I like this car more and more each day.
I put the tC through the most grueling test today
Today, was a turning point for me and my views on the scion tC. I was unsure previously about whether the tC could handle foul weather and dense traffic with any type of ease. Today, I got my answer in spades. My commute spanned over 70 miles one way, in the pouring rain......on tight pot-hole filled roads in dense traffic at highway speeds.
Make no mistake from this point on, the tC and its ABS system...handling components.....tires......chassis....and other attributes are top notch indeed. I hit giant puddles at 70 mph.....no problem, had to jam on the breaks....ABS works flawlessly, had to swerve-weave-dip-tuck........and all without peril. I had off-ramps that were backed up around blind corners that required heavy off-camber breaking in the rain, NO problem at all. The chassis was perfect and I cant say enough about how much safer I feel now that Im aware of what this vehicle is really capable of in emergency maneuvers.
Congrats to everyone else who has made the seemingly obvious good decision in purchasing their own Scion tC. -t

Nice to hear everything is working so well.... not that I would worry about rain in sunny sd... pot holes on the other hand... I've battled with a few in my days.

Wow, nice to hear that the tC seems solid in the rain!
It's been raining here but nothing heavy at all. My old car used to sorta' pull to the side and get pissy when I'd hit water puddles on the interstate, and I was just waiting to see how the tC would handle them.
Thanks for the write-up!

Yep, good call.

I was just on the interestate, going my normal speed, and drove through a rainstorm that's part of the hurricane hitting the East Coast, and the tC handled it very well!
I hit the same puddle spots I always do and the car didn't feel a bit loose or out of control! It also didn't seem to pull so much in the puddles, but maybe that's because it's a bit heavier and doesn't like being pushed (or pulled) around...

Sounds pretty grueling to me, at least for a test that I'm actually willing to put my own car through.
Actually, on second thought...screw that....a 70 mile commute "in the pouring rain......on tight pot-hole filled roads in dense traffic at highway speeds" doesn't sound like something I'd want to put my car through at all....

tCrazy for posting your experience b/c that's something I DEFINITELY want to take someone's else word on (and I'm sure my tC appreciates it too)!

seriously, wait until someone tries to degrade one of your posts......its ridiculous. I agree, this drama is stupid but the kid just blurts out whatever he wants like he was in the damn car jeesh. Liz, hows your car working out for you?!?!?!Originally posted by bizzyliz@Aug 12 2004, 01:51 PM
