliable. I love the pioneer sound system and the double wishbone suspension on the back. The interior feels a bit cheap and if the music is loud, some knobs rattle. The sunroof is great but the cover to close it seems flimsy and cheap.
Brittany M
on July 14, 2019
My dream car from sixteen.
When driving for more than 30 min there is a fan noise that is loud and continues until you take the key out of the ignition. The buttons on the door for the locks and windows rattle from the speakers base if the volume is too high. The sound system is great but the trunk cover is cheap looking and does not work that smoothly.
Elijah R

Scion tc 2013: comfortability and reliability.
It is very comfortable to drive, it is low to the ground but not to low where you hit bumps. Turns great and stirs very well. Does not have the best mileage but it is better than a truck that is for sure. It is a nice, affordable, and has all the features you need to have a safe and fun trip. It fits 5 but I'd say it only fits 4 because it is way more comfortable with only 4 passengers.
Paul D
on March 16, 2019
The performance tires were fun but wore out quickly.
My scion tc is very reliable. I have had no problems or major repairs in five years. My model has a roll bar under the hood which really helps when making a sharp turn.
Victoria V
on March 13, 2019
The most interesting feature this car has is the sun/moonroof.
I love how sports like yet how simple it is. It can be driven manually or like a stick shift car. There is a sunroof that opens and a moonroof. Although the moonroof does not open, it is pretty cool for anyone who is riding in the back to be able to look at. The biggest downfall of this vehicle is the fact that it has horrible blind spots making it difficult to see on your sides and behind you
Amber H
on February 13, 2019
The sun roof is our favorite part.
The car performs well, though having any repairs done will be an issue as they are no longer making them. It is very comfortable, and driven on a daily basis but has had no major issues over the last few years. The steering responds well, though sometimes it can be a little tough to handle, we have a manual and it generally switches gears well but we also maintain it regularly at the dealership.
Katie O

Scion tc review from a first car owner.
Good vehicle for the gas mileage. I wish it had more space. My tc has over 120, 000 miles on it and has done well. Great little start up car. Aftermarket parts are very easy to find so you can customize your vehicle. I would purchase again as my first vehicle.
Olivia O

Overall a good car for the price. It has some issues, including the coolant light staying on, it drives like a plastic car and is very loud
Sara F

Scion tC a great first car
The sound system the car comes with is amazing quality and you can feel the music. It is a very spacious car even though it looks small. The gas mileage is mediocre, but it is not terrible. The engine seems to have issues from time to time and the alignment can be irritating at times. I think it's a great car especially for a first car.
Virginia J
on November 21, 2018
The hatchback makes the car.
I loved my car when I first purchased it. It is sleek and fun. The lower engine cover is easily ripped off and the front bumper is not very secure. The blind spots are everywhere and the gas mileage is very poor. The stereo is great but the comfort of having a two door is not good especially when having kids.
