I can't stand the bright red, but I'll take the Absolute Yellow.

It was 18.5k without tax and registration and stuff. I added the 6 CD changer.

The SE comes with the rims, individually numbered badging, door sill enhancements, upper and lower grille enhancement, color tuned strut bar, badged mats.

There's more info at Scion Website

In another word, you get 18" wheels instead of 17".

I don't know. It was listed as a two door hatchback car. I'm paying $130 a month for full coverage.

Yay! I love red cars... my last car was red :(

Black is nice color (one of my coworkers has a nice black tC and my Talon is black) but OMGWTFBBQ, you breathe on it wrong and it's dirty.

I like the grills but no fog/driving lamps? Those Enkei rims looks great with the car though that ultra-low profile is probably going to suck for ride comfort... not to mention Enkei doesn't have the greatest rep for making strong wheels *Mitsubishi COUGH*

I didn't think the fog lights were worth it. I don't really like where they install them. The car has been riding well so far. Planning to get some springs and drop it a little. Still deciding on that though.

It is true! With new cars, you want them to always look good and shine! It does get dirty fast. What's worst is that each time I have the car wash, it will bloody rain the next day. Oh well, can't fight nature.

I sat in a tC when I was looking to buy a car. Eventually ended up getting a Accord Coupe v6, with everything.

The Scion felt incredibly cheap and uncomfortable. The tray that slid underneath the sun roof was paper thin and would eventually crack, I was sure of it. The dash felt cheap. The whole car just felt like it would fall apart. It's nice for a first car for a college student if under like, 14k, but otherwise it's not worth it.
