Default Scion TC's??

I thought I'd see a lot more of these on the roads by now, but I've only seen a few. Do you see a lot of them in your area? Anyone test drive one?

Saw one in Black Cherry Pearl a few weeks back.
Hotness....Especially in strong sunlight.

I like the design. It's a tad heavy IMO.
But then again, I think they're going for a "luxury" feel in terms of NVH, suspension tuning and whatnot.Damn good package for teh money, though.

my friend has one. I've driven it. Very tight steering...feels great through curves. Revs up fast when going through the gears...feels powerful. Good acceleration...could be a little quicker, but still faster than my car. My friend's is black, very hot. He has a lot of options, including neon lights under the dash and in the cup holders. I have a few pics if anybody'd like to see.

Sure. The Scion website is nice enough, but I'd like to see your pics as well.

I'm not feeling the factory neons, though. :ugh:

To each his own. h:

I test drove a white TC a few weeks ago and was very disappointed. For $16k....you get what you pay for. The interior is very cheesy and bland. The dealer let me take it out on my own so I put it to a test and that sh!t failed..no torque and slow acceleration. Handling was......"okay" but nothing impressive. The perfect car for a 16-21y/o female on a budget. :down:
