What's New for the 2005 Scion tC?
One of Toyota's most impressive efforts to date, the new 2005 Scion tC is aimed directly at Generation Y buyers. Built on the same platform as Europe's Toyota Avensis, the 2005 Scion tC combines a re-tuned 2.4-liter Camry four-cylinder engine making 160 horsepower with a sport suspension and lots of standard equipment, all draped by sheetmetal that looks like a coupe but functions like a hatchback.
Advantages of the 2005 Scion tC:
- Fun to drive demeanor
- Interesting use of interior materials and design
- Highly customizable
- Impressive levels of standard equipment
Objections to the 2005 Scion tC: Editor's Advice:
Built to be a Civic-killer, the 2005 Scion tC will also provide hearty competition for the Acura RSX, Ford Focus, Hyundai Tiburon, Kia Spectra5, Mazda 3, Mini Cooper, Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, Saturn Ion, Subaru Impreza, and Volkswagen Golf. For a price just north of $16,500 buyers get a fun, useful, quality car that will probably last a long time, and look good doing it. In fact, the 2005 Scion tC resets expectations when it comes to the kind of car Generation Y buys, forcing out pretenders that cannot supply upscale features in a youthful and fun-to-drive package sold at a competitive price.
