overall the tC is a nice car and pretty fun to drive.... aside from the RPM's hanging around between shifts..... not a problem if youre buying an auto.

oh wow... it has the rev hang problem too? i wonder if maybe enough people complain about it and maybe scion can have a reflash done for the rev hang problem. i know that 06 SI have this problem too and they have the reflash for it to fix the problem.
what other things you hate about the car? lets keep the aftermarket problems out of here for now. im just more curious about what you have about the car.. ie. the glass from the sunroof that might shatter if it gets hit by a pebble or something. or maybe the car can come with a stiffer suspension.

yes, for the enthusiast crowd, I think the suspension should have been stiffer. But the car wasnt meant to be thrown around corners so.......

also, i think the engine idle is kinda loud, sound like a bad timing belt or something.
i have a 2007 scion tc. is that normal?
you can hear it in the car, but if u stand outside, u can hear it ticking or something.. no too bad tho

i hate how there is no manual hatch release.
say you only hit the unlock button once to open your doors then your in the car with the key in the ignition listening to your music playing with the stereo. then you decide you need to go in the trunk to make an adjustment on your amp you have to take the key out of the ignition and hit the unlock button again to unlock the hatch. it's not a huge deal but it kinda ____es me off.

No, you can unlock the hatch with the unlock button in the 07, I have one and it works fine.

i hate the:
1- rattle from the hatch area
2- missing manual hatch release from the back ( i have to run to front door and hit unlock again)
3- look at the mounts for your sun visors...why am i staring at a silver screw head?? that should be capped.
4- my knee hurts...the way i drive in the automatic, my left knee kind of slops to the side to rest on the door. only it lines up perfectly with the chrome looking circle at the bottom of the door handle. rest your knee on that hard piece of plastic for a while and it is a major pain. completely non-functional stupid ring. but hey, it looks cool.
5 - missing extra light in the hatch area. the one on the left side isn't bright enough in the dark
6 - missing light in glovebox
7- the light they included, under the cubby is useless, annoying and can't be dimmed
8 - cheap ___ cruise control 'stick'. i hate sticks. it should be on the steering wheel controls, like on my nissan.
i'm sure i will come up with more tomorrow

It's a difficult question. I don't hate anything on my tC. I would've gotten a different color interior, if it was an option.
I don't like black interior.
