The 2011 Scion TC have 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine uses the latest lightweight technology, with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), roller rocker arms and a variable-induction intake manifold system that changes the length of the air-intake pipe to supply more torque on demand. Both transmissions are new for 2011 Scion TC, with a 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual replacing the antiquated 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual. We preferred the manual gearbox because the automatic doesn’t offer a sport mode.
Other improvements the 2011 Scion TC has over the 2010 previous-generation model include bigger brakes and wheels, with 18-inch alloys standard, and electric power steering. There’s a reclining and flat-folding 60/40 rear seat, steering wheel with audio controls, and a 300-watt eight-speaker sound system borrowed from big sister Lexus.
Surprisingly, Bluetooth is only available as a dealer-installed accessory. The 2011 Scion TC suspension is MacPherson strut front and double-wishbone rear, and it’s firm enough for everyday driving, the ride comfortable without being soft. The new Scion TC has a wider track and wider tires; also a wider turning circle, 37.4 feet from 36.1 feet. The speed-sensing electric power steering replaces the old hydraulic system, saving pumps, pulleys and fluid.
