Bought it new in August '09. Obsessively maintained since day 1. Mobil 1 Full synthetic oil since the first oil change. Royal purple gear oil at 50,000 miles.
Just did motor oil (at 3,000 miles same as always) a few weeks ago. Cleaned air filter and the MAF sensor. Also swapped the gear oil (2nd time in 90k mi) a few weeks ago on the same day as motor oil.
Car is beautiful and was tastefully modified. Transmission shifts smoothly every time. Clutch still grabs hard. Car has operated perfectly every time I went to start it.
Never been stranded anywhere. Starts up fast. Car sounds amazing. Turns heads everywhere, but never been hassled by the Police about it. Has a deep smooth tone with no rasp.
Was worth the extra money for a nice sounding exhaust. OEM cats and resonators still attached, car is inspection friendly.
This car is fun and fast. On the backroads, it keeps up with much faster cars. Pulls hard on the highway too due to short gearing, but the twists and turns are where this car shines.
Gets great MPGs (26-30) if you can resist not romping on it.
90,500 miles seems like a lot, but when maintained properly these motors will go forever. Most damage to cars with high miles is done by the aging process. Rubber oxidizes and becomes brittle,
metal rusts etc.
All 4 rotors and brake pads replaced at 82,000 miles.
This car is young still. Zero rust. All the rubber hoses and bushings are pristine and like new.
No accidents ever. Some cosmetic work done after taking hail damage in 2011.
New spark plugs at 60k when car went in for a tune up.
Fuel treatment performed regularly for healthy flowing injectors.
Often I am asked what kind of car it is. Have been confused for Evo, Audi, Subaru etc.
I have all the stock/oem parts if you would prefer to revert back to stock. ex- OEM Exhaust, OEM Air box, OEM Front grills, OEM springs.
This car is one of the most passenger friendly coupes ever. PLENTY of room for people in the back. Back seats recline. Plenty of trunk space as well.
LOUD stereo that came with the car. 190W Pioneer with 6" subwoofer under panel in the trunk.
Car has never had ANY mechanical problems. Only time the check engine came on was due to gas cap not being clicked 3 times. New gas cap installed days ago to ensure perfect seal.
Very very safe car all around, 5 star ratings and such.
Excellent car to learn manual trans on.

Clear "Winjet" corner fog lights - $100
Lo-Beams are 8000k HIDs and Fog lights are 3000k HIDs - $150

Tein S-Tech Lowering springs $200 - Professionally installed by Tarrytown Auto
Car almost NEVER scrapes. Perfect amount of drop. Wheels look perfectly tucked. Stiffer ride than stock provides a performance increase and helps you really feel the road.
Lower car = Lower center of gravity = Higher lateral G's while cornering!
Weapon R: Secret Weapon Short Ram Intake $260
Tanabe Medallion Concept - G Exhaust $400
De-badged the rear by replacing trunk hatch handle with a de-badged version. (FYI tc trunk/hatch handles break easily. It is a known design flaw. Mine started to break so I replaced it.) - $80
TRD Billet Aluminum Oil Cap
Black Billet Aluminum TRD Badge
OEM wheels are painted Matte Black with "Plasti Dip" They look amazing.
Front tires are brand new from a few weeks ago. W Rated Westlake SV308 VERY VERY GRIPPY
Rear tires are Nankang NS-1 from last fall. 65% tread left. H Rated. Also very grippy.
Running lights, interior dome lights, reverse lights and license plate lights are all LEDs. Rear turn signals also LEDs. Corner markers in front came with clear bulb, replaced it with amber for deeper orange/amber glow.

The Bad:
Small dent on passenger door from a passenger opening it carelessly and allowing it to hit a nearby cars mirror. You have to look for it to find it. Nobody notices.
Some small areas of curb rash on wheels, but unnoticeable due to Plasti Dip paint.
Somehow the door handles got a bit scraped up. To this day I don't know how. . . All of this is very minor stuff.

Scion shows tC Release Series 9.0, Giants fans rejoyce
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The timing is perfect. Really, Scion couldn't have done any better, unveiling the latest member of the Scion tC Release Series - number 9.0, a stylish black-and-orange looker - barely a day after the San Francisco Giants, whose color scheme is black and orange, won the World Series. Also, one day before Halloween.
The Scion's well-timed color scheme is the product of Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs. The company's styling treatment also includes the custom body kit and orange seatbelts.
The Release 9.0's two main performance enhancements include a center-exit exhaust and TRD lowering springs. Beyond that, though, the changes are largely aesthetic. Black wheels, accents and badges round out the exterior changes, while the cabin features orange contrast stitching on the steering wheel and seats and orange paint on the dash and shifter surround.
Toyota adds 1.6m cars to Takata inflator recall list
Tue, May 24 2016As part of the Takata airbag inflator recall expansion announced by NHTSA earlier this month, Toyota has listed an additional 1.6 million cars that will need to have inflators or airbag assemblies replaced. This brings the total of recalled Toyota, Scion, and Lexus vehicles to 4.73 million. Other automakers will announce their expanded recall lists this week as well. This round of recalls affects some but not all vehicles with the following model names and years: 2009–2011 Toyota Corolla and Matrix 2006–2011 Toyota Yaris 2010–2011 Toyota 4Runner 2011 Toyota Sienna 2008–2011 Scion xB 2007–2011 Lexus ES 2010–2011 Lexus GX 2006–2011 Lexus IS To see if your specific vehicle falls under recall, write down your VIN and go to toyota.com/recall; you can also check any recalls, Takata or otherwise, at safercar.gov/vin. Toyota will inform owners of affected vehicles by mail. Depending on the model, either the inflator or the entire airbag assembly will have to be replaced. Due to the number of vehicles that have already been recalled, it may take some time for the necessary parts to be available. A total of 11 deaths have been attributed to the faulty Takata inflators, and federal investigators now know why the parts are prone to failure. The state of Hawaii was the first to sue the auto supplier, with more states expected to follow. The 17 other automakers are required to announce their additions resulting from the May 4 expansion this week, so expect more of the 35 to 40 million vehicles to be listed soon.

Scion exec admits brand has too many dealerships, may contract network
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Despite being conceived by corporate giant Toyota, Scion painstakingly built its reputation on being something of an offbeat, youth-minded brand, working hard to establish individualist, almost hipster-like credentials. So it comes as something of a surprise to hear WardsAuto report that Scion has a whopping 1,000 dealers across America - just 200 fewer than Toyota itself. This, despite a much smaller product portfolio and a sliver of the sales volume.
All those factors may explain why Bill Fay, US group vice president for Toyota, is admitting to the industry publication that its dealer network "might actually go down a little bit." As it stands, the volume end of the equation is probably an even bigger incentive - Scion's sales are way down from the salad days of the mid-2000s, when the brand had fewer models but sold more of them. With the (then) white-hot xB and tC models, Scion shifted 173,034 units in 2006, while Ward's notes the marque's 2013 sales are only at 41,261 units through July. In the story, AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan observes that other low-volume brands have far fewer dealer points, noting that Mini has just 115 dealer points and Infiniti has 200. By Sullivan's estimate, he would expect to see 350-500 Scion stores based on its sales figures.
Dealer question aside, the bigger issue is where the brand goes from here, and Fay admits Toyota is studying a number of different strategies, including possibly going "small-premium." Nothing is finalized, though according to Ward's, Fay discounts the idea that the FR-S - the brand's sales bright spot - will drive the brand to consider a more driver-oriented lineup.
