low hanging fruit from this autoweek article: http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=101420

- tc buyer (not driver) median age is 25 (and I'm 26. I'm over the hill.)

- tc makes up 40% of all scion sales (the xB has a similar 40% share)

- Scion owners are insufferably whiny.

 

So true. We read the same whining here on SL.
People forget these are economic vehicles. :?

 

i loved the part about the guy who writes to scion to complaing about WIND NOISE at 115 mph!! how funny..

but the rest of this info i can agree with the finance guys at the dealership are always slime.. it's a prerequisite to be a finance guy.. lol

and they didn't give a grade for the service.. from what I've experienced Toyota dealers have A LOT TO LEARN!! I don't think I'm being whiny (like the article) when I complained they over filled the oil 1 qt! and had it corrected.. so yeah toyota dealers need to improve a lot..

other than that I thought the article was something I could agree with in my own experiences with the tC.. I am glad Toyota actually LISTENED to this market.. I've been saying for a long time sporty 2-door affordable cars have got to come back.. I'm glad there is the tC..

 

Very very true.

 

Yeah those people that are whining about the smallest things(like a moonroof noise at 115mph) need to stop. theyre giving Scion a bad grade.

 

i still thinks it's funny that you take it to 115mph and actually write the VP of the company to complain? yeah can we say "forget the warranty"?? ha ha

 

I still love my car. And nothing's gone wrong for me to complain about.

 

It is funny about the low customer ratings on Scion but then people have to wait months to get a tC. Go figure!

I would score the Scion high on any survey for quality. But like the rest of you already know alot of people are this board are babies and _____ about every little things wrong with the car.

 

Look!, everybody that bought a tC or is thinking of buying one, should have known or know what they were getting themself into by buying a first generation vehicle, but I didn't care cause I knew if anything went wrong (squeacky roof, ratling hatch etc.) the warranty would cover it. All of those things are very minor defects and can be fixed, but people shouldn't let that ruin their expectations about their car. If you don't like it take it, take it back and trade it in for something else, maybe you can get something cute, like a corrolla or you can keep a very unique car that has along waiting list at every dealer. Oh yeah! happy holidays to you all.

 

Honestly, what car are you going to find that has the same features as the TC with that pricetag?
