hi!
i recently watched a video of scotty about one of these and it looks like a perfect car, not huge, toyota reliability and a strong powertrain
unfortunately i dont live in the us...
so i cannot get my hands on one.
can anyone give me suggestions about similar cars? (reliable, small enough, N/A, super reliable
Depending on the year you are looking at, the Scion tC is based on the Toyota MC platform, or the Toyota New MC platform. Many Toyota's, Lexus's and Scions share this platform.
The tC closest cousin would be the Toyota Avensis.
What country are you in?
Israel, the toyota avensis is alot larger than the tc, at least for the last decade, and they only come to israel with a 1.8 liter engine with cvt and its a lowsy combo
Some other options to consider, based not he Toyota MC platform are: Celica, Caldina, Blade/Auris, Matrix, Corolla, Verso, Voltz. Not sure if they have these cars there. Hope this helps!
auris, corolla, verso are available, and only comes with 1.6L 130 hp and crappy cvt
im not fixated for toyota but the tc really represents everything you could want in a car that is not available in here (strong N/A engine, not too big, super reliable)
I don’t think you will find anything comparable to the tC in Israel. It’s a very unique vehicle.
any other strong no turbo cars you can recommend? with good reliablity
Unfortunately, the tC is an amazing one of a kind vehicle. There is nothing else like it.
Nothing compares to its size (not too big, not too small), power (not underpowered, not overpowered), and transmission (not a CVT). And of course, with Toyota reliability.
If you find something to your standards, let us know.
Honda Civic, Hyundai Veloster.
Get a Civic. It's close enough. The Hyundai will throw out head gaskets like no tomorrow.
they are no close to the tc in terms of power, we have the older 1.8 140 hp or the newer 1.5 turbo earthdreams....
i really want something reliable as the tc, and yeah the velosters are crap
It’s a 4 cylinder 2 door Toyota. Can you get a corolla or camry/solara coupe?
i live in israel. i dont really know the solara car we dont have it here, corolla and camry have really crappy and boring powertrains, we barely have selection compared to the us that you can chose between 3 transmissions and about 3 engines lol its so depressing, the corolla comes ONLY with 1.6L 130 hp with a crappy cvt, the camry comes only as hybrid for the last 12 years, not much of a driver's car...


Toyota Avensis?
Also the Honda Civic Coupe

we dont have avensis coupe in israel, and not the civic coupe as well, we have 4 dour avensis which is really big and only comes with a crappy powertrain 1.8 liter and cvt, civics are also crappy in here not much to choose, only 4 door sedan, either 1.8 140 hp or 1.5 turbo earthdreams
Try to find vehicles from the same platform:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MC_platform
we have some of these here, camry, avensis, rav 4, corolla, verso
every single one of them comes with a shitty cvt and small engines, none of them are actuall intended drives car like the tc with its 2.5L engine
even the camry and rav 4 only comes as hybrid the last decade and they really suck
I guess there is the HYundai Veloster/Tiburan/Coupe do you have those? The problem is that they are piles of junk but that is the only other thing I could think of. The Scion TC is very similar to the Toyota Avensis. The interior of the TC is basically identical to that of the 2014 Toyota Corolla L, but thats a 128 horsepower 4 speed automatic combo... Good luck
we barely have hyundai coupes and the are really shitty and heavly abused, all toyotas comes to this country are shitty and meant for old people
the only drivers cars in here are luxury cars which is really terrible that i need to spent a bunch of money for an abused bmw or volvo which are also unreliable, or the shitty Seat cars (VW owned company)
that have powerful turbo engines but as we know vw makes bad quality cars that dont last, they also are heavily abused...
damn there are no good options
Yeah we have those, they're a little expensive and pretty big, from 2008 they are almost 4.8M
before they were 4.65 meter which is also large, and they only come with honda's 2.0L 5 speed automatic, and its not exactly sporty or reasonably fast with 10.5 seconds 0-60...
Thats US small car size, same size as Chevy Cruze, Honda Civic...
The Acura TSX is considered "compact" here and 0-60 around 6-7 seconds
with N/A 2.0?
we dont have turbocharged accords only the N/A 2.0 155 hp and its old and slow
or you could just use the bus
k good night its an hour past midnight where i am will check out the forum tomorrow;)
2.4 NA and NA V6 280 horsepower engines
They don't offer these in here, only personal imported ones
anyone
