TC youth delivers the goods - San Leandro times


Inspired by the concept designed by Calty Scion FUSE, the new 2011 Scion tC project a bolder, more aggressive stance. - By Steve Schaefer-San Leandro times - Scion, Toyota youth brand, has existed since 2004. At that time, two square hatchbacks of the mark have received new bodies and positioning, but the tC bestseller has languished. Well, by 2011, that's history.The CT is called a coupé, but it really is a three-door liftback. It reminds of the popular technically Toyota Celica in the 70 and 80 years. The viability of cargo transportation of identity combined with a sports fastback configuration is a good match, and it is good to have it available again.


I am particularly pleased that the new six-speed manual transmission in my black test car. A six-speed automatic is also available and you will probably be sold new ECT in the United States most recently, a seller of another brand of youth told me that almost all the cars sold are delivered without a clutch pedal. Automatic today's wonderful and paddle Shift make instant gear easy changes, but I think that automatic controllers lack none of something. You decide.The CT is the most powerful car of Scion, with a four of 2.5 litres turning 180 horsepower, up to 19 model last year and 173 lb - ft of torque, up to 11. Ton and a half car feels strong through the arts; and, while it is not a rocket, be it certainly is not any car modest economy. The electric power steering offers a clear picture, and four ring disc brakes will lower the car quickly to a stop.


Fuel economy numbers are a pleasant 23 city, 31 Highway and average of 26. I personally averaged 25.9 mpg - making this official number remarkably accurate. Guide the EPA Green vehicle awards the car with a 6 by air pollution and greenhouse gases. It is good enough for the State of the processes, but it is not the highest number available for a small cup. However, it is stronger than the cars that have better numbers, so you have to choose 180 horses where you want in the spectrum of green energy.


Scion designers use concept car of fuses for the study of California as a model for the style of the new tC. It is more effectively slightly sharp edge that more gently with the previous tC style, but not to justice for car photos. A simple face is the correct attitude of Scion: cool, collected and focused, not smiling as a Mazda or repenting as some other sports coupes. The side window pointed out not is great rear visibility but it makes a statement which is retro and different from the current situation. Court in lower side panels add visual acuity.


Inside, the cabin has indicators of bold and marked with a lot of silver accents. There is a similarity to the previous model and the extra-budgetary resources box, a horizontal position and solid quality which is reassuring in a car. As the face of the car, it is simple: no nonsense and it feels right when you're on the road.Despite the horizontal linearity of interior, there are a lot of circles as well as the indicators. For example, the console flows down in a basis of circular transmission and speakers door round, stacked grave and acute, mid-level fill the front of each door. The thick steering wheel, leather lining is a flat-bottomed, giving more space for the legs, but also an unusual feeling when it is turning while driving through corners.


The lining of the Black roof and pillars help create a sober atmosphere inside. The surfaces are detailed well but are mostly of hard plastic, something common in cars at lower prices and a staple of Scion from the first day. The design and the line are what they are doing working here.Be a car of youth, the tC comes with a powerful audio system. You'll get eight speakers and 300 Watts standard, with a USB port for iPod too. An optional Alpine system is available, and both systems offer the SSP system: processing of sound of Scion - which provides three preset equalizer.


The aim is to only a fitted model leader of Scion. All TCs come with Windows, locks and mirrors. There is a roof of panoramic glass with power tilt and slide and dual manual sunshades. You can also get the entry without remote key to control, air conditioning and cruise control. A display of multiple information offers travel and fuel economy information. The car takes a handsome 18-inch alloy wheels.The price for the single model of tC is modest - only $18,275 for $19,275 for automatic and manual equipped car. Add $720 for delivery and you have an affordable car that offers goods.It is an old axiom that they can not sell to a young old man car, but that can no doubt do the opposite. The Scion brand was created to offer cheap car, sports with an attitude and a cool image. This "greatest guy" had a great week with the new tC.
