lol yeah i understand the hard plastic some of my friends dont like it though they were driving Mercedes and audi's like really guys stop comparing my cheap interior to luxury soft leather dash and door panels its a min 15K cheaper lol. but i honesty like the hard plastics since i have 2 dogs and they messed up my rear door panel and arm rest in my 08 camry. in the tC i just get i light scratch or scuff and a simple wash takes care of it. i did hate how easily it scuffs up but i clean my car all the time and weather tech mats help out a lot keeps the rug nice and clean. i hear you on the bleh part i felt that way with the driving after a few months but did some mods and i absolutely love the car far more than when i bought it.

Insurance is too damn high on these cars for not being sports cars, 2. Cheap interior

I do love the oem audio in the car though. Yeah unless someone buys it off me for 24k (still losing a few g's) il end up keeping it. getting 35mpg on highway and such, Just hoping insurance drops on this car one day. My car is paid off, and all that. 6 months insurance with just scion tc, is 1600 bucks... add a car, i get multi car discount, its 1500. (i added a truck just because of insurance) doesn't even get driven. Its still rediuclous to pay 200+ a month with a clean record. Granted I am 22 years old.

Its a good DD. idk, maybe im having buyers remorse after driving another car that I found to have same cost invested and has 10x nicer interior and options =\ our tc interior really blows. truly does.
Have you tried having your tC insured through USAA?

I'm 22 as well, and have my vic insured through them, and pay 200 which is still high but I only have one vic on there.

Doesn't hurt to try though.

Usaa wants 2400 for 6 months
Geico same, but I get 800 in discounts

A 13 veloster saves 70 a month
A 1996 Subaru outback only saves 100 a month so
Even with an outback I pay 1100 for 6 months and its a piece of poo

So some reason I'm an ultimate high risk driver with a cleaaaan record. One 7 mph over like 5 years ago, but I'm not being charged for it and it never altered insurance


Sorry to have digressed your thread I will stop
I like your car though.
