So, you’re a young person living in the US and loves coupes but don’t have the money even for the entry-level Scion FR-S? Rest assured because you can get the cheaper tC model for 5 grand less.
Yeah, you won’t get rear wheel drive, but you still have a pretty decent 2.5-liter engine making 180 hp and 172 lb-ft, MacPherson strut front suspension and double wishbone one in the rear, both with stabilizer bars, remote keyless entry, leather tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio buttons, cruise control, Pioneer infotainment system with multiple connectivity and more.
Not to mention that the tC looks better than most regular hatches out there while still providing the right level of comfort and usability. It comes with a very angular look, especially at the front, a panoramic power roof, chrome exhaust and 18-inch alloy rims.
The only thing that might upset you with this car is the stock exhaust. Yeah, the Scion tC looks nice for a FWD coupe, but in stock shape it sounds like a hairdryer. But you can totally change that using a TRD exhaust system specially-designed for it.
Not sure how good it will sound? Why not check the videos bellow and see (hear) for yourself. Use a set of headphones because both clips have binaural audio, meaning that sound has been recorded using two microphones to mimmic human ears.
