The 2015 Scion tC: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2015 Scion tC; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2015 Scion tC, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 22 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 9.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 27 litres. That works out to about $14.11 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the tC on your commute, then decide. If the tC is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the tC tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2015 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.11 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
