#1804 of 2033 Looking for a commuter car.... by paisan Apr 11, 2007 (3:49 am)
Comparing right now: Tc Tiberon Impreza ???   What are the real world milage figures on the Tc? How is the handling in the rain? Snow? etc? Thanks for the input.   -mike Replies to this message: andeet (Apr 11, 2007 6:34 am) claires (Apr 11, 2007 9:28 pm) msolomon74 (Dec 11, 2007 2:42 pm) mackabee (Dec 11, 2007 3:10 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Apr 11, 2007 3:49 am) Driving in snow is okay when you take it slow. Some people stated to put weight in the truck and I think I may want to test it out today due to a snow storm. Raining is okay but driving with stock tires "Yokohama;" sometimes you slide very easily. I personally will replace those tires with extreme summer tires sometime later this spring and will get 15 or 16 inch winter tires.   My current gas mileage average 28 mpg (Combined.) I increase mileage due to having Cold Air Intake. At the pump if prices are 2.89; I pay 30.00 bucks (tapping off to next dollar) at quarter of tank.   Handling is unbelievable for the car is price...I can make “35 mph” sharp turn at 45 mph quite well and doesn’t slide.   Acceleration is good; even better with CAI. I am safely able to out-speed semi truck when getting on the interstate if he/she can't lane change into middle lane. I almost got into serious (Could of died) accident due to this situation while owning the xA...that is why I sold it.   I traded ‘06 Scion xA with negative equity so I can have more power, more style, and still have the name. I feel it was the best choice I made in a long run.

#1807 of 2033 Interested in the Tc by bottgers Apr 27, 2007 (12:15 pm)
I currently have a Corolla which my daughter will get when she turns 16. I've been thinking about something a little sportier for it's replacement, and I love the looks of the Tc. However, I've heard some things about it that has me concerned and maybe you can clear them up for me.   I've heard 2007 will be the last year for the Tc. Is this true?   I've also read quite a few complaints for things like rattley interiors, leaky moon roofs, poor shifting manual trannies, thin paint, and several other things that would fall under poor quality control...which is something I'm not accustomed to hearing about from Toyotas. Normally, Toyotas are well built vehicles. I know my Corolla is. Were these problems mainly restricted to the first model year? I know a lot of times new models tend to have a lot of bugs, but they usually get worked out by the second or third model year. Is this the case with the Tc, or have the problems been so few and far between that they shouldn't even be a concern? While I like to looks, I also want a car that's well built (like my Corolla).

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 27, 2007 12:15 pm) Paint is issue; chips easy when tailgating. If you don't tailgate it wouldn't be a issue.   My tC has four rattles; one under steering wheel caused by fog light wires that were too long for the switch. I keep fixing it but it always get loose. Second; is in the trunk area. I think it's caused by having too much stuff in the trunk and something is rubbing against the plastic molding when I go over bumps. Third; is in the windshield area caused by having radar detector rub against it. Cause my old xA had the same rattle in the same spot. Fourth; is near my rear view mirror and that's caused by hanging too much stuff on it like Scion key chain for show and Chicago Cubs sun visor.   I have automatic and no problems there. No leaks in the roof but I always play safe and have the curtain close during snow & rain storms and car washes.   Personally; just keep it in good shape and it will stay in good shape. I'm starting to notice that statement is true with my tC.   I think '08 is the last year cause they are changing the headlight design.
#1809 of 2033 What does... by bottgers Apr 28, 2007 (12:49 pm)
...changing the headlight design have to do with the model being discontinued? Replies to this message: andeet (Apr 28, 2007 6:41 pm)

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 28, 2007 12:49 pm) Toyota makes changes to each Scion model each year to make them different and fresh. Due to high selling numbers with the tC; they are limiting changes to '08 and the only major change is the headlights. And thinking about the headlight change made me realize that '08's are the last year for the first generation tC.
#1811 of 2033 oh... by bottgers Apr 29, 2007 (1:41 pm)
...so it'll be redesigned in '09, not discontinued? Replies to this message: andeet (May 01, 2007 1:59 am) autoboy16 (May 01, 2007 1:47 pm)
#1812 of 2033 tires by podunk503 Apr 30, 2007 (10:48 am)
shopping for a new '07 tc and yesterday we visited a local dealer. i noticed between the 5 or 6 cars there, they had two different kinds of tires. what's with this? is one better than the other? since the dealer does not have the color i want and one tire is better than the other can i also request the better tire? thank you.
