It looks zippy. Good call with the roof, I like the way that looks.

Apparently, you either know nothin or you are jealous.
I have driven that car, and although it isnt my favorite FWD car ever, it is a nice car to drive. Plus it has the quality feel directly from its parent company, Toyota. For the price and standard features that come on that car, there arent many new cars in the same catagory to compare.
Anyway
I think you made a good choice. The fact that you bought solid, reliable, sporty, upgradeable, warrentied, and affordable car (with a proper manual of course), shows that you have a great imagination and that you appreciate a good car when you see it.

Thanks alot I appreciate that. And thats exactly how I feel about it.
Update: 13,000 miles and it hasnt missed a beat. Although I hate having a car payment I couldnt live without my Scion. It just too good for getting to work and just living life.
I never got the chance to congratulate you on your ride. I think you made an awesome choice, especially in the white color you got it in. I love how it contrasts with the panoramic sunroof. One of my roommates has one, and he loves it. I got to drive it around and it was pretty damn fun.
I wish you many more safe and fun miles in her Midengine.

Thank you very much 
My only regret is just the fact that they are sooooooo popular around here. Ive never liked cars you see on every block, but here I am owning one lol. Theres like 4 others just in the employee lot at work. Still though, I love my car =)

^^^ Yeah, it's true that they are everywhere, but that's just because they're one of the best new cars you can get for that kind of money. If the price range for when I got my car was ~20k, I would have gotten the tC as well, almost no doubt at all.
Btw, love the second shot, looks like you took it in Monterey :good:

Nice road to max it out on there - next time, pull over and get out for a fly by
:-DCongrats!
Here speedometers are nearly always set to over read. Usually by about 10mph at that sort of speed. Use a GPS system to prove this.
I don't know how accurate the speedo in the TC may be, but overreading is a great feature for manufacturers . . . it makes the car look quicker, more fuel efficient, and more reliable (racks up miles more quickly.)
He could just get a good estimate with math . . . he knows his engine rpm and could look up the gearing and then make a couple of estimates for different tire diameters (as it varies a bit at speed) and I'm sure he'd atleast get a good idea of how accurate his reading was.
