Linky no worky.

Also..the Elantra? lol wtf. Well since Hyundai is stepping up their game I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

economical? yes,
high quality? hell no.

 

Highest Quality ??? they must've gotten one of the tC's without the squeaks and rattles...

 

correct linky...

I know the tC has it rattles and such, but other than that it has been fine. Nothing has broken on it. Also, for $18k I expect some rattles and such.

But up against the Lexus, that is just purely wrong. The IS I would imagine would be way better than a Scion.

Plus, I never really cared for JD Power reports, mainly because of reports like this.

And the PT Cruiser won an award, come on!

 

I think it's understandable since it's just the "initial satisfaction" rating for the first 90 days of ownership. During my 1st 90 days I'd have rated the tC a LOT higher than I would have after 6 months, as it turned into a rattletrap during that time.

 

Overall Toyota is dominating the top 5 with 3 of their cars in there! Initial quality and long term road test and maintenance costs are a different story. I think TC's are pretty cheap to maintain as long as you keep it stock-ish.

 

looooool

 

Wow I drive a Yaris and my wife drives the tC........good to know our cars are doing well statistically.........cause they gotta last a while.

 

jw why would u drive a yaris lol?

 

A Yaris has a lot of potential!

 

I still don't get the whole deal with ratttles. My '06 has 50K+ and has never rattled.

 

3rd in highest quality?

Mine feels like its going to fall apart any day now.

Good thing im getting a new car soon, imma miss the tC.

 

Hey the Yaris is not a bad car. Not great either though. I think this report is way off base.

 

Howcome Ford isn't on that list? Didn't Ford outrank Toyota AND Honda in quality recently?

 

first just let me say that i didnt read the article so this is just my opinions.

when you rate a car on quality...you should also take into account the price paid for the car. obviously there are waaaay better quality cars out there.

but whens its comes down to quality per dollar paid, the tc is a good choice. its been said before, just re-instating.

 

has never rattled you're one of the lucky ones then. just wait it will start and when it does you'll know what the rest of us are talking about. lol

 

i think everyone who complains about rattles is just a crybaby.
its a rattle, turn the volume on your radio up 5 notches and get over it.

hahaha.

 

hmmm
