  • Sheesh why are people so butthurt about this car? If you don't like it, you don't, but it's a great car. I'm even going to keep it when I get a truck a few years down the road. It's a fun daily driver and gets good gas mileage.

    As far as posers. They're all over the place in all shapes and sizes. Scion doesn't even have the largest number of them. It's the poser drivers that are crap, not the cars.

  • Come see my Scion tC 2011 !! Comment and subscribe for any new vids I'll make about my beauty!

  • I have an '06 I like it but I wish it was a '12 and manual for that matter... Maybe I'll just wait for the FR-S.

  • I would definatley love this car more if they made a v-6 version. These cars use Camry engines so the v-6 would have around 268hp. Not bad

  • I believe the upcoming FRS will take over the tC's place in this specific market.

  • @HowToDoCalculus not really. the frs will start at ~4k more and seats 2+2kids in back. the tc is cheaper, seats 4 adults, and has a more usable hatchback. and while this is a sporty car, the frs is a sports car

  • he's cute

  • Comment removed

  • sai-on or sky-on?

  • Where are all the other usual Edmunds Inside Line test numbers like quarter-mile, braking, slalom, and lateral grip? This review was mostly subjective =(

  • Toyota is just so F-up now... every single car even Scion is boring boring boring...

  • Remember that its a Toyota, so you sacrifice comfortability, handling, mpg, fun factor, and basically everything else for reliability... No thanks, Mazda here i come.

  • @joshuatree1001 I used to work at a honda dealership beside a madza dealer. I would say the Mazda mechs got much more volume. My friends mazda 3 tranny when, and anothers ball joints after 70k km? Honda? yeh right oil changes and matinence, unless the car was well off warentty. Oh but honda sucks, Toyota rules

  • @snakeeater66 what do u think about mitsubishi's? break down alot? specifically mayb a Lancer 2011?

  • 180hp 4 cylinder coupe for 20k? The economy really is going to shit......

  • LOL trucks get to 60 in around 8 seconds

  • Of course this cars gonna be boring, it's a Toyota. Let's hope their new car, the ft-80, get a better name first off, has some sort of fun factor. I know the Subaru version will be amazing, but i feel the scion version will be just that, a Toyota version.

  • who's gonna buy this if he isn't sure for the college students? some dumb buyers? i am 30 and i think it looks cool  as a corolla coupe.

  • I would rather drive a Fusion

    In fact that is what i plan on getting

  • Seriously Edmunds the tC best in class for under 20k.

  • this car is fucking ugly as shit, and why the FUCK is it front wheel drive when all the "scion drift cars" are rwd.

  • the scion tc is such a ricer. this is coming from a huge subie fan, not some fag that thinks every import is a ricer. but this car definitely is

  • lmffaoo 8 seconds 0-60 my 11 year old v6 mustang goes faster then that

  • i can get my 2012 scion up to 60 in about 4 that dudes a pussy

  • @1129brt i got a 2012 tC to haha hes just a joke

  • I. Want. This. Car.

  • 8 second 0-60 OMFG LOL.. my 14 year old trans am cost me 4k and is heavily modded with a pearl white paint to top it off. $20 sloth car vs $4k power.. easy choice

  • tc = Totally Chick!

  • if scion wants kids to buy there cars, especially guys, make it RWD, 6 cylinders and mabey a manual gearbox

  • @TheBakerSkater1996 That would be a 350z. How many 350/370z's have you ever seen cost the same as a tC?

  • @rhythmnsmoke no, but thats what they need the tc to be. its to safe.

  • @TheBakerSkater1996 That's what the FR-S is going to do, minus 2 cly.

  • Piece of shit car. Takes corners like a motorized wheelchair!

  • civic si 07

    better looks (;

  • a daihatsu by any other name...

  • At 0:56 I thought he said "But it does get 2 miles per gallon.. so that's a plus." I was like wtf?! Haha

  • Better than Civic

  • The manual get to 60 in 6.5.

  • i just got this car yesterday same color its great car for us young people im 17 and it drives great has good stereo to i recommend this to anyone

  • u call this full review? 2 mins you useless idiot

  • @brian

    It's not a fucking corolla he's downplaying it saying it's only a bit faster the before I'm just saying I want to hear the stick

    Numbers cause if there target age group is 18 to 30 or w e it is alot of them are gonna want the Stick...if your gunna get a TC automatic you might as well get the corolla or 4 banger camry

  • Make it a rear wheel drive and more horspower then we will be talking, anyone agree?

  • @itzmailtime thats why the ft-86 is coming out.....around 260hp and rear wheel drive....

