[QUOTE=skrutzen]Wow!
I almost don't want to tell you guys what I got for fear of strong opinons which, for the most part I share with all of you. [QUOTE]

You bought a Pontiac Aztec?

 

 

or the B9 Tribeca or whatever it is called, i just know it is ugly :smile:

 

Ok, here's what I got:

I got a 2006 Scion tC.
...And the crowd goes mild!

 

Oh no .... here we go again ....

 

oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooo

YOU MUST BE DISMISSED FROM NAM, such a disgrace

 

what colour?

 

Not to bad, but three letters, TRD, i hear they have a supercharge kit comig out, maybe with that you will miss the MINI a litttle less.

took my thoughts right out of my mind dude

 

I can see getting a tC if you have never been in a Mini, but why????? Believe me they are no where near the fun to drive factor. I know I sell Scion's and Toyota's every day.

 

Its made by toyota which is very reliable but still...Its a scion. Whatever though, you made your choice and as long as you are happy thats all that matters

True if you like what you got then leave it alone. I got all kinds of crap when I got my current Mini.

 

i like the TC, nice choice man.

i hear the SC should be pretty powerful, might be able to outrun an S



(I'm a closet Xb lover )

 

Last I heard about the SC was that it will be released Sept. Can't wait to drive one. Last hp number I got was around 200. Even if they are more they still can not handle like a Mini.

 

I almost got a tC before the Mini. But the Scion lacked a little appeal to me.

It's been almost since the tC came out I am glad that I went with the Mini..
IMO, the tC is the next Civic what the Corolla could never be... Oh, well, enjoy the car

 

When I was young, (about 40 years ago), I used to trade cars often because I just wanted a new/different car. Think maybe that's what happened here? Seems like clutch repair would be a whole lot less than years worth of additional car payments, sales tax, probably more expensive insurance, etc. Nothing wrong with trading cars and I did my share, but it was a rare case indeed when it was a way to save money. The Scion will also most likely depreciate a lot faster than the MINI.

I don't mean to be critical, after all, it's your car and your money. I just thought about the way I was once and wondered if this was a simular case?

 

Out of curiousity I looked up the EPA estimates for the tC and it gets 22/30 mpg, but doesn't require premium.

 

It has a bigger engine 2.4L DOHC 4 Cyl N/A rated at 160HP stock, to be exact.

The tC is nothing more than a Toyota Camry.

What a snoooooozeeee

 

Nice car... enjoy!

 

Hey, skrutzen has decided to switch cars and tell us about it rather than slink off into the sunset without comment. I respect him for letting us know and I hope he will have fun with his new tC.

Nice.. way to rain on the guy's parade... Why not let the guy feel good about his purchase/decision.
Better to not say anything if you have nothing nice to say...

 

While on the subject of TC's i have heard a few of them and they had an awesome exhaust note, but i do not know whether it was an aftermarket exhaust that looked stock or stock, either way have an awesome time in your tc, if i had the money i would be all over the xb!

 

Becoming a Sciontologist eh? :smile:

Best of luck with the new car and enjoy! Be sure to post pics and let us know of any good mods you get

 

Very clever, eVal! VERY clever!
