Is the Scion tC worth buying if you want a comfy sporty daily driver?

As long as you understand its just a two door Camry and don't do stupid shit, like put a GoPro mount on the hood.

If the tC was worth buying, do you think scion would've been sent to pasture?

>>16303033
>Is the Scion tC worth buying
No.
There are many other better choices. Especially if you're thinking about modding it in any way.

I drive a manual tC.
Still faster than fuccboi Si's at the redlight and mine is full on leather trim.

tC is also much more spacious. I could rent out the trunk as an apartment if i needed to.

tC stands for track Camry

>>16303404
lol I'm not a tC hater by any means but the Si is faster and that's indisputable. It is lighter, more power and has VTEC yo.

This is the problem with tCs, the owners actually believe they drive something fast.

Id rather own a tC since it's comfier and more spacious, but you will get btfo by an Si

K24's aftermarket is amazing..

epic honda meemsters aside trying to unironically benchrace daily driver economy cars, its a great reliable daily driver with a little bit of a kick.

it's not as good as a civic si (doesn't handle as well, isn't as quick), but its also way way cheaper and more common than a equivalent year civic si.

Drivetrain is though as old boots; but the rest of the car will fall apart around you.
Also about exciting as a glass of milk.

>>16303983
>its a great reliable daily driver

It gets less mpg than a Civic, has lower reliability scores/more expensive parts, and is slower.

>he will still defend this

>>16304052
You forgot to mention that insurance rates on TCs are ridiculously high for what it is.

Never heard any bad things about the cars themselves except that you can get better for the same price. Some of their drivers are the toyota equivalent of honda civic fuccbois

I'd rather get a Kia Forte Koup. Scion is just awful, they've been killed off for a reason.

Not really. Insurance premiums will rape you dead. Consider also a Civic Si, WRX, or Fiesta/Focus ST.

>>16303033
My friend owns a TC. He regrets it now. It is a comfy ride, but it's nothing but a 2 door Camry in the end. Sure, you can get it up to 100mph, but it's not a car you're gonna race anyone in. I think they only come in automatic too.. so that's an automatic deal breaker for me

>>16304052
Sure

>Its cheaper and newer with less mileage
>Its easier to find in good shape because they're more common

That's all I had to do, see?

>>16304058
A Si is far more theft prone and often owned by teenage boy racers totaling them out, so I doubt it.

>>16304175
>I think they only come in automatic too.. so that's an automatic deal breaker for me
Then how do i have one with a 6 speed?

Just get a 2dr Accord.

>>16304182
Except you're wrong. Do a little research, try googling "most expensive cars to insure". Not only are TCs more expensive due to insure, they are also one of the cars most likely to be pulled over. For the exact reason you mentioned, teenage boy racers but them and then crash them..

>>16304175
They come in a manual, it's still shit though. Long throw shifter with long boring gears.

Normies will think it's sporty because of the looks

I have a friend who is 20, and works as an apprentice mechanic. After having a bad experience trying and failing to keep some e36 i3 on the road, he wanted something "reliable" and "quick" and got himself an automatic TC. Automatic because he has to commute, of course. He now gets shit on at every job he works at and every meet we go to.

This is the kicker. He always talks about how fast it is, and yet he has the slowest car in our group of friends (2000 mustang gt 5-speed, 2001 Prelude 5-speed, 2015 Civic Si, and an e46 335i.) and yet still paid the most by at least 4-500%.

For anyone interested we go to drag weekends and this is the actual speed ranking. Not going to say which is mine so I can't be accused of being biased.

2000 Mustang GT 5-speed

Prelude 5-speed
2015 Civic Si automatic
Scion TC automatic
*sorry for typos

Basically, the TC is slow and gets shit on by a bunch of shitboxes.

Nothing wrong with a tC if you acknowledge it's just a sportier daily driver. I drove a tC2, they're not fast at all, but I wouldn't call it slow. It gets out of its own way just fine.

(You) know sporty from a normie perspective is meaningless

While I do disagree with the hive mind of /o/ often, sporty still needs to mean something. If it is slightly better handling or engine oomph, it has to be something. Scions aren't sporty because they aren't diffrent from normal. I would call a mustang or civic sporty (for diffrent reasons) and neither have irs.

an FR-S is better in literally every single way. Let that sink in for a moment.

You faggots need to shut the fuck up - for one the Civic Si is a smaller, more expensive car than the tC.

for $25k, you said you're going to buy something faster in every single way, which is presumably second hand/used.

you are too fucking poor to be able to pick one up new & eat the depreciation.

people who aren't poorfags (read: not you) are able to buy toyobaru's new, enjoy the warranty for a bit, & then mod the car to their hearts content.

only poorfags have to worry about getting the best value from their cars because they won't be able to afford many modifications afterwards, hence the majority of poor pieces of shit wanting used cars.
