Default My Review of the Scion TC after 3000 miles

Well I have a lil over 3000 miles on my Scion TC, its been two New Orleans from Little Rock and back when it was just two weeks old :D so how did it work out?

Positives: Great car for the price, handles good, good mpg on gas, the 6 disc cd player with sub is nice for those long rides. Also FYI the sub comes in really handy is say someone is sleeping in the back seat and you wanna wake them up!!! hehe... I love the moon roof have been playing with it alot... the car itself just is so nice, the 4 wheel disc anti lock brakes have already come in handy with the numb nutz around here who cant drive in construction zones..

Negatives: Not really bad but just lil things but eh its a killer car in my book so here it is.. The cover over the stereo is hard to open sometimes, you wanna just punch it... the cars hatch tends to rattle as does the moon roof when its cold. More than likely this is just the ol rubber seals being frozen Even with the package on the car to cut down on the sound, the car still tends to let alot of wind and road noise in... Area around the pedals is a lil small, not bad, but when i have my spike boots on I am afraid I am gonna hit those lil LCD lights under the dash.. those thing should be put up a lil higher anyway... so how did I rate the 2005 Scion TC after 3000 miles on it?

Rating: 9 out of a possible 10, its got sleek street style with luxery mixed in, and a price that just cant be beat. Not to mention its a freaking import :D :twisted: and that works for me.. I would very very much suggest this car to others....

the alarm that the dealer put on it is not factory, they got someone local to put it on.. i dont blame that on the car.. the alarm works with all the buttons on the key just fine, just the alarm is a P.O.S. the alarm shop sucks they do horrid tint and alarm jobs.... car is great though :D
