Honestly what a person buys to drive is their preference and you can't really shit on someone for their taste in vehicle. If it looks nice and they enjoy it and have the money... By all means they are allowed to buy it and be happy with it. I drive a 2014 tC and love it to death. Where I'm from it actually stands out from all the Subaru's and Evo's!
Really? ..looks eye catching
I love the tC it's not a girls car like everyone says. that annoys me buy it's a anyone car to be honest I feel like anyone if u like it could drive this car it's that loveable once u own one.
At least you don't have to worry about the cops stopping you because they know that you can't get away in that thing lool
Scions are reliable cars but not my style I'm more of an evo person which I have a 2015 final Edition Evo. And had a 2015 Nissan 370Z touring sport edition got rid of my Z to get my 2017 Infiniti 3.0T red sport 400 I love my evo and my Infiniti
@@everythingtoyota6763
I normally see females Drive TC's I hardly see guys in them where I live
Uber
It would be a dream to just test drive cars for a living!!!
You will get bored 😂
@@tigergray1100 lol true
people like braden forget to realize that the tC isnt supposed to be a racecar. its a car that gets decent gas mileage and for those who want a two door car that looks above average and sounds good.
Roopinder Singh thankyou iown one and believe me im into new cars saves gas and looks luxurious not old junk that gets fixed to supposably illegally race at some isolated place nobody really sees and doesnt get paid for it lol
People like roopinder forget to realize that no one gives a shit about their opinion and that people can do whatever they want with their money
@@rickytrevino8281 truth man, I don't care that my car isn't a fast ass 500 hp death machine like an Evo or GT-R, I'm just a broke college kid who needs a nice car with good mpg and is a nice/pleasing car to look at
BTW any car can be a racecar...old to new.. doesn't really matter..
@@PopS_BangS_Tc2
Lol exactly !!!
My 58 bug can be a beast if I choose to make it a beast ....
Watching this in headphones makes me fell like I'm driving my tC to work...minus the stereo. Love the video! 👍
For all the haters.. I've owned civics and golf's, mitsubishis and ford's and they also rattle and make noises even before lots of miles are put on them. This is a Toyota and it's just as reliable as Hondas or volkswagons if not more. Don't hate on a car because of rattles and noises when all the other shit boxes do the same thing and worse. And for those that say it's slow.. There's no turbo or supercharged version from the factory and this car has put up 6.7-7.4 sec 0-60 times (manual). How is that bad for 180hp? The whole point of this car is to add to it after its purchased visually and mechanically. That's how it's even marketed by Toyota.
Samuel Sarvis I've owned a 2013 Scion tC and now a 2014 Civic Si. The Honda is light years ahead of the Scion in driving dynamics and performance. The tC also had transmission issues at 19k miles. Rear input shaft like most suffer from with the manual.
Well maybe you got a lemon but my girl has an 07 and except for rotors and pads its been flawless at 120k miles. Not even the battery has been changed. Additionally, this is in upstate NY and we use salt on the roads (8 winters). I bought a 2014 now with 20k miles and it's been absolutely flawless. I liked my Honda (06 si) but it had some problems like 3rd gear would pop out driving and the suspension was making sounds after 18 months of owning it (bought new).. if u compare a 14 Civic si (and no the reg civic doesn't compare to this car in any category except price maybe) it's 2/10s of a sec faster to 60 vs the tc and everything else including cornering (lateral g) is better in the tc. You said "light years" ahead, come on now.
There are numerous people on the 2011+ Scion tC Facebook page with the exact issue. There is also a service bulletin. And even with that some dealers were trying to get out of pulling the transmission to fix it.
Can u point me to where I could find info on that? I looked but found nothing.
There is a Toyota service bulletin for it. Go join the lame Scion owners page on Facebook. You'll have to dig through all the posts of them pretending to win drag races, though. They also have it covered on the forums and have a few videos on RUclips of the TSB. I'll never own another tC again. Slow and unreliable was a bad combo.
I wish that TOYOTA would still make Scion. They really made a huge mistake discontinuing the Scion vehicles.
Curtis Allred I think the tC and FRS should've stayed instead of just the FRS.
