| Road Test |
The 2008 Scion tC is the only coupe model to be sold under the Scion brand, which is offered at select Toyota dealerships. The tC is based on the European-market Toyota Avensis. Now the oldest vehicle in the Scion lineup of small cars, the tC adopts a new front end--with projector headlamps and round taillamps--that more closely resembles that of its new teammates.
The tC is powered by a 161-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes the tC quite entertaining to drive with the standard five-speed manual transmission, or adequate for most needs with the available four-speed automatic. The 2008 Scion tC handles especially well, with good, communicative steering and a firm but comfortable ride.
