no I don't know the answer to that question but I'd like to find out.   Scion Spec tC's are a great deal if they're actually available to dealers to sell for $15,000 (manual tranny).
#1794 of 2033 IN DASH GPS SYSTEM FOR SCION TC by bebe2630 Feb 10, 2007 (7:46 pm)
Hi, Im inlove with the Scion TC and before I buy the car I have some questions in my mind. Fisrtly, why the other Scion's bring the red neon lights and the TC does not, and can I put the red neon lights if I want them.(I like the Cherry Black color) Secondly, I want to put an indash Pioneer GPS system, I know it fits perfectly, but im wondering if I can still use the controls on the steering wheel or once I put the Navigation System it will stop working. Thirdly, between the new Nissan Sentra and the Scion Tc which one is better. I would love if at least One of my questions could be answer.   Gley

Replying to: mss (Jan 04, 2007 1:00 pm) This happened to me yesterday morning! I'm so frustrated with the dealership... so willing paint a pretty picture when you buy the car, once it's off the lot, they want nothing to do with you. Thank you for you information, this has helped. I didn't know what to do. Replies to this message: mss (Feb 19, 2007 10:49 am) mss (Feb 19, 2007 11:10 am)

Replying to: naynay48 (Feb 14, 2007 9:52 am) Sorry to hear that, I can feel for you! I've had mine back for about a month now but still hear a lot of noises from the roof that make me nervous. At this point, I won't put my 3 year old daughter in the back seat until I have a window laminate installed on the roof panels to keep glass from entering the car in the event this ever happens again (which I think will). Sad part is I just looked at the NTHSA website this morning to see if any new complaints have been opened and sure enough another 2 incidents have occur since mine. Have you reported yours?   Curious about your failure, was it a half moon shaped hole, centered over the car and starting from the front?">   I just can't see how the NHSTA and Toyota feel that the failure rate of the moonroof is consistent with other vehicles and keep blaming it on road debris.

Replying to: naynay48 (Feb 14, 2007 9:52 am) Just went back and counted the moonroof failures reported to the NTHSA website in the last few years for this car and here's the numbers. (Excludes deflector failures which had a recall).   2005 tC's 12 Incidents reported   2006 tC's 11 Incidents reported   No incidents have been reported on 07 tC's as of yet. Keep in mind these are only reported cases to the government site, who knows how many other occured and haven't been report here.   The fact that irk's me is the Toyota had a recall on the Wind Deflector with far fewer complaints, but this issue is chalked up to "Failure consistent with other vehicles". Now how many "other" vehicle's roof's are made entirely of glass? I've owned a moonroof in every one of my car's for the last 25 years and have never had an issue (or heard of one) up until this car.
#1798 of 2033 Shifting in my 5 speed 07 tc by msu_tc Feb 19, 2007 (12:23 pm)
This is more of a general question but:   Im new to manual in general, and I have only had my 07 scion tc for 2 days now.   I want to know if its better to fully let the clutch out when going from first to 2nd or since i notice that the clutch is usually 3/4 the way out and its already time to switch to 2nd should i just push the clutch back and shift?   Obviously, my main concern is my clutch life and since I have already had 2 incidents where i missed 4th and down shifted into 2nd I am trying to 100% make sure during the break in period i dont make any further mistakes.   Thanks Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Feb 21, 2007 5:09 am)

Replying to: msu_tc (Feb 19, 2007 12:23 pm) Congratulations on the TC.   Yes, it is better to get fully off the clutch ASAP. What RPM are you shifting to 2nd? I think you are riding the clutch a little because you are a newbie to stick, but as long as you know this and are trying to improve, your clutch will be OK. The mis-shift into 2nd instead of 4th can be solved by just pulling straight back from third. Do this shift with just a few fingers (don't wrap your hand around the shifter) Realize that when in neutral, there are springs that move the lever into the 3rd/4th line, so just push straight back or forward. Just make sure that you never mis-shift into 2 when going from 5 to 4, because that could be a major problem $$$. Is there anyone you know that can ride with you for a while to help and make sure you are using the clutch properly?

I Actually have already greatly improved my driving skills with the manual trans. I Rode the clutch on my first day but found out that night it was not good and to always go into neutral even at lights etc which I now do. I also haven't had any troubles shifting into 4th from 3rd but I do not totally feel comfortable pulling straight down as you suggest. Actually, i think both the times i down shifted it was a result of just that, pulling down and the shifter slid into 2nd. Now i make sure i give it a slight nudge to the right(Not much, but reverse is so far to the right its impossible to "accidentally" shift into it).   I even do well on my drive way which is pretty steep, and i am able to use my e-break to adjust and re-park if necessary. I will be needing that skill in a few wks when i visit San Fran.    I am shifting into 2nd between 2-3k rpms... although i prefer to shift right around 2500 inless im in a hurry.

Did anyone happen to see what they did to the 08tC? I remember seeing that they added projector style headlamps among other things.   Edmunds has an article... Its confusing to find because they grouped it with the xB. I FOUND IT!!   Heres the tC. Its toward the bottom.   If you look at the pictures, don't worry. You're not getting old. They ARE blurry. -Cj Replies to this message: autoboy16 (Feb 25, 2007 5:39 am)

Replying to: autoboy16 (Feb 25, 2007 5:26 am) I like the headlamps. I'd be nice if when they lit up, it would be bmw style.   Also, on cardomain, I saw one guy modded his tC so that the "Brow" was a turning indicator/ signal light. It was very cool.   Its been a while since I saw it but if I remember correctly, He got them from crystalclearlenses.com or something.   My point is that Toyota should make it standard on the tC. It looks SUPER EXTRA ULTRA GREAT!   -Cj
