The Scion tC was a good car, most people where upset with the horsepower output from stock. But they’re fun little cars I had a 2007 and the only problem I had was a squeaking sound coming from the clutch which is a common problem but a little lubricating oil solved the issue. Only other problem was the plastic around radiator started to become fragile and break off easily but the car took a beating and still ran like a charm. Hopefully they remake them in the future with better options lol if they’re plan was to market to young people they need a car with a minimum 300 HP cause young people like me like to go fast all the time 😂

[@onemat2000]

Scotty... Scion was a brilliant piece of marketing. They wanted to give youngster people something identifying with the younger generation. In 2004 _ 2006 Toyota sold a lot of the TC xB cars. We all knew they were Toyota and that was a plus. I used xBs for several bands I was in and we hauled a lot of gear in them. I was a charter member in Nashville's chapter of the Sicotics. We had about 90 cars in that club and Toyota dealers sold us all kinds of mods. I personally think the Scion branding was a pretty smart thing for Toyota to try.

[@goodiegoodygumdrops]

I like those XBs. Hard trying to find a good one where I am though. I looked at one that had some kind of oil leak and they were also being shady with prices. Ugh. Had 220k miles on it but didn't look terrible. Windshield was cracked all the way across it though. :/ There's one a hour from me that has some paint issues for $3500 has over 200k as well.

I live in central CA near the coast. Seven years ago I bought an 88 Fiero V6/five speed in Mankato, MN...flew back and drove it home, swinging by northern Idaho to visit my brother, who also once owned an 88 Fiero......which, incidentally, was the first one I ever drove. This 88 has an unusal history. Because it was the last year made, the dealership displayed it on their showroom floor for seven years and then the owner took it as his own personal car, moving it to Florida and driving it there only when he was on vacation. When I bought it, it had 20K on it, but now has 57K. This is my third Fiero and have driven them exclusively as my driver almost 300K altogether since I purchased my first one in '89.......32 years ago. My other 'car' is a Honda ST 1100 motorcycle and, I turned 80 eight months ago. Seems like no matter where I go, someone comes up to me wanting to chat with me about my Fiero. Course, that also happens when I drive my 58 GMC 3/4 ton pick up.....so, I'm used to it. You woudn't, by any chance, like to buy a compact ski boat with a Pontiac 400 in it, would you? When I bought it in Idaho, it was part of an estate sale and had been in storage for 10 years. It is a fast boat and really needs to be ran on a big lake, like Shasta, but that is 300 miles from here and it has been almost ten years since I've had it on the water. My wife and I have lieved apart for over 12 years, but now I'm selling out and we're combining households 210 miles north of where I now reside. BHE (aka.....Handsome Mel)

how would you compare Scion to a Civic in terms of reliability? I know aftermarket for Scion is pretty limited, so stock vs stock I'd like to know. Debating on a 11-15 civic or 11-16 TC. Both coupe obviously. Do you drive an auto or manual? I can do both, but would like to know how auto lasts mileage wise, thanks!

[@NMack-is3nb]

@@dbzownz12345 I would say they're pretty similar. The Scion tC is basically a Camry shoved into a coupe. I've had mine for 10 years. It's got just over a 100k miles and automatic 2010 model. I've only had to make one repair for it which was a pollution sensor. I also threw 2500 into recently to give struts and a tune up. It's been an absolutely great car. It's a Toyota product if you wash it regularly and change the oil often it will last you a long time. I assume most people think they're throwaways because they're not in production anymore but they are definitely a hidden affordable gem. I would say the only downside is they're not great in the snow.

I love the fiero. My dad had a fiero it was fun driving very low riding car.

[@DylanL69]

They were horrible

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I had a 85 GT/Manual new Yes they were fun and build quality was legendary.

[@briancook7645]

As a fiero owner you do not hear about them EVER. Very excited when I saw haha. And yeah the fiero is the most fun car I've driven. It's a neat car.

[@dkqt07]

Got brand new 2006 scion tc instead of honda s2000. Now 226k miles , still take me to work everyday . Best decision ever..

[@The_Noticer.]

Why would the S2000 have been a bad buy? And the engine in the S2000 is legendary, unlike the boring toyota engines.

[@dkqt07]

Lol..I like s2000 but scion tc more practical and 10k cheaper. I was a college student, don't have money to spend on weekends car..

[@DylanL69]

Nope look up the repair history they suck

[@MikeKollin]

I have that same engine in my Del Sol... rebuilt it and the transmission and clutch 6 1/2 years ago... Runs like a charm... Super easy to work on, cheap to fix, cheap on insurance and fun!!

Went to buy an Isuzu PUP for $200, and I saw a Fiero. long story short, we got both for $1,000 BIG ones. Ringed the motor and honed the cylinders on the Isuzu, then sold it for $1500!! Had to replace the clutch, and the heater core. The interior was super clean, and the white paint compounded out. Driving that V 6 was fun, especially on the twisties. I daily drove it for over 2 years, with no repairs. AND, the pop-up headlights even worked!! Ended up taking a $3600 offer from a guy building a kit car.

