I resent your remark. I just turned 30. 27 IS NOT anywhere near 30.

Your never to old to drive a Scion. I just turned 46 and I have a XB and a XA. Who cares what other people think. If you worry about what other people think, you'll be living their life not yours.

Default Not too Old

The Scion is wonderful for any age. I'll be turning 30 in May and I'm signing the papers for a beautiful black cherry automatic tonight!! You're only as old as you feel, and my foot on the gas pedal tells me I'm sweet 16!!!

As Americans, I think we sometimes feel like our cars represent our ages, and our personalities..In Europe, where it costs more to own a car, small cars with that are well designed are driven by all ages, So they don't spend much time thinking about being "too old" for a particular car...I am 35, and feel that I made the right choice with the TC, and that choice had less to to with my age, than with the positive experiences I have had with Toyotas in the past...

I'd have to disagree. I'm pushing 21. I make the payments. But I guess I'm kinda like, 1 out of 1,000 right?

Yeah... but I dont think that average is quite accurate... They are averaging the ppl who "bought" the tC... not the actual owners... I have a few friends who are my age... 20... and their parents had to sign for the car to get a better interest rate...

And also.. my mom is 40 (she doesnt look it though ).. and she wanted to buy a tC... I had to stop her though.. bc I didnt want another tC in my household... That would suck!!

COMPLETLY UNTRUE.

I am 19 and will be purchasing a brand new TC in August (in you live in phoenix, you would know to wait until after summer)

and I am paying for the car entirely myself. I have saved up the past few months and by the time August comes around Ill have enough to drop at least 50% of the cost as a down payment.

Saying young people cant afford ____ without their parents is stupid and offensive.

I agree with cyr0n_k0r... The only thing is that my mom financed the car under her name... But I was the one paying for it out of my own pocket... & I'm 20!!

I'm 35, with a 13 year old son. I just bought my tc a week ago. I think it's a great little car. My son and his friends think I'm the coolest mom. If you like it, go for it.

now, I really do feel old. 39 here, but have grown up with cars and I love. I think young, so hopefully that counts.