Curtis Allred
Toyota came out with the whole Scion line to attract young buyers but the younger buyers are not into scion anymore Toyota was losing money in sales so that's the reason why they discontinue
the Scion line.
@@andre26261095 Its really that the younger audience they were after still couldn't afford new cars
Or at least keep the TC name going
@@Jumperman12mac you got a point there bro.
Wish we could’ve gotten 2016 model, with the push button start. Love the great work and this is my dream car and I’m hopeful that I’ll achieve it soon!
I own a 2012 tC with 120k original miles, feels like the day I bought it. Solid fun Camry, probably cleaner internals than 90% of BMWs
Thanks for the video! Really debating between this and a CR-Z
Just test drove one with leather interior the other day. Its a solid ride, handled great, power is adequate (not fast but definitely not slow), even the stock exhaust had decent grunt which surprised me. Really considering a 2014 TC monogram as my next car.
I love the color on this car! That cement paint just does this car justice lol and white. My neighbor has one in white and I have an older one in silver. We have like this weird mutual respect due to these cars..it's weird but I love it haha. Awesome test drive as usual
I agree! I have a 2012 in the cement and it is just a beautiful color, i get so many compliments about the color all the time and i agree about the mutual respect due to having one of these cars
Certainly get a lot for your money with the TC. Not sure if I could live with that loud of an exhaust every day, but could certainly live with the Scion TC (Toyota) quality, manual trans, largish interior with the hatch and panoramic sunroof. Would need to drive Civic SI back to back vs. the TC. Nice job on the video!
Love that car it's awesome
RIP Scion.
I own a 2016 Blue Streak Metallic tC with an automatic, and I've been loving it! I tried out a manual one in Cement Gray in my area, couldn't get used to the rev-match on it (coming from an '01 Celica GT-S), so I found the Blue Streak Metallic one and got that instead. Like everyone says though, they are great commuter cars, and I personally love mine with the TRD exhaust equipped. A bit noisier in the cabin compared to the stock exhaust, but I love it regardless! And the colour I think really shines through more than most of the other colour options, you can see the body lines a lot more clearly with it.
Also of note, apparently the 2016 Scion tC was the only year they had a rear wiper blade as standard, which I found strange. :P
Why would you choose an Automatic over a Manual, downshifting wears out the clutch. You don't need to Rev match, throw it in Neutral. I'm currently financing a 2016 Scion TC same color Blue with the 6 Speed Manual Transmission. There's more Automatics then Manual, I waited till I found one with the 6 Speed Manual Transmission. I didn't want an Automatic TC, cause I'm planning to do mods Exterior, Interior and a few engine bolt on's.
The rear wiper was also for 2014 monogram series. And also had push to start button too.
Can you do a video with the new GLA 220 CDI? Thanks!
Im getting one tomorrow, is the engine good? I mean, its a 4 cylinder, but upgrading it would maybe make it more sporty? Im actually looking to do upgrades, but I dont want to be that kid that is asked to race, and im left in the dust
man you can hear the bumps on those 19's
Nice car I'm going to get one to
Seems like a decent little car for the money, especially used.
BTW when u push in clutch when your going to shift u want to let go of that has fast enough for a clean shift. your holding the gas while u push in clutch raving engine up in between shifting gears up
reving*
Wow. Pro tips m8
I own a 2013 tc 6 speed and the engine revs a tiny bit when you shift no matter what. I dont quite no why but mine does the same thing. I'm not riding the gas, I definitely know how to drive a manual. Whrn you drive normal it's not a big deal it's more noticiable at these higher throttles
Test mules at 2:25
@7:19 WTF are you wearing those for???
When ever I try to do a burnout in my 2014 TC it always starts to wheel hop really bad
Cuz it's front wheel drive
Ya'll talking soo much bull crap about the scion tc. The scion TC specially the new one have more than what you really think it has. I own one of those.
Is one of those cars that you don't have to do shit (like civic's corolla's lancer's) to make'im look good.
