2008 Scion tC
KBB.com Review

You'll Like This Car If...

If you were a long-time fan of Toyota’s discontinued Celica, you’ll like what Scion has done with the tC. Its robust power, long list of standard equipment and low base price are exactly what young consumers are looking for in a fuel-efficient sports coupe.

You May Not Like This Car If...

The tC is long on style but short on rear-seat headroom. At a certain age, you might think the interior is a little too hip — and colorful at night. Drivers taller than six feet may feel cramped behind the wheel.
