Scions are the teenagers of the Toyota family. All tCs are powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder, which can be mated to either a manual (22/30 mpg) or automatic six-speed (23/30 mpg). Inside the cabin, the rear seats fold flat, and spilt 60/40 to accommodate long or bulky objects. Every model gets a panoramic glass roof, cruise control, and keyless entry, along with some upscale touches like a leather-trimmed wheel. But Scion's bread and butter is factory customization, and there are a plenty of options to choose from.
Those looking to stand out from the crowd can opt for the FIVE:AD Aero Kit, which comes with a front lip spoiler, a rear valance and side skirts. There are also plenty of go-fast bits available from Toyota Racing Development, including a quick shifter kit, lowering springs, sway bars, and a big brake kit. A Limited Edition High Voltage 7.0 edition is available only in High Voltage yellow, and features a push button start, a honey comb grill and 18-inch alloy wheels. MSRPs for the tC begin at $18,995 for the manual and $19,995 for the automatic.