I had an 06. I drove the hell out of it. Put 96k miles on it in 3 years. Unfortunately they didn't build that generation very well. Things started rattling. I saw all my friends TCs falling apart. Only Issue I had was the switches on the door rattling and the back hatch, nothing fell off mine. Only reason I got rid of it is because the check engine light would keep coming on and I thought that was the end of the road for her. Find out last year, my friend has the same year I did, it happened to her and her gas cap dry rotted, they replaced it and it fixed the problem.... Damn! I wish I had her back, she'd been paid off.
Ik these comments are old but idk why anyone is hating on it , it’s a perfect car for those wanting some reliability , better performance than a corolla , good gas mileage and actually is like me and just wants a good looking car that has a pano sunroof and a good sound system . In my area these are going for like 12k with 50,000km which is an absolute steal for what your getting
@@jadenbertrand7114 I'm thinking of getting a cheap sub 10k (CAD) car and I found a 2013 Scion tC for 8k and it seems a good upgrade from my Yaris until I can get an EV that's actually nice to drive, affordable with enough range (sadly the e-golf is just a bit too short on range for the winter and bolt seats and cheap materials aren't interesting if I were to keep for many years).
how are the seats in this car? are they comfortable and how did you fit in them?
+Brad J Stewart I have an '11 tC and the seats are great. They comfortably keep you in place even when doing some twisties.
How come every tc but mine does the cute beep beep as it’s unlocked? 🥺
What spoiler is on this car?
Can you heel toe shift in the tC? I've heard the pedals aren't spaced well for it.
They really aren’t spaced well, it makes it difficult, 2016 tC owner here
The pedals are not spaced well, the gas pedal is all the way in the back. I keep my toe on the break, twist the foot sideways, and use the heel to punch the gas pedal. But it's still very fun, especially double-clutching with heel-toe, shifting is smooth like butter.
I might buy this car. Should I?
Lol I do not forget that vvti engine sound
I was thinking the same thing with the headphones
I like the TC in general, but man Toyota really needs to get someone to tune that engine so it doesn't sound so much like a Camry. (Which the engine is out of btw) Yamaha tuned the Corolla a few years back for the Corolla XRS.... cough cough.
Honda Civic SI 2014 or Scion TC 2014? I cAnnot decide which car to get.
tC, I think the interior of the Civic has features that remind me of a Prius...
The tC is simple and clean, but it rides nice and can be modded to hell if you want. I have a monogram series and love it.
Theyre both good, but I gotta go with TC.
More trunk room, bigger trunk opening, looks cooler/sportier, one of the best audio systems in a car, easily customizable, has that toyota reliability, more spacious back seats (unless you get the 4door civic), and automatic panoramic sunroof comes standard
Its like a camaro but alil more spacious, alot more practical, and alot more reliable with a good audio system. Only downside is its not as fast and you dont get to see 50 of them a day
@@rickytrevino8281 but it’s not really meant to be fast.
@@jonlosito2004 Didn't say it was. Though they did design it around looking fast
One issue with the motor I have is weak valve springs... Other then that love the car, would have liked to see it come with LSD. It deffently has people turning there heads. Should see my tc at importfest Vancouver for scion.
How do you know it has weak valve springs? Did you mis shift or something and blow it up?
The rockers can fall out easily under hard throttle high rpm and misshifting causing over rev.
Any motor can fail if you mis shift and over rev it that high. Fact is there are thousands of Camrys and Rav4's with this engine they don't have this problem because they are all automatics that can't be mis shifted by morons. I hate when cars get a bad rep because of bad owners who abuse them.
So the drifter tc where morons when they fixed this issue. Kay.
