2010 Scion tC Review

The 2010 Scion tC is a nicely-equipped, sporty coupe that provides loads of practicality and an affordable price tag. Pricing is set at $17,000 and includes all of the benefits associated with Toyota reliability, quality and durability. Tight fitting body panels and high-quality manufacturing standards are obvious everywhere that you look. Top quality interior materials have been designed and assembled to demonstrate meticulous attention to every detail. Optionally leather bucket seats are cushy and completely large enough to accommodate all drivers very comfortably.

The 160W Pioneer stereo system that comes stock with the 2010 tC features iPod connectivity. Further your journey into the technical realm by taking advantage of the optional navigational system. Enter into the cabin and rev up the 2.4L 161hp 4-cylinder engine that will deliver you 20 MPG of fuel in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highways. The vehicle rates very well in terms of ride quality, responsiveness of steering and performance-based handling. Its powerful 4-wheel disc brakes are backed up by an antilock braking system as well as a system for electronic brake force distribution.

The 2010 tC by Scion presents you with an impressive array of airbags and various other standard safety features. And while there are limited factory options available, there are loads of accessories that can be installed from your dealer in order to allow you to make your new tC completely individualistic. This ability to personalize makes your new Scion tC even more exciting to drive. In addition, the ride is very smooth - very quiet. The 2.4L engine generates plenty of power with its double overhead cam and 16 separate valves to propel this 2900-pound vehicle as quickly as you will like to take it.

An electronically variable valve timing system is excellent for creating copious amounts of low-end torque. Further, the 2010 tC is classified as a ULEV (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) which makes you feel good about helping to protect the environment. You can choose between a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5-speed manual. The 106.3-inch wheelbase enhances ride quality and creates a more stable driving experience. Macpherson struts grace the frontal suspension system while the rear suspension is crafted with independent 2X-wishbone design standards. In addition, the Scion tC comes stock with Bridgestone Potenza tires mounted on 17 inch alloy wheels. The overall result is a hip, sporty and somewhat flashy vehicle crafted for optimizing urban cruising excitement.

Overall, the 2010 Scion tC is a fun, good looking, aggressively-styled, if you ignore the Mazda MazdaSpeed3, and dependable vehicle especially favored by first time buyers. You can count on Scion's quality reputation and excellent customer service standards to accentuate your experience both before and after purchasing. Explore the world of the Scion tC further today and treat your senses to a glimpse of the future of automotive design.
