2011 Scion tC

2011 Scion tC
2011 Scion tC - Automobile Magazine
Next to the Lexus LFA and IS-F, the Scion tC is one of Toyota's most compelling cars.

The Scion tC used to be the sort of coupe you'd direct your girlfriend to buy and then secretly enjoy driving. With this new model, you can throw out the pretense. Credit mostly goes to the bigger four-cylinder, which packs a real mid-range wallop and is paired with a fantastic six-speed manual. The formerly lifeless steering is still way too light and slow, but now firms up nicely at highway speeds, where the tC is more confident and stable than just about anything in its price range save for a Mini Cooper.
