I disagree that the target market is teens, when most buyers are not teens since mosty could not afford a new car anyways.

It is a Scion because it does not have the reliablity of a Toyota.
It is a new platform more or less with a new engine with no history. Consumer Reports rates it low in reliability. Maybe next year it will be improved after working out the bugs.

And i am in the same boat, i wanted something nice looking, affordable and low cost maintenance.

Different trims of the engine will solve this! My wish: a trim with a 2.5 displacement with a better engine compression ratio, making more turbo/tuner friendly and 250hp w/ 230trq.


I hope i didn't come off as rude, it wasn't my attention!
