Found this on the front page of Yahoo.
Scion tC is rated the top car for a college student. Thats why everyone sees so many on campus.

Forget the sexy Corvette convertible. If one car says "young adult" more than any other, it’s the practical Scion tC.



That's because the sporty little coupe has the market's highest percentage of college-age buyers, according to market-research firm J.D. Power and Associates. A whopping 24% of all tCs are sold to those aged 18-22, and it’s likely more are actually driven by this age group, thanks to generous parents footing the bill.

 

haha i was just logging onto here to post this. you beat me by 2 minutes.

 

ha i posted this as well but i saw this so i deleted my post...ha

 

honest to god the only reason i decided to keep my car is cause im heading to college i figure as much as i dislike the automatic it will be perfect for college.

 

Woah, I noticed that to. +1 For the tC ^_^

 

Or some of us buy our own with no help...

 

Geeze, wish my parents had footed the bill.

 

ill 2nd that.

 

An affordable college car : D well for me at least.

 

its a little tooo good for students...i see em everywhere...

 

so true. i got mine for college and everytime i pull up to the student parking lot, every other car in there is a tC

 

best college car is a jeep CJ, 4WD in winter, and a vert in the summer!

 

haha, but there really aint much of a backseat if you know what i mean.

 

I agree in some ways. It is a fun car that is fairly inexpensive, but I'm planning on selling mine when I go off to college next year. There's just no way I can afford a monthly payment and an apartment or dorm without working so much that I fall behind in school.

 

haha college is the exact reason why i chose to buy a new car. I just happened to choose the TC over a wrx because i wanted a new car so that i could commute from the bay to UC Davis weekly. Saved a ton of money buying the tC instead, sacrificing power for money and reliability.

College here i come.

 

I know what you mean I had to have me thumb slighty torn off to pay off this car...I love settlements .

Yeah I truely thought no one would have this car going back to school last year...I was dead wrong, but I guess I can't complain because they have good tastes too.

 

Mommy, daddy, please pay for my scion....uhhh ahaha yeah right

 

pfft, backseats suck.. and thats for 15 year olds that need to go park somewhere to get away from mom and dad..

you are in college, you have a room, if you have a roomate, trust me by about 2 months in you will be humping in his presence as if he wasnt there at all

 

oh me and my roommate heard about that happening and we agreed we wouldnt do that unless we were ____ drunk hahahha. that is so ****d up

 

at first i was a bit appauled, but after a while it just becomes funny, besides sometimes you get to join the fun if she has a friend she can call for you haha oh man i wanna go baaaackkk
