Default tC is the car for college students!

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.

Yahoo Link


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.

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.

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.
