I dunno, I kinda think its a nice little car and cheap too. Good modding car and the insurance is probably low.

Good bang for the buck and Toyota has released a factory warrantied TRD supercharger kit for it. Then again, how the hell you gonna call a car "TC" without a turbo charger?

I'm starting to hate them, not really because of the car but the people that tend to drive them. I'm sick of stupid kids acting all hard in their TC, driving like morons, and just doing typical ricer nonsense. The car as a whole, meh, pretty good value but nothing I would ever buy.

Performance is poor (and the car is a little heavy for it’s size) and it's fuel economy (for it's size) is also not very impressive, but looks...price, sunroof and interior are dang good.
It was a car I considered just in case my dream of an 8 didn't happen!

Why is it that every TC owner wants to race me?!
I guess they just feel really cool when they squeel the tires out and see that I'm 20 feet behind them. Little do they know that they're not worth my time.
As for the car itself, it's nice looking from the outside. That dual sunroof is kind of cool but I'm not sure I'd ever buy one.
Probably a good car for high school kids since it's so cheap.

For $16k to start, it's a good value. I mean, 160 hp, 24mpg, ABS, mp3, sunroof, turn signals on side view mirrors, nice 17" wheels, power everything and this is standard. 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds, 60-0 in about 130 feet. I think it looks good and Toyota reliability to boot on a proven engine. I don't know why people are complaining. Oh yea auto up and down windows too. It does not compare to the 8 though more like the 3.
This car was supposed to be marketed for younger crowd but many older folks are buying it. I was crosshopping this and a Mazda3 for my sister. I was pushing for the Mazda3s but she went for this. She is 19 though, but I wish I had this car at 19.
cons: weak trunk space, (i would also say fwd but it is irrelevant). seriously, i thought long and hard and that's it

One of my homeboy's wife has one--from a value standpoint its an excellent car for the money with some niceties for that price (the panorama roof and turn signal mirrors are nice). From a performance standpoint...well, its cool and has/will have a nice aftermarket but its fairly heavy--not exactly tossable. Other than the weight issue the suspension could be firmed up as well as the power added. I'd have one as my daily if I just had disposable income.

i have no problems with the car itself, mainly have had bad exp with its drivers.
many of them think its a bit more than it is in my experience, and opinion only...
again. to me, it reads GLORIFIED PASEO.

before i bought my 8, i was seriously looking at getting a tC. when i added all the extras onto it that i wanted, it was coming in just a bit over 21k. then for some reason or another, i started looking around at other cars near that price range. then i started considering the rx8 and 350z. when i found my 8 for 22k it was a no-brainer to make the jump up. i still wouldn't mind having a tC, but not a chance i'd give up my 8 for it.

I think Toyota have a winner on their hands. First they corner the middle class market with Toyota, then the luxury market with Lexus and now the Gen Y market with Scion.
All while American companies like GM and Ford wonder what they are doing wrong.
