2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I bought my Scion Tc in March 2007. I had read reviews on this website about the paint quality, which has proven to be true. I have some scratches on my car that I think wouldn't have shown up as well on my old car. Now that I have that said, I LOVE love love my car. I have not had a single problem with this car in the over year and half I have had it. It drives perfectly. I haven't had to replace a single thing. I realize this isn't a luxury car, but as far as an economical choice, I couldn't recommend a better deal. The backseat area is great. The car drives with expected speed and great agility. Overall-For the price bracket it falls into, an awesome deal-wouldn't replace it ever.

Review
People who have only had this car for 2 months should not be writing reviews. I've had my tC for two years and I have never heard more rattles in my whole life. This car is VERY reliable, but the amount of road noise and all of the rattles are forcing me to sell it. Goodbye SCION hello G35!

Review
The driver's seat within a year of owning my car, when pushing forward to clean and get into the backseat, the seat will not stay in the forward position, it will roll back on you. But the other seat will stay forward. Has anyone else had this problem with the seat ?
Favorite Features
The radio controls
Suggested Improvements
Fix the drivers seat, so it will stay in the front position while trying to get in the backseat.

Review
Overall, Scion tC is worth every single dollar. What I love the most about this car is its exterior design, very sporty and handles good. I have spent less than $2000 in performance upgrades, and this car is a champion, compared to others in its class. the only downfall i could find on the tC is its cheap paint job, the paint chips really easily. Also the 2.4 engine that only performs 160 HP stock. The Civic Si performs 197 HP with its 2.0 liter engine, I would have expected more than 16 0HP for a 2.4 liter engine. Other than that this car rocks!

Review
I bought my TC in April 2007 when I went to the Toyota Dealership to test drive a Toyota Matrix. My Girlfriend spotted the TC and told me I should take a look. I decided to test drive it, and I was glad did. It has a smooth ride, pick up and passing power is decent and is very sporty with standard features that you would pay extra for in other cars. Overall I like it a lot.
Favorite Features
Double Sunroof, Radio Controls in the steering wheel area, full fold down rear seats for plenty of room for anything!
Suggested Improvements
Rear window wiper, higher gas economy, and stronger sunroof covers.

2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This is a nice little car for the price. It's got pretty good handling and a very sweet engine. The cornering isn't as flat as I'd like, but the steering is pretty sharp, especially after I got rid of the original tires. As is, it's pretty tossable, but I'm probably going to get an aftermarket rear sway bar to help flatten things out. I love the flexibility, if not the total horsepower, of the engine. It's smooth, torquey and quiet. Exactly what I've come to expect from Toyota. The transmission has good ratios, but could be smoother. 6 speeds would be nice. I really like the styling both outside and inside. It looks like it costs much more than it actually does.
Favorite Features
Great engine, nice looks and expensive- looking interior. The Mp3 cd player is a real plus. It doesn't feel like the economy coupe that it is. You don't have to suffer to save money.
Suggested Improvements
Tighter suspension, could use flatter cornering and possibly tighter springs/shocks. More supportive front seats with an infinitely adjustable reclining mechanism would be ideal. I'd like more trunk room with the rear seats up, also.

2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I am proud to admit out loud that my Classic Silver Mica tC already has 85,000 miles on it. I know it seems crazy but it's too much of a fun car to drive. What makes it even more encouraging to drive it is the extra money to buy aftermarket parts. I'm averaging 29 mpg (combined) with the Cold Air Intake even with my heavy lead-foot. My downs about it arent serious defaults to not turn anyone away from test driving it and buying one. But it's expensive to do dealer warranty maintenance like 30k or 60k; my dealer cost me $485.00 each time. My other down is I wish Toyota spent little more production money on better paint job. My final statement; This car is steal for what you pay! & its Toyota
Favorite Features
2.4 liter engine (my selling point), everything is standard
Suggested Improvements
Factory paint, brighter colors like orange, yellow, red. (These current colors are blending in with all the other automakers. It's Scion so lets make them stand out from the crowds!)

2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I love this car. It is fun to drive and you don't see it everywhere like mazda 3s and other new, semi affordable cars. Everyone compliments the car, even with paint chips. It's just different and fun.
Favorite Features
The seats work great for shorter people. I just can't drive without a sunroof now. I like the understated looks and the limited number of these on the roads compared to other cars.
Suggested Improvements
Scion needs to spend more time on the paint. It's nice looking but thin and poorly cured. Fix this and there will really be nothing to complain about for this price and quality of car. Fix this problem and I would easily keep buying Scions. Also respond to paint complaints and own up already.

2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
Have had the car for roughly 7500 miles and so far- so good. Only minor issues such as a small rattle in the rear hatch- apparently there was a TSB (I believe a Toyota service bulletin) to fix it. The car is the special edition- so it comes with a Kenstyle body kit- upgraded interior, and a better sound system than the stock version. Real glad I chose to do that. Not sure if it is just mine but my car seems to have a whistle when on the highway anything over 60 mph which I'm not to crazy about. Guess I'll just turn up the speakers.
Favorite Features
Big fan of the glass roof, styling, speakers, rear seat comfort, plenty of room when you lay the seats down to haul anything.
Suggested Improvements
Heated side mirrors, better tires from factory, maybe a little better gas mileage (doesn't really compare to the civic and I thought it would be very similar to the corolla but falls behind that as well)
