My new DD
 

So, the old Jeep lost compression on 2 cylinders and thus is not a great DD. I had been wanting a new car for awhile and couldn't really decide on what I want. I wanted a FRS or BRZ, but since I am a bigger guy (6'3" and not small by any means) I didn't fit comfortably in the car. The sales person at the dealer said why not take a tC out for a spin. I fell in love with it when I test drove one, and bought mine a few weeks later.
Only regret is not being able to wait a little longer until after the Toyota release saying they were killing the Scion brand, but I needed a car and it was in my price range, so what can you do?

It's a 2015 Scion tC, 6 speed manual, in Blue Streak Metallic (awesome color and was definitely a selling point for me). The color is absolutely amazing, especially in the sun and when she's clean!

Let me know what you think

Digging the color man!

Re: My new DD
 

Thanks! The color is ridiculous in person, and it was definitely a selling point for me!

Re: My new DD
 

Get that TRD Supercharger option? Great color choice and just slap a Toyota emblem on there. I was going to mention the death of Scion but you already said it.

Re: My new DD
 

Oddly enough they don't offer the TRD supercharger for the 2012 and up. I'm not 100% site, but I believe they put a different motor in the tC after 2012, and never offered the supercharger. But, that would be awesome haha.

I can't believe Toyota is killing Scion, and more over killing the tC specifically (all other models will be continued as Toyotas), but it is what it is.

i thought they just used the 1.8 from the celica gts instead of the 2.4 camry engine?

anyway.. the styling is cool. would you say its roomy enough for a family of 3?

are those wheels still 5x100?

Re: My new DD
 

It's a 2.5 from the Camry, VVTi, 180 hp.

It's definetly a roomy vehicle, I'm 6'3 and not tiny by any means and I'm very comfortable in it. It looks small on the outside, but it's very spacious on the inside.

They're 5x114.3 (or so says Google anyway).

Re: My new DD
 

I do like the color.

Re: My new DD
 

thanks! I'm honestly kind of surprised I don't see more of them in that color around, I think it's the best color option they had

Re: My new DD
 

Blue looks good

Re: My new DD
 

Pretty cool daily. Much nicer than my mine.

Re: My new DD
 

It's actually a very fun car to drive daily, and it's something that I don't see a lot around my area (especially in that color). It's pretty nice having a vehicle that not a lot of people have. It's a lot different than my Jeep, but I'm very happy with the purchase.

What is your daily?

Re: My new DD
 

I'd much rather have one of these than a civic! it'd be toss up with focus but for a DD I feel this a solid choice. I normally only like bright blues but this color is not bad. Not really sad to see the brand go. I wish they did more with it. the xa was a waste xb was ehh.. the xd and tc were the only things of worth.

Re: My new DD
 

I'm not going to lie, I looked at some of the Focus's but I wanted the RS version, and they were too expensive lol. I'm sad to see the brand die because they were actually making an attempt at something different and unique (which is why I kind of liked the xA, and xB). The tC, FRS, and xB should have been their major focus, and adding options like turbo's, AWD, etc. to those models in an affordable package would have been great

Re: My new DD
 

2006 Honda Civic LX... I beat the living fuck out of it living here in Germany and being on the autobahn. A daily is pretty much required as the road salt for snow/ice has a bit of asphalt mixed in.

+ Cosby (raep/rep) for the new whip.

Re: My new DD
 

Nothing wrong with a Civic, how fast have you gotten it on the Autobahn??

And much appreciated bud!!

Re: My new DD
 

Have any plans for this beauty?

Re: My new DD
 

About 115 mph. It starts getting a little shaky. Enough RPMs for more, though. On snow tires it's never a good idea to go all out.

Re: My new DD
 

there's a few things floating around in my head lol. Window visors are a must, and there's a factory spoiler for it that I really like. I've seen back windshield spoilers and I kind of dig them. Eventually lowering it as well, but that's years down the road.

I've put blue LEDs on the interior, LED license plate light, and LED reverse lights

Re: My new DD
 

Yeah snow tires wouldn't be too fun haha. I'd love to top the tC out, but there's no where around that I feel like I try it

Re: My new DD
 

tc is a much more refined daily drive car compared to frs/brz...hard to get out and crappy interior, and not so good visibility.

Re: My new DD
 

How do you feel about Scion being phased out. Would that have affected your decision to buy it?

Re: My new DD
 

I probably would have tried to wait a little longer to see if I could have found one a little cheaper, but other than that no. They're still backed by Toyota, so I know it will be reliable. Plus, they went under because Toyota wasn't hitting their target age range, and sales had been down the past couple of years. It's not like they folded due to some issue with their cars, etc.
