First off id like to say that ive been to many scion websites/forums and this one is my favorite. its laid out very well and has usefull info. well i bought an 06 tc about 3 months ago. it is an automatic and is a beautiful black cherry. i am happy with the car for the most part. my previous ride was a 96 eagle talon esi that my girlfriend totaled(women drivers). it was between the jetta and the tc. im happy with my decision. there is only one problem i have noticed. i live in the city of wind, chicago. actually south suburbs, but im a union bricklayer and i work in chicago all over. this is my everyday car and goes through its share of chi city traffic. i started to notice in the morning when i would leave for work, when it was cold for the first minute or two my car would not shift into overdrive. it would just rev high in third. once its warmed up it would shift fine. now in chicago we have some cold winters, but i never had this problem with my eagle. i do alot of traveling for work and i travel to oberlin ohio often to visit the my girl. ive had the car for a little over 3 months and it has nearly 9000 miles. id like to know if this is something that other owners are experiencing. does anybody know what might fix this. some may say "just let the car warm up". maybe im being critical but i think if my 96 talon that i bought in 2001 for $4000 had no problems shifting when it was cold then i think my $20,000 tc should be fine as well. thanks for your input. peace