  • @oaeproductions people say the new scion wont be that much more expensive but watch it hit 30,000

  • @toyota420xp imo...its still worthh it lol....at least for me.....its toyota>everything else...

  • @itzmailtime that would add another 2000-4000 dollars.......

  • @itzmailtime not everyone needs a rearwheel drive. Toyota doesnt care about racing, they want racing wannabees. An average driver from home to school or home to work and back that wants a "cool" stylish car.

  • @itzmailtime

    You pretty much just described their Scion FRS coming next year.

  • @ir193 yup ft86 200hp rwd

  • @itzmailtime for a small fee of 4,000...you can buy a turbo system with the fuel management system (aem) taking your Scion TC to a road eating 330WHP.

  • @ducati848e It won't be wheel horspower. That a 250 horspower gain on the engine. It'll be a lot more then 4 Grand. Give me a link.

  • @MIA7Xthies youtube the scion tc2 turbo. its by Descendent. The dyno shows it at 330.

  • @ducati848e I will agree with that, but right from Toyota it's shit. Scion COULD make fun cars, but i'm sorry, Since Toyota stopped the Supra, they haven't created one fun car. Yes the LFA is sweet, but that's Lexus, they made that car for themselves, not for toyota.

  • @MIA7Xthies on the contrary..Scion's concept car (the FR-S) is no longer a concept. This car will blow all the Toyota products away. Also, Toyota has (had?) the MR2 Spyder. I don't know if you have ever driven one of them, but they are a lot of fun!

  • @ducati848e exactly HAD* But it seems now that they don't have any, and i'll wait and see how the FR-S performs when it is on sale.

  • @MIA7Xthies It is goping to be a great performance car. Greddy already has stuff out for it, but right from the manufacturer it has a Subaru Boxer style engine. It won't keep up with the STI, but with after market parts, it will be a great performer.

  • @ducati848e Just wish Toyota could come up with something that doesn't need aftermarket to be a decent car.

  • @itzmailtime I own a 2012 version and I really would like to see is RWD

  • @itzmailtime FR-S is making that dream come true.

  • @itzmailtime scion fr-s

  • this guy is a fucking moron

  • Picked one for my wife. It's a sweet ride. Especially with the Toyota Trd 20 inch wheels that were an option. Plus it definitely looks sexier wit the rear spoiler and tinted windows

  • Looks like a two door Corolla

  • @heroheroic

    Scion is a branch of Toyota

  • another chick car... even a V6 mustang will run donuts around this thing....

  • 0-60 @ 8 secs?...

    My parent's Accord straight4 does 0-60 in 8 secs....

  • Diesel sound? I test drove it and it sounded like any other 4-cyl car in the market...

  • He's like trying to downplay it I think they should have made it a rwd car

  • This guy is an idiot first of Thats an automatic Hense the 0-60 in 8 sec the manual will do it in 6 and why get a sporty coupe automatic

  • @Turner9090 how is this guy an idiot? so stating that the new AUTOMATIC 2011 TC will his 0-60mpg in 8s makes him an idiot? its seem likes youre idiot for thinking that the guy in the vid bought the 2011 TC...this channel is for car review just like"car n driver"

  • This is the best selling car among gen Y'ers.

  • they should just discontinue the tc line completely since there getting nowhere with it

  • Comment removed

  • Toyota kinda = Meh*

  • True scion or civic won't attract younger generations if they keep making their horse powers around 200, and then make the style worse, I wish they would step it up on the horsepower and make a civic or scion tc with like 230 hp or 250 or something instead of slowly growing horsepower by like 5 or 10 ,

  • @meelustrike Agreed!

  • @thetruth257 lol ok thanks because my parents want me to sell my supra for this trd scion =/

  • I hope everyone knows how slow 8 seconds for a 0-60 is. My friends camel has a faster Quarter Miles time than this shit.

  • @llPurpleHazell my currant civic has 115hp and has 98,000 miles on it and it runs 8.9 sec 0-60, it really is pathetic for a car with 180hp to take that long to hit 60!

  • @llPurpleHazell What car do you prefer then that costs under 20k new?

    And how the fuck can this be shit? Its not always about power and 0-60 times little boy.

  • @tmtm325 Scion tC = Hot girl without boobs

  • @llPurpleHazell the manual is far faster. I have one (SRI, headers, exhaust)

  • my integra ls gets to 60 in 7 seconds with 140 horses lol........

  • @jezzetv Go race a TC on the highway at 60mph in top gear floor it. No downshiftin allowed. The TC will leave you in the dust. You know the real world driving conditions that this engine will accel at. 0-60 is pretty meaningless in everyday driving. Roll on performance has meaning.

