Post safety regarding the 06 tC

how safe are Scion tCs? I know that the company is generally new, so have there been any real problems with the tCs since they've come out?

Scion is like Lexus, another division of toyota, so you cab bet it's as safe as any other lexus/toyota. It's kind of like a camry or solara, the engine is tuned a bit differently which is reflected by the dip is gas mileage when compared to the I4 camry

Re: safety regarding the 06 tC

5 star driver crash rating
4 star passenger rating
4 star front side rating
4 star rear side rating
4 star rollover rating

lexus-like safety. there have been people who rolled their tc's over and walked away without any injuries.

btw: the mileage varies because the transmission differs from the camry: shorter gear ratio's.
