The good: The 2011 Scion tC presents a stylish exterior, and it is easy to upgrade the cabin electronics. iPod integration comes standard.
The bad: The Bluetooth phone system is nearly Stone Age in its features, and the audio system destroys mids and highs.
The bottom line: The 2011 Scion tC's tech, both cabin and drive train, lags behind similarly priced competition, but the car is a solid platform to upgrade.
2011 Scion tC
Pros: great specs, great styling, very masculine, nice wheels, nice audio, sexy and thick steering wheel.
free maintenance program.
pure price, easy ordering through the web, place the order and just wait for the delivery, no hassle.
Cons: few blind spots due to thick pillars
a bit plastic-ky on the interior
single back up light, very unique and funny
cargo cover and signature floor mats come extra.
Summary: I have it for 5 months. Great car, very smooth transmission. If you like a smooth ride, this one is NOT for you. You will feel every bit of the roads which I like it. It will also cost you if you hit potholes. You would also take good care
Pros: Best bang for the buck. $19,000 gives you 180hp engine with 6spd tranny, 18in alloys, traction/stability control, great stereo, dual sunroof and many more.
Cons: Doesn't have a Ferrari engine and it's not free.
Summary: When is CNET going to have people that aren't ignorant of cars make a review.

Very smooth cruising ride along PCH with open sunroof.
Audio is also premium with very easy interface. I fit all my songs into one single USB memory stick the size of a penny. You don't even know it is there. I don't have to use my iPod or iPhone, even-though for Pandora, I just plug in my iPhone, no problem.
If you compare the specs in conjunction with the price, you would agree, a review is just a review, it doesn't mean anything until you drive one.
