I understand that this is NOT a good place to sample data like that but I am just surprised at the complaints.

Here in Canada, Scion is mated with Toyota dealerships so we don't have standalone Scion dealerships like you do in the US. So the same guy that our family has been buying Toyotas from (4 Corollas in 7 years!) will also be the same guy selling us a FRS (if I pull the trigger) - same applies for the dealership mechanics and parts department. The reason for this is that our Lexus dealerships were always mated with Toyota dealerships but when Toyota Canada finally hit the critical mass for Lexus customer base, they split Lexus off on their own and pushed in the Scion dealerships in their spot.

Is the Scion "experience" in the US that much different than in Canada? In Canada, it is essentially buying a Toyota with a funny looking badge. It isn't really that special.

MODS: The reason I posted this here under general Scion thread is because I would like more input from the US based Scion customers than in Canada.

for sure

they got 2 years free service as well as events hosted by Scion

we got.... nothing
