How's the Heat?
OK, I've read a lot of complaints about the Scion tc's air conditioning, and I agree, it's pretty weak. Should I expect similar results for the heater?
It's just about to start getting cooler here, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I'll need heat.

Not sure what the complaints are about. The A/C on my '07 gets very cold very quickly, and the heater heats very well (only used in once here in LA, and that was to dry my clothes after a day at the beach).

AC and heat work great! The problem is that the car has a glass roof that heats up the car in the summer. But even so, the AC is more than adequate. I get in and out of my car at least 20 times a day, since I drive from appointment to appointment for my job.
I live in Arizona and it gets hot as F uck out here and my AC works awesome. Heat works well too. I used to live at the beach and it got cold in the winter and heat was awesome

Same with LA... The way water reserves are going, it's going to be cheaper to wash the car with gasoline instead of water! ...that is, if you don't blow up in the process. LOL
when its around 100 degrees it does seem to take a long time for the AC to reach its full potential.. over 15min sometimes, but then its ICE Cold.
as for teh heat
omg does it give you heat fast!!!!!!
serisously like after 1 min i have full heat! i love it!

The tC's a/c is decent. But yes, I've been in other Toyotas where it's much colder.
My wife's Solara has a much stronger A/C. It has a bigger compressor.
What I don't like about the tC is its vents. I have a hard time aiming them directly at me. The slightest nudge and it's a beyotch to move them back.
