Get a nice sound system, forget a turbo... just get one of those whistles you put in your tailpipe to make it sound turboed... they work nearly as well.

Of the three available Scion products, the tC is the only one (IMO) that might be a worthwhile purchase consideration. While they're all Toyota products (and most likely extremely reliable as a result), the cosmetics of the xA and xB are too...well...yeah.

I like the tC a lot. Saw one with the factory bodykit, 17 or 18" rims (not exactly certain which), etc and it was a very nice lookin' car, I thought.

Congrats on the new ride.

Stuff it full of tunes, d00d. Keep the oil changed regularly and you'll be driving it forever. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yeah lesson learned, my old car is breaking down since the alternator is dieing from my first caraudio install, i shoulda done the big 3 but oh well, as for the oil change im gonna do it ever 1k miles? or is it 5k? it comes with 17" stock scion rims, all the optioons there trying to give me were crap... $600 for a Bazooka system... come on now... LOL plus all this crap there trying to upsell. But ill get pics soon hopefully by sat or sun

Im wondering, what kind of amps? and subs? and speakers? should i be getting..

Good ones.

Conventional wisdom normally says 3 months/ 3000 miles, whichever comes first. Dependant on your driving habits and newer motor oil technology (the synthetics and such) can extend that interval.

Nice re: the rims. I saw an option list for the tC when it was first introduced ~ saw that Bazooka system option //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif as well as an option for blue neons all throughout the car or something like that. Toyota product so probably a solid car but they've gone a bit overboard targeting the options list to the compact tuner market, methinks.
