2009 Scion tC Sports Coupe 5-Spd MT

Pros

Great little car, Gas Mileage, Sound System, and Roof!

Purchased As New

This is my first car I bought myself. I ended up in a car accident last May that broke my hip and tore the tendons and muscles in my hip, so I don't have the strength to get into cars like I used to. I test drove the Honda Civic and the Ford Mustang and those were really hard for me to get in and out of. My little brother has Muscular Dystrophy and he is able to get in and out with ease as well. Not only is it easy to get in and out of, the sport bucket seats are amazing. They are so comfortable that I have no issues camping in my car.
The space in this coupe is amazing. I can fit my skiis and surfboard in it (at the same time!!!). I also have two labs so I can lay down the seats in the back and fit both of them in there comfortably. It's great for a college student (which i am). Toyota offers financing targeted specifically towards students. Yet, my mother wants to sell her Siena and get a tC so this is not just a teen's car.
Yes, the road noise is alittle obnoxious, but with the sound system that comes with it, just crank it up and have a little dance party. The reaction time is a little on the slower side as well. I love the customizable features in this car and the fact that you can make this car your own. I don't think that I have come across a tC just like mine yet.
The car is so much cheaper than the Civic. With all the stock equipment that I got on mine, it would have cost me almost 5k more to go with the Civic and the Mustang didn't have as much add-ons as Scion offers.
All in all, great little car. Great first car with amazing potential (for those of us to enjoy spicing up our cars). And Scion does stick to those commercials about individuality.
