The 2011 Scion tC for buyers
No 2011 Scion tC is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2011 Scion tC in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the tC
NHTSA has 29 owner complaints on file, mostly about exterior lighting, service brakes and visibility. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
It uses the 2.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 9.3 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 28 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $43.26 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the tC suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the tC
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the tC first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the tC is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
