This car received a lot of compliments from strangers while we are on the road, especially after we lowered the car and tinted the windows. It runs fantastic and it was built in February, which was the same month that I was born!
My wife and I were originally thinking about getting a 2005 Toyota Prius. My wife has a strong interest in hybrid vehicles but the Prius we wanted was almost $6,000 higher than our tC's final price so this time we decided to buy a tC instead of a Prius.
I personally wanted to add 18inch EMK wheels, TRD Rear Sway Bar, TRD Exhaust, and of course supercharger! But even without all these goodies, the car runs fantastic and I am very satisfied with it.
Also, I am very proud to be a Scion owner as a Japanese citizen living in the U.S. As you know, tC is not available in Japan even though the car is made over there.
The pictures below are from two weeks after we purchased it.
