Even if stuff is covered by warranty, the fact that warranty repair services always quote hours and give you the go arounds kinda deters me. Customer satisfaction at the botton line just isn't that great.

oh wow, the hatch struts wore out and theres a few rattles and your complaining like its the end of the world. im just glad you didnt buy a new GM or Ford...
for the price, this is the best car in its class regardless of all the little problems it has.

If no one complained, then Scion wouldn't know what to fix.

I'm really disappointed by quality control. It seems like my car is a neverending source of little failures, squeaks, rattles, and clanks. I don't care if this car was "cheap" and "only" costed 19 grand out the door. The fact is, it was still nineteen thousand dollars (more with apr) that I'm paying for from a car company like Toyota whose been known for good quality cars. I've had a '99 14k Corolla and it didn't give me ANY trouble. I've taken my car for warranty repair services over 6 times now and its getting old. Plus the guys at the Toyota dealership always claim they "cannot reproduce the problem" and waste hours of my time giving me plenty of crap in the process. What a pain!

Yeah well I know alot of First year production vehicles where the INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES DONT FALL APART , closed my door today and the piece that goes on the handle fell off . I go to the gym and work out but I aint no steroid bull either . Im having a feeling I got the POOPIE tC of the bunch , My Dodge ram held up better than this and the tC only has 5000K on it .

Aside from having to get the retaining ring on the shifter replaced (there's a TSB for it) and having the cupholder LED's fall out of place because they are held on with TAPE, I haven't had any problems with my tC.