[@LoneStarStinger]

I bought a 2010 scion Tc as my first brand new car off the show room. In the 8 years I had it, and after 60,000mi I never had a single issue. NOT ONE. It was my cute “bubble car”. Named Lil blue.... I was honestly sad when I traded it in... also it kept its value pretty well. 🚙

[@Karll541]

What did you trade it in for? Another Toyota?

[@adrenalineadrian4166]

Why’d you let it go ?

[@chrishawkins32014]

I’ve had a few 93 civics… they are solid beasts back then. I now have a 17 year old Volvo and I love that one just as much.

[@DariustheUAVguy]

Both the Honda and the yota at the end were beyond special

[@DylanL69]

Hahahahahahaha no they weren't the fiero was more special

[@markewing10]

About Honda distributors: I had a 1978 Accord with a bad distributor. Dealer said their distributors don't have bushings. I asked if he knew anything about friction. He tried to sell me a new one for $160. I fixed it with a couple of bronze bushings I got from an electric motor repair shop. Cost $0.50 and ran for another 5 years.

[@SongsforSpace]

Cool story lol

[@nickfountain8420]

The Yota MR-2's are still one of my favorite looking cars 😍 Look like mini Ferrari's

[@mitchevans1692]

Bought a 82 Accord for $50 in 1993, drove from Dallas TX to Chicago area by way of the Atlantic ocean and I pulled off the freeway in Savannah Georgia and it idled very rough, pulled off the distributor cap and found the bearing shot in the distributor, made it all the way to nw Indiana where I found a junkyard distributor for $50. Drove back to Dallas and sold it for $750... good car...

[@fromthebackofmymind]

Small coupes are under constant intimidation from big pickups and Suv's. I see plenty of compensated tools crowding me, as I drive my itty bitty GM J.

[@JiggyJiggy21]

Just got 2014 Scion TC with about 108k miles. I love the car so much. Very roomy seats with a bunch of cargo space since it's hatchback. The car looks better, more sporty and stylish to me compare to most of the coupes in the price range. People say Horsepower is the turn off, but as a guy who owned V8 with over 300HP before this one, the TC is not that bad as they say in speed. Not crazy for you to race it, but fun enough to enjoy daily driving. Plus, saved me tons of gas money. Wish Toyota didn't discontinue the model though. I like coupes because of their styling and hatchback made it everyday practical.

My mother and I like speed she used to race in the Powder Puff Derby. I used to street race a retired undercover car from Five-0 in Honolulu, a '70 Challenger R/T with a 440, 6pack And other modifications, Including suspension. Also, a stock '74 Grand Prix, 400-4 V8. And last but absolutely not least, a '76 Buick Le Sabre 4dr sedan with a 455 V8, with a Rochester M4MC 4 brl carb. They just never knew what hit 'em with this one.

@0:24 - 1:34 - My kind of thinking.👌 Many people sadly often don't look beyond the usual , don't rxercise the out of box perspective to see potential. I would put a 2nd engine in that space, turn the car into a "sleeper". (edited: @3:22- 3:48 - you took the very words out of my mouth! Seen afterwards)

The BEST CAR I EVER OWNED was an 84 CRX 1.3 that I put 379K on, only repair the distributor and it didn't use a drop of oil. The fenders were plastic that eventually cracked so I replaced them once with junkyard fenders in excellent condition and the same CRX Honda blue used for years.

I bought an '81 Mercury Bobcat (fancy Pinto) as my first car back in '96, & processed to buy several cars & minivans between $500-1k up until say 2005 or so & it seems like the days of the $500 car you can legally & reliably drive are behind us. Sure that Honda is a beater but I'd buy it for $500 in a heartbeat! You could likely replace the seats & interior for $100-200 from pretty much any salvage yard.

[@laurisnicholson1602]

He can find a decent back seat at a salvage yard. Looks like a great project car, fun to fix up🥰🚘

I’ve had my scion tc m/t for 16 trouble free years. Such a cheap car to own. I will be trading it in today for a bigger car. It crushes me that I have to get rid of a perfectly fine car. But I have to play the good dad and get a car big enough to haul the family and their gear around.

[@TheWilferch]

Scion xA....I got one.....marketed to young people......but because this car is semi-SUV or semi-cross-over.....you sit higher. Result?... LOT'S of older folk who wanted Toyota reliability in a nice "sit-high" package .....got the Scion xA. I've got over 255,000 trouble free miles on mine. Bonus.... flatten the passenger seat by taking off the headrest and reclining....and you can haul tons of 8 ft long 2x4's in it too....like a small wagon. Drives well and steers well too..... great handling.....great car.

[@psyco121121]

Hey Scotty, I drive a Corolla, but it would be nice to see recommendations on reliable cars from brands other than Toyota and Honda or the Fords like Crown Vic, etc. There could be cheap and reliable vehicles from the likes Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, etc. It would be nice to see other options, I'm pretty sure they're not all junk. Greetings!!