  • @lesmcluffalot I dont get what your saying here? Why would i leave the car in top gear if im trying to race a tc? if you leave a tc in top gear and floor it, its not gonna leave anything in the dust. What kinda decent driver keeps the car in top gear for good over taking power. All i was trying to say was that the car is too heavy

  • @llPurpleHazell its a drift car not a race car lol.

  • @llPurpleHazell realy not that slow in this segment

  • I want ittttttt

  • your a loser! lol

  • would trading my 87 supra for this be a bad idea? 

  • Which provides better sporting performance? This or the Kia Forte Koup SX?

  • i have an 09 corolla. how does the tc's ride comfort and interior noise compare to a corolla and keep in mind i drive on a lot of dirt roads

  • @toyota420xp We have a '10 Corolla and a '11 tC. The tC definitely accelerates faster. Louder engine. Corolla handles better. Turn radius is smaller and I feel like I can maneuver it a lot more easily than the tC. Interior noise on both is comparable. Interior space is much better in the tC. I'm a pretty big guy - 6"2, 250, and I'm comfortable in the back of the tC with the chair back all the way. Corolla isn't even close. For the price I don't see why people are bashing the tC like they are.

  • @nano4288 i dont understand how you can say the corolla handles better if so you are the only one in the world to make that assertion being that the corolla is noted for being a "poor" handling car. how is a rear beam ever going to beat a double wishbone suspension. i know for a fact that even a camry handles better than a corolla

  • Respond to this video... does 1.8 feet in a turning radius matter that much and as far as width well the scion is about .an inch wider but 6 inches shorter

  • @toyota420xp Well I don't know the numbers or measurements but I can certainly maneuver the Corolla a lot more easily in terms of things like parking, making u-turns etc.

  • 8 seconds to 60, but is it a manual?....and are YOU driving it?

  • BAD ASS CAR! CAN'T WAIT TO PICK UP MINE ON MONDAY!!!

  • Nice car. Just a bit slower then a Civic 2012 with the VSA off. Re-sale is crap though, and with 180hp...you would think it would be a much quicker car. All this said, it's a nice little car, with a nice little price.

  • I raced one today, he a big the jump on me, I caught him and passed him. He gave me a shit eating grin, I was driving a LT1 firebird 6spd.

  • shit's ugly. did they hire a chevy designer?

  • I traded my 2007 tC on the new 2011 tC last October. I've been averaging 29/36 mpg and even tho I'm 57, I DON'T drive like grandpa!

  • @46619TAB Grandpa, what are you doing on youtube?

  • @cubsfan01991 The nursing home staff allowed me to stay up late.

  • I'm picking mine up tomorrow morning, this car is an awesome value, way cooler than all the cookie cutter Hondas and the goofy looking Mazda with the smiling front end. I got the 6 speed manual in the deep blue.

  • @fvw88 good drive that manual very well

  • looks sooo much better with the spoiler and fog lights

  • Well im Buying one soon and it runs better than my Integra GS-R ^^

  • If you have no like for the car; why watch & who wants to pay all that damn cash just to get an Si when you can spend less & get more car with a more aggressive style?

  • It's a good attention getter with an interior that kills Civic.

  • not the si

  • this guy is good at speaking tho. Pretty smooth and professional.

  • killed the back

  • I just bought this baby in Mica metalic.. it's super nice. I got it with all the TRD gear except the rims (18's look great) and the brakes! I don't regret it at all!

  • one word... slow

  • This car will forever live in the shadow of the original's former glory.

  • Shame that the ft 86 (given a new name under scion) will have the scion badge. That car does not deserve to be with a bunch of "eh" and "blah" cars.

  • this car has loads of potential

  • i used to think this is cool and shit but the new honda coupe is killer!

  • great car...for a girl

  • @WW2fighter23 Let me guess... beetle kinda guy?

  • @NiteX2 close its a Volkswagen. GLI kinda guy. it would shit on this car

  • Anything above $13,500 is too expensive for a high school graduate. However its worth the money if the high school graduate is going to college to study something meaningful of their choice.

  • @tnguyen318 err... that makes very little sense

  • this car is fucking slow lol

  • Please Do a full test of the tC with the TRD package

  • VERY little info about the car but one thing i like about this video...they dont use a russian or german guy to be the host. Thats great. That way I understand 100% what he's saying.

  • These videos and pictures do not do the tC justice. I thought that the car was okay looking but as soon as i saw it in person.... it was sexy.

