| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Ample width; able to find comfortable driving position even without telescoping steering wheel. see full Scion tC review |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seat fabric is very rough and stains are unusually difficult to remove, but the fabric is at least durable. Rear seat is split folding, and also reclines. Rear seat is actually usable (have a child seat installed back there), panoramic moonroof is nice. see full Scion tC review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The 2.4 liter 4 has decent torque as well as more than 20HP more than the Civic; it was one of few cars in its price class that would smoke the tires (the dealer may not appreciate this test method) see full Scion tC review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
gutless, compared to other, brakes weak see full Scion tC review |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
5-speed manual is geared very low, which is great for low-end torque, kills fuel economy on the highway (that has been remedied by the 2nd gen tC's 6-speed manual) see full Scion tC review |

| 2006 Scion tC Tires: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Stock tires are horrible in winter. 17" low-profile tires have a decent amount of road noise, and need replacing faster than "regular" tires. see full Scion tC review |
