Best Reason to Buy the Scion tC: Exterior styling
Although a first-generation tC, it still looks "current". Panoramic moonroof is a nice standard feature. Stock 17" rims are very nice for a car in this price class.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Scion tC: Powertrain performance
5-speed manual is geared very low, which is great for low-end torque, kills fuel economy on the highway (that has been remedied by the 2nd gen tC's 6-speed manual)

Other Reasons to Buy the Scion tC: Rear seat room & comfort, Cargo capacity & towing, Tires, Materials & workmanship

Best Reason to Buy the Scion tC: Rear seat room & comfort
A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time.

Quick turning ratio, and handles perfect when trying to avoid things

Best Reason to Buy the Scion tC: Powertrain performance
The 2.4 liter 4 has decent torque as well as more than 20HP more than the Civic; it was one of few cars in its price class that would smoke the tires (the dealer may not appreciate this test method)
