5 reasons to buy the 2015 Scion tC
1. Sports car styling
The 2015 Scion tC seats five with 88.4 cu-ft of passenger space, but delivers an eye-catching shape that would be right at home on a high-performance sports car. With aggressive headlights and clear LED taillights, the tC looks like it means business. Add stylish standard 18-inch wheels, plus seven fun colors to look out for, and you can't go wrong with the sporty and fun 2015 Scion tC.
2. Quick acceleration
The 2015 tC isn't just a pretty face. It has a standard 2.5L inline-four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower that is good for 7.3 seconds to 60 mph (with manual transmission). The standard six-speed manual means that you can find just the right gear coming out of your favorite back-road turn. If rowing your own gears isn't your thing, look for the optional six-speed automatic that features a cool rev-matching downshift that blips the throttle to keep you right in the powerband.
3. Balanced performance
Sure, the 2015 tC is quick, but that's not the end of the story when it comes to performance. The 2015 tC also gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway (26 mpg combined) with either the automatic or the manual transmission.
4. Tech features
Your 2015 tC's critical details and settings are displayed on a 6.1-inch touchscreen and you'll also get standard Bluetooth® connectivity, a USB port, and even iPod® integration. Keep an eye out for the standard Pioneer® sound system or the optional BeSpoke® system. The upgraded system not only adds navigation but also includes Aha™ smartphone integration to let you play your audio and even connect to your favorite social media services.
5. Versatile options
Scion was known for making unique creations that would stand out in a crowd. Take a peek at the 2015 tC's options and accessories list and you'll find one on our lots that expresses your individuality.
