Scion tc. Great car for a great price!

Even tho it is just the base model, the scion tc is really quick! It is a really nice looking car. The standard sound system will blow your mind. My only complaint is that there is no button to open the hatch. You have to use the key if you ever want to access the trunk.

My car is white, it is a manual, it accelerates quickly and it is fun to drive.

I haven't had any issues and it is extremely comfortable! The headlights could be brighter, but I could probably just replace the bulbs. I do not have any complaints. I love driving a manual, and this car makes it even more fun. I think more people should look into owning a scion. I wish they didn't stop making the tcs.

2015 scion tc: my first car and best choice for a car.

It's a pretty nice looking car that gets the job done. Clean looking, reliable, and durable. It's a great car to have if you don't have kids or if you aren't driving more than 1 other person around. The back has space but I can see how people could be annoyed with constantly lifting back and forth the seats. Regardless, all the pros outweigh the cons in terms of performance. The car has great gas mileage and drives smoothly.

It's just amazing. The color is beautiful.

It's a very good car. And it looks amazing and really fast. It feels good driving it. All the ladies love it. My family love driving the car too.

The space for a two door sports car is amazing. There is plenty of space!

Very reliable car, runs smooth on street roads and highways. It is fun for summer and easy to drive in the winter snow as well. The speaker sound is amazing. Car comes with Bluetooth, sunroof and moonroof. Spacious trunk for a compact car. I am able to put the back seats down as well. For more space.

The spaciousness of the car feels rather big for being a two door.

I love the sleek design of the car that also flows into the interior. The car itself drives very smoothly and shifts nicely. For being a two door car it seems really spacious inside. Every part of the car feels like there's enough room to be comfortable.

Julie H

Small car, but very roomy!

I haven't had any problems with the car, it is everything I expected. It runs great and is a very cute car. It is compact, but has a ton of storage space, especially when you put the back seats down. It is only a 2 door, but even when I have 5 people in the car everyone has enough room.

Orange & black release series!

I love the release series cartel style of this tc. The first sunroof, push start engine, 6 speed manual shifter and the sleep orange and black interior and stitching. Also has review cam for reverse and sock wheels with a decent air intake factory installed.

It is a very dependable car.

Dislike: not a "quiet" ride, needs soundproofing. When headlights are on, video (radio) dims so you cannot read it.. Like: sporty chassis..

Lv G

The last roll-call of the scion tc.

I have only owned it for 2 years and have had no major repairs outside of routine maintenance. Interior is lackluster but I do not mind because if something breaks it is easily fixable due to it being plastic. The performance is mediocre but is pretty quick for a 4 cyl and is pretty competitive with most cars in its segment. Lastly, it is the only coupe I have ever owned that gives you as much space in the backseat as a sedan so no complaints on roominess.

Madison F

Fun and flirty car but not your everyday run around town car.

I love the sport feel to my scion tc! There are just a couple things I wish I had considered more. Of course with the sport feel comes the very low ride. I have scraped the bottom of my car a number of times just trying to get around steep curbs. Also getting in and out of the car can sometimes be a pain. It is not an easy car to get in and out of. One last thing that is frustrating is the car has no back window wiper. Can be very frustrating!

It has a lot of blind spots and the potential for being hurt in an accident is high

I don't feel safe driving the car. The back windows are hard to see out of and it is an odd shape

Amanda S

My car could go fast and it's like sports car.

I don't love it or hate it it's an 50/50. It's comfortable and smooth to drive. I have been having alot of trouble with the breaks even though they are brand new and my dad changed them. You could put the car in sports mode to drive really nicely on the highway.

Courtney C

The first car I have owned.

I bought this car used (1 owner) and with 60000 miles on it for a decent price. It is very reliable; however I do have to do a good job maintaining the vehicle more frequently than I’d like. I had issues with the car locks, lights, and brakes run down quickly. I also do not really admire the color which is blue.

Pearl white 2015 scion tc.

One of the main problems of the scion tc 2015, is that it only has two doors. I have had this car for five years and now I am in college with a two door car. The performance of the car is very nice. Everything inside of the car is dark black and a dark gray color. The lights inside the car on the dash are red which brings out a car detail. The reliability of this car is amazing! Even though it has low profile tires, it is amazing. The outside color is a pearl white with sparkles inside the paint. The features are absolutely amazing and I would not trade it for being a used car for my first car.

There are lights on the side doors and you can change the color of the lights.

Car is pretty low, depending on the tires you have on them (mine are low profile) you have to be careful over bumps and potholes. Gas is great not much to fill up the tank. Every year I have to drain the HVAC system because it gets clogged and wets the passenger side carpet.

Makenzie P on June 8, 2021

The tc is a cute and affordable car made by Toyota and is very reliable.

I love the car, it is very cute and sporty looking, it is a low cost car and is good on gas. I wish the inside had a little bit nicer trim, and a bit nicer steering wheel. But overall a good car. There are many aftermarket parts for the older models of the TV, but there is a lack of newer mods for the newer models.

Pros from Owners

Ashley G.

The engine has a straight four which last much longer than your average four cylinder. It also was built strong, I love that I can feel the weight of it when I am driving. Not saying it has lag just that when you steer one direction the car isn't wobbling or swaying all over the road. I also love how unique the parts are compared to other cars.

Gabreylle S.

Rides smooth, Scion are good on gas and they are very reliable within aging and mileage. They are super cute looking easy to maintain, as well as cleaning wise. They can kick into gear really fast too.

Sully G.

Even though its a sports car, it can be easily be converted into a family car too. I like the fact that its spacious enough to fit my toddler in the back with his car seat and everything. I can say that it's a very good vehicle and I like the fact that it's a limited series car.

Cons from Owners

Ashley G.

I am not a huge fan of the two doors. Especially when you have a have other people get in. I have to either get out or lean all the way into my steering wheel which is not ideal. Other than that there isn't much I do not like which is why I purchased the car to begin with.

Gabreylle S.

The only problem I really face with my scion is the oil it's not normal oil used and the filter. The filters are paper. You also have to think about it scions are foreign so when it breaks down the parts become more expensive to fix.

Sully G.

The cons would have to be that the car is a 2 door car and not a 4 door car, it makes things take longer than usual. But other than that, the car is very good and it gets the job done. I am also not a big fan of the color, its orange and black.
