#469 of 599 Re: Scion tC: Problems & Solutions. [sighon6] by aeroluvr Sep 26, 2005 (2:06 am)
Replying to: sighon6 (Sep 25, 2005 10:45 am) After reading again all of the 2006 issues...for now...I'm keeping my 100% TROUBLE FREE, NOISE FREE, never had ONE problem Nissan 1993 SE Hatchback for now. It is a very similar auto in power and design to the Scion, is almost 13 years old and has NEVER had to go to the dealer for a "problem". I still get offers on the spot to buy it for $6K-8K+ cash! Pretty good for a 13 year old car. I had TWO of them, same age and sold the first one with almost 90K miles on it back in 1999 for $9K.   The models I bought had all possible options and has been an incredibly reliable and well performing car with no weird noises...ever. It has a moon/sun roof that has never made a peep. Same goes for the hatch area. I have waited over a DECADE to find/see a comparable car be made...I thought Scion might be it but I guess not.   Will keep reading though and hope for the best. It's not just Scion, seems ALL new cars are cr*p quality these days...and with Scion since it is so cheap, I think the manufacturing issues show where that money savings came from...NOW I see why Toyota went with a separate line name...to protect Toyata rep in case things didn't work out so good LOL.   I still think it has the potential to be a GREAT car but right now there are far too many design flaws and manufacturing problems not yet resolved. Maybe 2007.

Replying to: jayjay3 (Sep 26, 2005 6:02 pm) jayjay3- the tC handles great in the snow, it also depends on the tires you have on there.. i had pirelli pzero nero's (stock size) and they were fine in up to about 3-4" of snow.. after that i'd suggest snow tires.. but the car as a whole (since some cars aren't good in snow) i didn't feel scared at all.. abs did come on once, but i was on solid ice, and the abs did a great job.. didn't lose control..
#473 of 599 Tire advice by fightingamish Sep 28, 2005 (10:00 am)
I posted a message on one of the other boards and didn't get a response. Maybe this is a better board for the question. I'm about to buy a new 2006 tC and it looks like some come with Yokohama tires and others come with Bridgestones. If I have a choice, is there one brand I should insist the car has over the other? How are the tires (whether Bridgestone or Yokohama) that the factory/delaer installs? Are they decent (I want something very grippy for aggressive cornering but also good traction for heavy TX rain!) or do I need to plan on buying something better once I take delivery of the car?   All tire help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Suggest you find out the exact model numbers of each, and then go to www.TireRack.com and check the reviews.
#475 of 599 buzzer question by zhangtao9703 Oct 12, 2005 (12:29 pm)
Hi,    Is it true there is no buzzer working with the security on Scion tC?    I have security installed, but I don't hear any sound when I lock or unlock my tC.    Thanks a lot for any reply.

Replying to: fightingamish (Sep 28, 2005 10:00 am) I have been looking at the tC to purchase. I have reviewed the Bridgestone RE92 tires that come standard on the tC via tirerack.com. Not too many people had anything good to say about this tire. Some said it is the worst tire and is very scary in the rain and/or snow. A few said it was ok for an OE tire.   If I were to purchase a tC, I would ask the dealer/factory to install either the Yokohama or the Goodyear Eagle which I have read have come standard on some tC's...or I would not buy the car.   I'm curious, did you buy the tC? If so, how are the tires doing? Replies to this message: mark19 (Oct 17, 2005 1:12 pm) keke1 (Oct 20, 2005 1:38 pm)
#477 of 599 RE92s by stickguy Oct 17, 2005 (9:57 am)
I have them on my car, just turned 10K. No real problems or complaints, even in the wet. Seem to be wearing pretty well, but the winter snow will be a good test (with any luck we won't have any this year).

Replying to: keke1 (Oct 17, 2005 9:54 am) I tried the RE92's when i got my tC.. and no i didn't care for them. Braking distances were longer, and handling seemed kind of numb to me. I didn't chance driving in the rain as i replaced them with Pirelli Pzero Nero (stock size) as a lot of tC owners have. Much better tire (ride, handling, braking distances shorter) but a lot of us have had balancing trouble with the Pirelli pzero nero... I might not get this one again.. Lots of trouble to balance The other tire to look at would be Yokohama and Toyo in the stock size of 215/45-17.. Haven't heard of any trouble with balancing and have heard they are good tires too.. Depends on what you want to do, lots of choices out there! But a lot better choices than the RE92's.. they were bad when introduced on the 94 Integra and they are still bad today.. in my opinon Replies to this message: keke1 (Oct 20, 2005 1:38 pm)
