#2011 SCION TC TURBO AUTOMATIC WINDOWS#
I hate shinny or chrome accents in the interior because they reflect some ghost images on the windows and windshield. Some people complains about the dark plastic interior. Some metal parts under the passenger seat used to make some noise on the freeway, too.
#2011 SCION TC TURBO AUTOMATIC DRIVER#
I used to notice some slight vibrations on the driver side window under certain high wind conditions on the freeway the first two years but then this issue went way. I think it is more noisy than the Civic and Mazda as I remember them during test drives. I drive the freeways in Los Angeles but there are some gnarly roads there. Big pumps or pot holes on the freeway never seem to upset the TC. The TC isn't as agile as some other cars like an Civic Si or the Mazda 3. Yes it under steers when you push it but, that is a problem with all FWD. At 80mph, the car feels like it's doing 45mph. It even blipped the throttle while shifting down, very cool! I test drove a 2016 models and yes, it shifted quicker both up and down. I wish I have either the 2015 or 2016 model as they have a updated transmission with shift-paddles from the FRS.

The only thing I wish is that the transmission would shift faster in manual mode. As in my TC, the transmission is always smooth shifting up or down. I read complaints about jerky power delivery and hesitant shifting there must be some defects going in these cases. When I put it in manual mode, the engine screams all the way to the redline without any issues, very smooth. The engine and transmission are very smooth. Open the hatchback and stand back 10 feet directly behind the car and look at it. Very nice!! Another cool thing is the hatchback. The first thing that caught my attention was the cool driving wheel. The bars eliminates virtually all body roll and the suspension actually becomes more compliant. I add a TRD airbox, TRD exhaust, and front and rear TRD stabilizer bars. I have had my automatic 2012 TC since 2011. Also this car has some heavy and wide doors so getting out of your tC may be difficult in narrow spots. This car is mostly for style, reliability, and is very user friendly. I wouldn't recommend investing in this car if you're looking for a car to modify heavily. The only thing I do regret is the lack of horsepower. I've owned this car for almost 4 years now and I have not had any issues with the engine nor the transmission. I love driving the car everyday and maintenance is not too expensive or difficult to do yourself. I swapped out the intake with the TRD intake which made it respond better, swapped the exhaust to the TRD exhaust which made it sound deeper, but not too loud, a very comfortable aggressive sound, and threw on some TRD lowering springs which lowered it about an inch giving it a better handle on the road. Plus those upgrades were a really tasteful improvement. I personally upgraded some stock parts to the TRD ones and to still have it street legal. Even though it lacks power and is fwd, i still enjoy driving it. Driving the car feels great and it responds nicely. It was so roomy inside, which a lot of coupes aren't, and even people that ride in the back are still comfortable. I fell in love with this car the first day I drove it.
