Congratulations! You're going to love this car. They should have given you a firm price on the mirror including installation. Go to www.scion.com and then to build your Scion and look at the pricing for the tC accessories. I wouldn't recommend an outside source to do this. When the tC first came out there was an issue with installing this type of mirror on cars with the side curtain airbags. Since the bags are now standard I believe the issue was corrected. Doing an outside install and something going wrong may void your Scion warranty.

Hi everyone,
I'm driving Acura RSX'03 base auto, with 110K miles on it already. Test-drove tC'08 base auto. Impressions, in comparison to RSX:
- low-end torque is there for sure;
- at higher RPM, engine felt like losing steam a bit;
- steering felt too light, with uncertain on-center feel;
- suspension felt softy, so handling wasn't really good.
 
I'm curious, what Scion/TRD mods would have improved steering and, most important, "stiffen up" suspension and improve handling.
thanks in advance - vickat

Stability/traction control standard for the '08 tC? by aladdinsane

According to the September issue of Motor Trend, the tC will now have Stability/traction control for '08. Anyone know if this is true? Sometimes MT can be off the mark with new specs.
 
Thanx...

They are misinformed. It only has abs, not vsc/trac and not an option. The new xB has standard vsc/trac just like the old one did.

Mack...
 
Thanx for the reply...
 
I knew it! They're also off about vsc/trac on other models too in this particular September issue concerning 2008 vehicles with what's new to expect.
 
Oh well...maybe it's wishful thinking on their part.
 
Bummer-
 
Peace!<-AladdinSane--

Engine "Missing" by jmeiners

I was reading in the "Problems & Solutions" section about a missing problem at highway speeds. Someone also posed to possibility of a "lean surge". I am experiencing the same thing but it is really bad and in every gear. I have had the regional Toyota tech look at the car and he said it was a change in the feedback for the fuel system that happens around 15% throttle, and that there was nothing that could be done at this time. There needs to be an ECU program change. Does anyone know if there are any ECU updates for the 2005 Tc? Thanks.

How many miles do you have on your 05? My son has one with about 53k miles. I will ask him if he's experiencing the same thing.

I have 26k on my car. When the feedback changes the engine goes really lean thus the loss in power (like dropping an anchor). It wouldn't be bad if it changed and stayed there, but I tend to want to drive right at the switch and it comes and goes very rapidly.
