2006 Scion Specs
- During the turn of the new millennium, Toyota realized they were losing a share of the younger market since their brand's reputation was considered to be traditional. In 2002, Scion was established by Toyota to cater to the younger generation of auto consumers. In 2006, Scion released several models offering efficiency and versatility at a competitive price.
- The tC is a two-door coupe equipped with a 160 horsepower 2.4L I4 front engine. You can choose between a five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission. It only comes in its standard trim. The tC model offers a moonroof and an excellent Pioneer audio system as a standard. The anti-lock brake system and front air bags are also part of the base model while side curtain airbags are optional. Security options and iPod integration for the stereo can also be added. A 2006 Scion tC is valued at around $6,000 to $14,000, as of 2010, depending on the upgrades.
- The 2006 xA is a four-door subcompact hatchback equipped with a 103 horsepower 1.5L I4 engine. It's available in five-speed manual transmission and four-speed automatic transmission. Although the xA looks small in appearance, five passengers can easily fit inside the vehicle. A Pioneer audio system with mp3 CD capability also comes standard. The base model has an anti-lock brake system and front airbags. The 2006 models of the Scion xA range from $5,000 to $11,000, as of 2010, depending on upgrades.
