Default Replacement RS 8.0

My 2011 Scion tC Super White was a victim of a reckless 1996 honda accord who rear ended it going 50 mph..... (the tC was a trooper, glad he clipped my right rear bumper) after waiting on insurance and body shops $1,700 later I got looking into new cars and stumbled upon my 3rd scion! 2013 Scion tC RS 8.0 202/2000 1 mile on it when I bought it.... fresh from the factory.

The car still is under 300 miles so I have not really used the paddle shifters that much but when you tap the left (I think it shifts down one gear from whatever gear its in).... when using them its like the sequential shifting mode, It allows you to hold onto gears a little longer then the trans would in normal "D" but I love this automatic trans my 2011 tC was manual and so far no regrets.


* I really like the changes to the exterior, Five axis Aero Kit, RS 8.0 spoiler, TRD center exhaust. This car gets a lot of attention where ever I have driven so far!

yesterday driving home, I saw a bunch of kids playing in a yard stop playing and watch me drive by and I heard them say "thats a cool car!" LOL this red is different... needs to be seen in person... anyone who has absolutely red knows what I mean....

I don't have access. The car was worth more than the damage so they did not total the car, the body shop replaced the rear bumper etc once it was fixed I then traded it in. Sorry
