Scion's third model is an attractive, coupe-styled hatchback. While the first two Scion models offer value, unique styling, and customization for younger buyers, the tC is the first to offer some decent performance credentials. For around 16k, the tc offers 160hp, a five-speed manual, 17" alloy wheels, and some decent 215/45R17 tires. Also available for the tc, is the dealer-installed TRD-developed supercharger that takes the horsepower up to 200.
