Scion tC

While not exciting, the Scion tC is a well-rounded, competitively priced coupe with a lot of standard equipment. It's also one of the few coupes out there with a usable back seat. Ride quality is relatively comfortable and quiet. Handling is sound, but not really sporty. Acceleration, shift quality, and fuel economy are commendable. Side- and curtain airbags are standard. But the lack of stability control and unimpressive IIHS crash test results diminish safety, especially for a car likely to be owned by younger drivers.
