video review check it out... but no 56k allowed on THIS site!



http://reviews.cnet.com/2006_Scion_t...=true#mgallery

I think its pretty fair... I'm 6 foot 4, and I think Im OK in my tC, but now I feel claustrophobic!

 

Ya... not bad. The guy just seemed fasinated by the iPod thing... which is cool, but not THAT amazing.

I disagree with the side comments about bluetooth and nav not being offered. It's still a budget car - those are higher end features and if you really want them, you'll get them anyways. So it's not necessarily "bad."

 

lol so for six feet people dont buy Scion tC. Its for Asian hahaha jk

 

first of all... WHERE'S THE RADIO?!?!?!!?



just watch the clip again... and WAIT for it... WAIT for it...

...maybe its just me...

 

I'm 6-4, and have no troubles. In fact, others comment on the back seat and room?
Dunno, jaded reviewers see things differently.
I think their score is too low.

im 6-1 and i fit fine....the back seats recline so head room is great. what other 2 door coupe has that much room and options all in one package, with a decent powerplant.

 

damn that was not a review for the scion tc,. it was more of a review of the ipod headunit. that guy was like having an orgasm over that thing

 

Remember - cnet is technology based.... The review was centered around the technology in the tC.

 

^^^ Maybe so, but they give the car a reltviely bad score, IMO.
They should just have rated the stereo then!
And, BTW, one of the BIG items that made me go with the SCION was the iPod HU! It rules.

Anyone read their review after the video?

"Manual transmission versions can be boosted to 200hp by fitting the newly announced $3,200 supercharger from TRD. There are also rumors of a 250hp or even 300hp tC in the works."

 

^^ Ya... it's called turbo.

 

hahaha

 

ipods are amazing..Tc's are not....

 

Great, a troll now...

 

From the factory, not aftermarket? The review implied factory, given the context it was stated. We all know the aftermarket kits can hit 250-300.

 

ya... respect and discuss the speculation in all seriousness... i was just laughing cuz ack NAILED you...

 

That's what I don't understand, how did he "nail" me? Like "duh", everyone knows you can do it with an aftermarket turbo, his response was just stupidly stating the obvious. What's even more lame is how he didn't answer the follow-up.

 

I hope you are not really upset... because going through the cnet site, you really are bringin something to the table that people need to look into...

i think ack meant to do it all in good fun, and we do know there are turbos already, but he was kinda having you set up the pins for him to knock them down...

... watch what you type... you could get HUNTED

keep smiling! :D

 

disappointing to see such a low score for the tC, granted cnet is a tech site as mentioned by posters above. i'm also over 6 foot tall and have had minimal problems sitting in the rear seats. as long as there isn't an 8 foot sasquach in the seat in front of me it's usally acceptable. the reviewer made it sound like you might as well give up on rear seats all together

d0h!

 

It's easily explained by looking at the last page of their written review.

They only use three criteria:
comfort = 35%
performance = 35%
safety = 30%

No idea why they don't also consider value, as I'm sure many tC owners do. If they had factored that in, I think it'd have been >9.
