PT CRUISER VS SCION TC

[mjb457]

[^][:I]Anyone own the Scion TC ... ?? How does it compare to the PT... Scion seem to have alot of add on fun stuff,,,very sporty also in the coup form..(I think).[8)] looking now,, so opinions are [^] helpful. thanks MJB[8]

You want a fun car? Go look and drive the Mazdaspeed 3. Hatchback, handles great and is quick. [?] Scion TC is a pretty good looking car, but it is slow.

Just throw some money at Ford for one of there bizillion Mustand packages, lots of horse but also slow.
It just kills me, every show I go to some guy pulls up in a factory bought Mustand with dealer tags and gets a trophy, why? My friends Lambo'd, ram air hood, dual flowmaster, body kitted, 17" chrome mag wheels, and custom horse on the side, 97 Mustang is all home garage done, but never gets looked at.

Reliable?: 3 words. Made By Toyota.

[calicranberry]

yeah, at least as reliable as a cruiser. like fritz said, made by toyota.

not as practical as a cruiser. if, like me, you like the multiple options the cruiser gives for seating and hauling your stuff, then there is no comparison between the tc and cruiser.

of course, you could get the "box it came in" scion xb.....

scion xb... mini fridge on wheels!!!

[8)]No not that ugly thing the TC which is a coup.. 23 MPG city 30 MPG highway seats fold down etc loaded for $18K ...just thinking Toyata quality also,,,,[xx(]

[Red GT]

If you're concerned about bucks and mpgs then yeah..., it's a Toyota. But I do agree about the new Mazdas, they are nice. I'm driving a GT, don't care about the mpgs or the bucks. I love that I can take out the rear seats and carry a whole lot, and have. I'm not sure you'd get that much in a Scion TC.

[8)]You are absolutely correct! I love my PT but some of the annoyances with repairs has me thinking ahead,,my dealer though has been terrific & DC also has comethru fine with warranty help...just venting! [xx(]MJB
