Sorry for reposting this here but I was getting no love in the "introduce yourself" forum section so here it is:


Hello everyone, I just went to my local Scion Dealership and put a deposit down for a 2013 MGM Scion Tc. The car is already at the dealership but I have to wait a week because they are installing; fog lights, a spoiler, heated charcoal grey leather seats with magnetic grey colour stitching and a cargo cover (I know the cargo cover is not really considered an installation). I did not even test drive the car (I don't think anyone else did either since it only had 7km (4.34 miles) on it) but I know I will like it. Anyway, I traded in my 2009 Silver Streak Mica Toyota Tacoma access cab 4x4 for the Tc. I simply wanted to trade because I was getting bored of the truck and although I never abused it, I was always OCD/stressed out after taking my truck off road worrying if anything was damaged/scratched. Don't get me wrong, the Tacoma is an awsome truck (the best IMO) but since I mostly do city/highway driving I knew a car would be better for me. However, I will buy a new Tacoma in the not too distant future but I am waiting at least until the rumored 2015 complete redesign comes out. And if you are still reading this, you are probably wondering why I chose a Tc. Well I chose to buy a Tc because I like the styling and most of all, I love the features. There are very few cars on the market which have as many features as the Tc does at such a reasonable price (actually I don't think there are any). However, above all else I chose the Scion because of the legendary Toyota reliability behind it.

PS I did look at the FRS and although I think it is a gorgeous vehicle, I do not think it is a practical daily driver.

 

Oh and I forgot to mention my first so called "mod". I just ordered front and rear weathertech digitalfit floor mats. Future mods will probably only be a pioneer DVD deck and i probably wont do anything else besides some snow tires.

 

While I've never been a fan of people not test driving cars before they buy it, I'm sure you'll enjoy your TC =) Post up some pics when you get it!

 

Congrats man! I'm sure you will love it. As a 3 time TC owner I will tell you reliability is top notch. A side from brakes and tires (and a transaxle seal on my 08'.... i never had ONE problem with any of my TCs.

Welcome aboard.

 

Congrats. When I test drove my tC before purchasing, the ODO read 1 mile.

 

Hey russiankid can you speak the language? I can

 

Yes I can, fluent.

 

you'll love the weather techs, i absolutely love mine, good price too i think i paid 55 for mine

 

Ya especially for the rainy weather in vancouver

 

congrats, and welcome to the TC2 family. You should turbo it and drive the hell out of it LOL

 

Although that would be awsome, I would probably wait until my warranty expired if I did it at all.
