Is the lack of a rear wiper a real problem for tC owners? Does anyone know if the 2007 models will have them?

nope its not a real problem at all not having the rear wiper. But the tc will never come with a rear wiper, toyota won't be re-designing it like that..

I am thinking about a Scion TC or Mazda 3 for my daughter. I love the idea of buying a Toyota(own a Lexus), however, I continue to see people posting issues with the rattle(back hatch I assume). I am amazed after over 2 years Toyota hasn't fixed this. Do people agree this is a problem, It looks like It still is. Thanks

the 06's made this year and the 07's were fine, looks like toyota finally caught the hatch rattle. Yes you're right the first year production, which was 05 did have a lot of rattles which were taken care of later in 06. The people complaining if they have an 06 are EARLY 06 models which is pretty much the same parts as 05 anyway.. later in the 06 production run, the rattles disappeared. Toyota finally caught up with it.. You should test drive an 07 and see for yourself if the rattles are gone.. that will show it to yourself
The mazda 3 has also had it's problems too, a/c units that don't work, and some other things I can't recall what it was.. the tc may have had a rattle here or there fixed with foam tape, at least the heater or a/c didn't go out like the mazda3..

Good luck with that .. . The rattles don't show up until 5K - 7K miles or so. But they are still there. The real problem it the ridiculous warranty policy of Toyota / Scion. If you ever have a problem with an “Accessory”, which is how you must equip over 90% of your Scion, you will run into the most bizarre warranty issue I ever saw. After complaining to Scion Corp about it I got the following official response. -- "Dealerships are independently owned franchises who will warrant Scion supplied accessories that become necessary due to a manufacturers defect. However, they are not required to warrant another dealerships work. If you are experiencing concerns on your dealership installed alarm, I would recommend taking your vehicle to the dealership where you had the alarm installed.. ." Unlike a Toyota where you get factory options delivered with your new car, Scion makes you have a lame dealer install them. Then you can end up arguing with the dealer service manager about who did what if you have another dealer install any accessories. The rattle I had was caused by a bad install job by a Scion Dealer. I suggest you read the Mazda 3 brochure. It specifically stated dealer installed accessories installed at the time of delivery of your car are covered by the same 4 year warranty as the rest of the car. – Wake up Scion! – I’ve sold my Sion if you didn’t guess.

Questions about the TC

I am going to be getting a TC soon -
1. Since all the car dealers have the same price - should I buy at the closet dealer?
2. The Wheel wells seem to be a dirt colector ... has anyone had any concerns about that?
3. The Ipod offered - is it worth it?
4. The floor mats - all weather with carpet on them ... are they worth it /
5. The lip spoiler - seems to me no a clean fit plus over hangs a bit - any concerns here?
6. Does anyone have the amber light kit offered - how is that.../
sorry for all the questions - new here --thanks for your help

1. Buy from the dealer that is known for the best service.
2. All wheels have that problem, spray cleaner from auto store works.
3. My opinion on Ipod option- not worth it. Radio plays MP3 files. Rip a CD of MP3 files or use the aux jack that is located in the arm rest.
4. Floor mats are worth it, a bit expensive but quality.
5. Not keen on the lip spoiler but again personal taste.
6. Can't help you with the amber light kit.