That's not a stock car....not even close
Why i went for the tc. More torque than the frs great handling 2.5inline 4 banger put a turbo into her and you'll beat gti's. sounds great for the price you can't beat it. It looks different but at the same time it looks great! I own the 2015 I went with the auto with paddle shifters. Now debating on an invidia n1 exhaust or just going trd. I live in pa that being said RWD isnt going to cut it. Even if i am a car enthusiast. for a every day driver and weekend driver with the sun roof and windows down this car is everything i wanted it to be. Cons- Engine is kinda whiney could be power steering or something idk. something rattling with 14k miles on it been looking for it for a few days now((isn't engine or chassis related)). doors rattle a bit when you have the bass all the way up and pass 28 but when you put your hands on the door handle it stops. lol license plate rattles but just get two extra plastic screws screw em in and your set to go. I see most tc haters just hate simply because they bought some over expensive car when you can buy a cheaper car like this that beats frs's. if you say 20k is cheap... If a 2l Turbo evo can go head to head with a 2.5 flat 4 turbo than a 2.5 scion with a turbo can get up there in power. Depending on the angle you look at the tc it can be both epic looking but can look ugly as shit. which is why i have a love hate for my car. for anyone interested I will be going wrx in the near future. and possibly pump out some cruising videos.That is my input on the tc peeps hope you enjoy. :)
SpikenMike Any particular reason why you're going with a WRX? Interested in knowing your reasoning for going the subaru route.
slasher 4433 Well all wheel drive for one. AWD is always better off the line and subaru seems to have perfected awd. Wrx comes with a turbo so less work there, you can just upgrade the turbo and add whatever you like. Evos are head comps against the sti and have a 2.0l so it will be a daily driver and my fun driving car at the same time! I live in Pennsylvania so as a daily driver the awd will come in handy throughout the year. With some loving subarus can be beautiful looking cars. I know people with subys that have 300k miles on them. THey have a good rep where i'm from and not alot of people have heavily modded ones like what i want to do. Hope you are satisfied with my answer man!
SpikenMike Thanks! I'm in the market for a 15 base, and I'm super excited to get one. Good luck!
It has electric power steering there's no pump pully so not sure what the whine could be
@@spikenmike4384
Mitsubishi evo's are better than Subarus and they have less problems than Subarus as well
I'm a proud owner of a 2015 Evo final Edition and never had any problems out of my car bought it brand new in 2015
if you want to get the most power you can possible get out of that TRD exhaust you gotta get the TRD cold air intake because with them both combined you would have 200 horsepower give or take a couple because stock you got 179 - 180 horsepower. but without the TRD cold air intake or a K and N cold air your not going to get the maximum performance out of that exhaust
Doug Kaminski Curios about the 200 hp claim, did you do a dyno run?
You don't get 20 hp from intake and exhaust hah. Dyno it
Why would a CAI magically unlock HP from a CBE? The TRD intake is little more than a normal closed airbox, it's not a CAI. These parts aren't giving you any power at all. The only thing these parts are good for is the dealers profit margins as they charge clueless teenagers exorbitant labor rates.
how loud is the cabin with the stock exhaust
It's not too loud but you can definitely hear the exhaust
Its audible driving on the highway, but if you turn on the radio and turn it up it isnt
What do you use to record
ruclips.net/video/vAb0FTYpn-k/видео.html
er
Is it a 5 or 6 speed manual?
6 speed manual
Sweet!! Wish I had a few bucks to waste haha
"Waste."
Sebastian Rosenberg For the price, you get a complete car. Cruise Control, Moonroof, 17inch alloy wheels, spacious back seats, legit sound system, and Toyota reliability. And it gets decent MPG.
When you live on your own and not with your parents you think practicality first and racer boy second.
People who want practicality would get something else. Only boy racers drive TC; serious drivers don't consider this. Plus, TC's one of Toyota's weakest in terms of reliability.
Actually it has 18 inch wheels.
So the new TC has rev match or are you heal-toe shifting?
rev match
I test drove one myself. No rev match on Manual but auto does.
2007 Ls460
?
why does this thing even exist now that the FR-S is out?
because not everybody wants a very small RWD sports car? Some people actually want a practical car that still looks nice. The tC has massive cargo space and gets good gas mileage. It's a super practical car for just an every day driver.
Atomic Rooster late response but I feel like it's a good starting car for new drivers, and cheaper
Atomic Rooster because a brand cant survive off of one model
from 2:18 - 2:28, there are 2 camouflaged cars. can anyone guess what they might be?
Where?
@@JecuskyGarrett The oncoming cars from 2:25-2:27. The first car covers the front bumper only. The second car was almost completely covered in wrap.
@@0wenage I know, I was making a camouflage joke.
