Smile Toyota Scion TC 2005

What do you guys think or heard about this car so far. I saw it the other day on a commercial. It looks really nice and has a good price tag for everything you get. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just test drove one yesterday. I drives like a champ. It feels like you driving a mercedes at the same time it corners very well. the interior is perfect. it could not get any better and you can see the exterior yourself. the only thing is that it could use a little bit more power. the car feels a little heavy.

i was considering this car to, but i wanted a four door over a coupe. You wont beat toyota realibity, but i like my mazda 3 better all around. it is neat that you can get 19'' wheels option on the tC and all the other mods.

I thought the ad said something about throwing on some 19"s but no dealer actually added that? and the scion website only has options for 17"s?

as for the more power... said til teh TRD supercharger comes out for it (only supposed to add 40 hp, but I bet it's not long before someone has a kit for it)

All the mods are dealer installed with warranty. TRD will service all aftermarket parts for the scion.

Thanks for your help guys. I am still going to make time to go test drive one. They look really nice in person. Reliability is a key issue.
