I live where it snows a little every winter but not a ton. I do have an AWD vehicle if it does snow alot. How is passenger space, fuel economy, interior features, and what do you think is the coolest feature?

Its good one.. …. for more details on scion please visit http//www.customcovers.com
I live in Saint Cloud, Minnesota and it snows a lot there too (5 Months). I own a 2005 Scion TC, and i have to say i have no trouble at all driving in the snow, you wont get stuck in the snow and you wont have the engine dying out either.
The passenger space on the TC is better than any other coupe you will ever drive. It has front bucket seats, which are really comfortable, and the rear seats are very ergonomic and spacious with more than enough leg room to fit a 6 foot person. Fold the rear seats and the hatchback will become a mini van for storage.
Fuel economy is also very good. On the highway you will average about 27-31, and in the city it will be about 20-24. And best thing about the Tc is that you don’t need to use premium gas so that will save you a ton of money.
The interior on the TC is extremely well built, and you will get features that you find only on cars that are 10,000 more expensive. It has a very good pioneer audio system by default and the bass quality is really good. It has all auto features, power sun roof, moon roof, MP3, WMA, CD Player with AUX plug in (on the newer models). The build quality is also very good.
The coolest feature about the TC is its performance and the good looks. Even though it has 170 HP, it acceleration is better than most other cars (because the car is very light). It is plenty powerful, and you wont have to think twice about accelerating and changing lanes at 5th gear. It will do 0-60 in about 6.5-7.5 seconds, depending on your shifting. The TC is also an extremely good looking car. Get a rear lip or pedestal spoiler that will make it look more better. The front head lamps on the tc have the characteristic BMW eye look and the car instantly stands out. The TC also has a very stiff sport suspension and its fun to drive on winding roads.
Best of all, its a Toyota and therefore its very reliable.
Its a rattle box and the interior makes more weird noises than a high school garage band. The interior HVAC lights are prone to burn out as well as some sensor in the oh-so-cool panaramic roof. The fuel economy is not as good as advertisded even with “sensible” driving. The interior seams have more gaps than acceptable, the faux aluminum trim easily scratches, and the manual transmission has a clunky gear box and clutch.
Its a nice looking car though.
i think it is a very sporty and cool lookin car but the gas mileage isnt the greatest.
try this…
hope i helped
