So last time I had the warranty work done on my Trix, they gave me a beater 07 Corolla LE, car was bone stock and looked and felt and drove like crap. Funny since it sits on the same frame with the same engine, made my Trix feel like a Mercedes.So I brought it back yesterday cause it was having a little squeal issue since they fixed it, no big deal but they wanted to keep it for a day. So I get another loaner. I'm thinkin, beater Rolla. Ehh wrong. Gave me an 07 Scion Tc.Here's the low down:dark grey17" alloysspoilerginormous sunroof with a glass roof over rear passengersfog lamps (identical to the one on the Trix/Vibe)that sick stereo by pioneer that changes colors, it's funFirst few things I noticed were that it has a selection on the auto for 3. So you can pop over to 3 with a left tap and get some more power from a downshift. Nicer than hitting O/D. The seats are pretty comfy with big bolsters and the ideal seating position is fairly laid back. The materials feel more upscale and even my buddy with his 325ci last night commented how it looked good and was a nice car. I'm still shocked Yota gave me this thing. It's definitely quick, mash the gas and it goes. It's not XRS/GT fast but it moves. Handling is darn good on stock yokohama's, it has a rear sway bar. Not to mention the upgrades you can do with TRD suspension, brakes, exhaust, etc. The list is endless.All in all I was definitely impressed, I always took them for granted for little toys, but they def. have a lot of nice features, I mean heck, even the little dial for the temperature has a lit up LED that changes in color from blue to orange to red when you adjust it. And the screen and buttons for the climate are really nice. Again I was impressed but me being 26 I don't think I would buy one cause it has a little bit of that boy racer appeal to it so I'm still glad I have my AWD Trix.

I actually was looking at the tC before the vibe, but they were pretty new then so there wasnt a used one for the price range i was in. I do like them....SC or turbo they are quiet peppy I like their look, they are fairly comfy and that sun roof thing is cool.

I've always liked the tC.
