3. As we ponder that, there are still some reasons to choose the
front-wheel-drive 2014 Scion tC—like ride quality, or features
for the money. And as if in admission of the New Kid on the
Block, Scion has dialed the tC up for 2014 with “more
assertive styling.” With the current generation notchback
coupe already buffed-up and chunkier in appearance over
the previous, softer hatchback, this model was already far
from subtle. But with LED accent lighting and taillamps, new
upper- and lower grille treatments, new headlamps, and a
blacked-out lower rear valance—plus new 18-inch dark-
gray-finish alloy wheels—the 2014 tC does keep its look
assertive, if a bit overwrought and high-shouldered. Inside,
the design carries over, with enough design nuance where it
counts, in the cut-tube gauges and M&M-shaped climate
controls, but the big news is that Scion has upgraded all the
materials, with lighter-colored fabrics.

5. There's nothing significantly new under the hood for 2014,
but the tC remains a solid performer. The 2.5-liter four-
cylinder engine, making 179 horsepower and 173 pound-
feet of torque, is paired with a six-speed manual
transmission or six-speed automatic and can get to 60 mph
in 7.6 seconds with the manual or 8.3 seconds with the
automatic—this year adding downshift rev-blipping. The
electric power steering feels good, as do the big all-disc
brakes, and ride quality's obviously a priority, as the big 18-
inch wheels and tires don't make things too harsh. For 2014,
Scion does claim to have increased body rigidity and
made “modifications to stabilizer bar hardware.” We'll
update you later on exactly what that means.

8. Value for money has been one of the major selling points for
the tC; for less than $20k, it includes things like power
windows, locks, and mirrors; cruise control; steering-wheel
audio controls; and a sunroof. For 2014 the tC becomes the
first model in the Scion family to get Display Audio systems,
with a 6.1-inch touch screen, HD Radio, and built-in Bluetooth
hands-free calling and audio-streaming capability. In
addition there will be an upgrade BeSpoke Premium audio
system with Aha smartphone connectivity for integrated
Internet radio. 2014 Scion tC shoppers, as before, have plenty
of aftermarket appearance and performance upgrade
possibilities available through the dealership. There's also a
new Scion 10 Series model, in a special color, Silver Ignition,
with details like silver seat belts, an LED-illuminated Scion
badge, and sequential badging, plus LED running lamps,
dual automatic climate control, and push-button start.