  • The sound is due to the upgraded exhaust tip which is now standard. Also, the sound is meant to enhance the driving experience and give you more of a rugged feeling. Gotta say I love this tC ten times more than the previous generation... and if you really want to be impressed... try driving one with a TRD supercharger. :-D

  • correction* it has a oversized celica gt motor(vvti) ...wow thats even lamer then i thought

  • its a copy of the celica gts.. they just swapped the guts..dual wishbone suspension 6spd trans, vvtli... everything in the car is copy of a gts but tc is big bulky and not aerodynamic at at all...buy a gts put 500 pounds in the trunk and then tape something big and flat to your grill to ruin yur aero= scion tc...everything scion makes is ugly and for highschool kids and people with no taste or knowledge of cars... bring the GT-S and GT-four back! and stop making girly cars toyota!

  • @antigovisterrorism Wth are you taking about everyone who is anyone who knows anything about cars knows that the celica was the biggest peice of sh*t that toyota has ever rolled out of its doors. There is a reason why toyota stopped making those.... and thank god they realized it before it was too late...

  • That is a beautiful car. It looks a lot different from the older tC. Its got a 2.5 liter now. That is a sharp car, aimed toward the BMW 3-series crowd, but at half the price. Very nice. The 16 year old boy that is speaking about the car, knows very little about cars. He is also very feminine, even for an american. I think he knows more about Barbie-Dolls and designers shoes than automobiles. How many times did the twink say "cool"?

  • @Tophairybutt

    aimed at the 3-series crowd?!

  • this car is a piece of japanese shit.

  • @thesnotfIakes like anything american (around the same price) can come remotely close....

  • @BuccaneerZac too funny.. the ford fusion is hands down by far a better piece of shit.

  • @thesnotfIakes LOL i like how you put that BUT the ford fusion is MORE expensive in its base model AND has a smaller engine with no moonroof....

  • @BuccaneerZac where did i type the word "but"? I win. bye. have a nice day.

  • @thesnotfIakes no no no i think you misunderstood me i ment that i like how you put that (as in your last comment) anyways my assurtion of the ford fusion still stands.

  • Full test, with very vague review.

  • Terrible car review. This guy barely highlighted any of the major selling points. They way it looks is opinion, but the only reason I looked at a tC is because they made it more aggressive looking and not a girly as the first gen. tC.

  • I hate this car 05-10 is better.

  • this is one of the ugliest cars ive ever seen.

  • @niceprince LOL if you think this is ugly you should have seen the top 10 list of the ugliest cars around... tC wasnt on there....

  • HELL YESS ITS ATRACTIVE!! DAAAANNNMMM SEXYYY

  • It looks like the new honda accords. Way to go toyota..

    -_____-

  • i love that sound..you spaz..

  • "diesel sound isn't that pleasant" ...........is this guy american?

  • that's going in my top 100 worst car reviews...

  • edxjsghATOvbkj/cljJ

    OH SORRY THAT WAS FROM WHIPPING JIZZ OFF THE KEYBOARD>> HAHA

  • @optomist55 you must really like this car

  • When in manual mode of the automatic transmission, does the HUD show which gear your in?

  • @tonytsui96 yepp and the automatic is 6 speed too (y)

  • i <3 it!

  • wow young buyers?? here in costa rica cars are soooo expensive that car costs 40k... here that car is for a 35yr old with a good salary... sad.

  • looks cheap and cheesy, and the car is ultra slow for a so-called sports coupe.

    Better and more faster choices out there for the money folks.

    Try a Civic si, or the New Nissan Juke...both those cars will smoke this Scion quite easily.

  • @tom11zz884 too bad they look like shit compared to the tc

  • @MrEightyGig The good looks part are in the eye of the beholder, and the Scion isn't exactly a looker either.

  • This car should have a logitudinal engine, a rear wheel drive set up with transaxle.

  • @Fussinated I agree. I'm going to pick mine up today and I soooooo wish it was RWD!

  • @ghostKurt congratulations and good luck with it. Drive safe without losing the fun aspect of the car.

  • sounds like a ricer.

  • @yynotnnh Blah!!!! Mazdaspeed 3 please

  • @Viseual1 What kinda price did you pay?? Were yo able to negotiate and get it at invoice??

  • i want this car !!!!!

  • it had me with the bigger engine and more HP but all in all i think im better off with my '07 tC

  • I saw one of these on the freeway and it looked badass. But now that I look at it more its not all that great.

  • I cringed when I saw the engine. It looks like a solid block of aluminum with exposed wires everywhere. My Aveo's engine looks better than that, and it's a $10,000 car. What happened, Scion ?

  • looks stupid honda civics look better and better mileage

  • 8 sec is not faster than the old tc, it's actually slower because of the 6 speed. My tc with injen intake and srs exhaust run 0-60 in 6.7 second! Either Insideline driver can't drive or the new tc is just damn slow.
