The Scion tC presents compact coupe shoppers with a stylish alternative to traditional choices in its class. Although the Scion tC looks sportier than it actually drives, it rewards buyers with a large interior that includes a usable rear seat. The tC is reasonably fuel efficient, too, thanks to the use of a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that can be counted on to provide 179 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque, along with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
