#31 of 599 1 Week, No complaints by carguy79 Aug 05, 2004 (9:55 am)
I have had my 5 speed tC for a week now. I too have the revs between shifts, nut I am not concerned, my 98 Nissan 200sx did the same thing and the clutch is still working perfectly at 98000 miles. I have heard an interior noise especially when car has been sitting and I have to back out of my driveway into the street. Sounds like some flexing to me. It is a great handling car, second to none in its category Replies to this message: dulanic (Aug 17, 2004 2:35 am)

did you drive a 200sx se-r? how does the handling of the tc compare if so? i know the 200sx se-r was not as hard core as the original se-r but it was still supposed to handle pretty well. also, does the tc seem any faster? Replies to this message: carguy79 (Aug 10, 2004 9:05 am)
#33 of 599 emergency brake by tahlequah Aug 06, 2004 (2:57 pm)
stickguy - I'm not having the same experience with my hand brake that you described. It seems of normal operation to me.

i have noticed you have to pull the brake almost all the way up on my tc also. Replies to this message: tahlequah (Aug 07, 2004 3:19 pm)

Replying to: dat2 (Aug 06, 2004 8:16 pm) hmmmmmm are ya'll parking on an incline? Maybe that's why I haven't noticed anything unusual - the parking lots where I land are flat. Haven't had an incline experience yet.
#36 of 599 Tips on buying a tC by mougenot Aug 07, 2004 (6:36 pm)
Is it true that the buying process of a Scion is the same as buying a Saturn? No room for bargain? Replies to this message: tahlequah (Aug 08, 2004 7:47 am) luvmytc (Aug 22, 2004 9:01 pm)

Replying to: mougenot (Aug 07, 2004 6:36 pm) It's true. But, you're only paying $500-700 above invoice (not much of a mark-up!). It seems that most dealers are giving great trade-in rates. That seems to be softening the blow of "no haggle" pricing for some. I know I got well above my book value when I traded.   However, for those folks who apparently relish a good round of haggling, they seem quite disappointed that Scion offers a great bargain on a top quality car at a cheap, cheap, cheap price. But you can't please everyone, now can you? I am not one of those people so I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the "no-haggle" approach.   Understand also that the accessories are overpriced, or so it seems to many (myself included). Options appear to be Scion's best bet for profit. Be aware, though, doc fees in some parts of the country seem suspect - unusually high.

Replying to: dat2 (Aug 05, 2004 7:41 pm) no my 200sx was not a se-r. The tC handles alot better, I expect that the vehicle is faster than my 200sx even though I have not gotten too hard on it since it doesn't have many miles on it

Replying to: carguy79 (Aug 05, 2004 9:55 am) For the noise you hear, if it is a popping/snapping noise, it's a common problem. You may also notice it taking corners especially uphill and uneven surfaces when the car flexes. There will be a service bulletin put out sometime soon for it, there are a few bolts in the roof that are backing out. It's a simple fix, and Im taking mine in to be fixed. All they have to do is torque down 2 bolts and they have been using Lock-tite to prevent them from backing out.

that's the noise. Someone else posted about tightening some screws, which sounds logical.   If you get it done, please post details and TSB # if there is one.