Hyundai Sonata?
I have this car but I only have one car which is this I don't spend a lot of money though
lol nice goggles bro
I have a 2006 scion tc... No offense but the 2nd Gen is boring compared to the newer models. By that I mean the interior is alright
u can burn a clutch if you don't do it correctly be careful because it's a bitch to do a clutch on a front wheel drive car it's probably almost 1,000$ for labor alone
I thought about getting the 1rst gen, I'm not feeling the 2nd gen looks much cuz of the back, looks kinda like the Japanese version of the Dodge Avenger....which I find hideous.
I hope the 3rd gen is a start from scratch.
Yeah definitely with you on that 1G looks waaay better.
+marcus Alan Driving both, the 1st gen looks better and feels better imo. I dont like the 6 speed auto, it was better on gas, but the 4 speed feels much faster to shift.
I got a 1st gen 😁
this could be a really cool car but its just missing something special about it
Its a plain jane car forsure...
For the price, you get a complete car. Cruise Control, Moonroof, 17inch alloy wheels, 6 speed transmission, spacious back seats, legit sound system, and Toyota reliability. And it gets decent MPG.
You WON'T find a Nissan or a Honda for the same price with the same equipment.
For those looking for a functional/reliable car sure. But I say plain jane because the Scion TC does not suit me personally. Its got the equipment forsure....but its a boring car.
Quincy Hall How can you call it a boring car when it comes complete with everything?
Ive driven a few of them now. And to me it just feels like its missing something....aggressive styling but really doesnt have the bite to back up its looks. That my friend is a girls car to me. Looks and functionality rather than performance. For some the TC would make a great car. But not I ;-).
I have this car minus the trd mods. I should of bought something else.
You don't like the tc at all??
i have the 2013 scion tc with all trd mods, every one, intake, springs, wing, exhaust and a couple more and i love it. best daily ever@@jrmenzies9060
yeah...and its still a Scion TC...
I love his videos but his driving is too rough, even for a test drive. Treats a car like a machine with no soul :(
Nah.. I think it’s the roads itself. They need a change.
Tc's are just like Honda Civic's you have to do a bunch of shit to them in Order for them to be fast against competition both of them are not made for racing their daily driver reliable commute cars that will get you where you need to go if you want to throw money into it why not get a car that's already ready to race like a Mitsubishi Evo or a Subaru STI problem solved!!
Looks and sounds like you're driving a Tupperware container...
I think tC's are girl cars lol.
Agreed.....lol
What makes you say that?
I honestly see more girls driving Camaros and Mustangs than TC's
Mustangs are fairy cars, camaros are alright. I haven't really been a muscle car guy though, and I absolutly despise ford.
Absolutely **
Id take the hyundai Genesis coupe and FRS over this girl TC...
Those are 2 different categories bud lol. I'd take an Evo over a girly little Genesis or FRS. :)
i reminded my parents to bury me in the backyard the day i wasted money on a TC. all TC owners drive around like they are in a bugatti, such a 13 year old annoying car
chuck Norris
what you said literally makes zero sense Chuck Norris rofl. "You never owned a TC" ...exactly...the fuck? LOL why would i own a TC then bash the TC
I drive a Scion tC for my DD and no have complaints on it.
For the price, you get a complete car. Cruise Control, Moonroof, 17inch alloy wheels, spacious back seats, legit sound system, and Toyota reliability. And it gets decent MPG.
What are your complaints about the car? It's too slow? Grow the fuck up, kid.
NextSelection
no my complaints is that it is cheap, ugly, and every 15 year old has one that their parents buy them and think they are in a bugatti because it has 2 doors. no i don't even care about speed especially in a DD
Braden Rikli Don't you think you sound like a little bitch?
NextSelection
gotta love that response, typical sore loser who gets chat crafted and literally has nothing else to say.
Dislike bc it’s a Manual
i have a 2013 scion tc with all trd mods and its best with a manual trust me
Scion sucks
you better not have a Honda.....
+MR. Yuck Why shouldn't I get a Honda?
You better not have a Chevy Malibu
@@jonlosito2004 I don't
Then wtf you have?
