2012 Scion tC Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 2dr Hatch 180-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time. see full Scion tC review
