Hey Everyone --

I thought I would finally register to the site since I have had my Scion tC for just over a year now.. I always looked through the website but never made an account. Anyways, here my 2012 Scion tC Got it new off the showroom floor. I have a whopping 9k miles so far, but have been fun. Not many complaints.

I'm sure I will be posting more these days now that I'm a member. If anybody wants to meet up in the Bay Area (I live in Walnut Creek) just PM me.

Sweet! What do you like best about the car?

 

I actually really like the OEM navigation and backup cam. Since I am newer to CA, I tend to use the navigation a lot so I don't need to use my phone. Surprisingly, I thought it handled very well in the snow too, I drove up to Tahoe a few times.

On the other hand... I hate how my glovebox, sunroof, and passenger seat rattle though! I always have to turn up the stereo

 

For the glovebox - easy fix - get some adhesive tape and line the edges with standard felt. You might also want to add some sewing tacking onto the release lever.

The passenger seat could be a worn release lever that isn't properly gripping or locking into the rails. And the sunroof - well, might want a shop to check on those.
Aside from plastic warping with age or temperature variations, there shouldn't be rattles IMO.

 

Awesome thanks. I'll do the felt for the glovebox this weekend. The rest I have an appt at the dealer for getting fixed. I mean, I bought it brand new and has done it since I got it, so not sure what they can do... I searched and found out there may be a TSB for the sunroof but we will see.

 

Is that factory leather interior ? Cause i got mine And it's just black leather. And do the headrests say tC?

Well, it had the leather when I saw it on the showroom floor. I think it says katzkin on a small tag. Leather is not even an option for scions, at least in 2012, so no it isn't factory but the dealer had it installed. On the window sticker I think I paid $2k for it. I really like the perforated suede inside and leather sides and headrests. But no the headrests don't say tC on them. It also has leather side inserts in the door panels.
