Default I got my tc!!!!

Got my tc last Wed. It is sweet. I got the azure pearl, I wanted the silver but liked the azure better. Be careful with the low profile tires though, I ran over a stick and punctured my sidewall. Problem is, you cant get that tire yet. So i'm sportin the dumbest spair tire ever made, it's yellow!! I don't get my new tire for four days.

i got my flint mica yesterday. I cannot stop driving this car, already put 80 miles on it, with about 80 more coming today. The handling and the power is impressive. One question though - what is the max rpm that I could take it to while its breaking in? I think 4k.

With the way I've noticed the gears, I'd say keep it under 5K when at all possible... These gears are a little peppy so keeping it at 3 will leaving you shifting like crazy.

Even when crusing on a highway at 75 mph, the cars is steady at 4500 in 5th (of course without aggressive shifting)

sry i forgot to mention - its a AT. The reason why I asked how high I can go, is my dad borowed my car and reved it to like 5,500 rpm.

Check with your local Scion dealer or get on scion.com and "chat" with a "live" person who should be able to give you that info.
