If you've been searching for a sporty, driver-focused coupe that delivers genuine fun without breaking the bank, this 2016 Scion tC Hatchback Coupe for sale at T & D Auto Group in Fresno, CA deserves your full attention. With just 38,948 miles on the odometer and a crisp 6-speed manual transmission, this tC is the kind of find that doesn't come around often — low mileage, strong value, and a driving experience that reminds you why you loved cars in the first place.About This 2016 Scion tC Hatchback Coupe The 2016 model year holds a special significance for tC enthusiasts: it was the final production year for the tC before Scion was discontinued by Toyota. That makes this particular car a collector-worthy example of one of the most beloved affordable sport coupes of its era. At 38,948 miles, this tC is barely broken in — well below average for a vehicle of this age — and represents a rare opportunity to own a late-production example in what is almost certainly very clean condition. Priced at $18,999, it sits in a sweet spot for buyers who want genuine sport coupe character without the depreciation hit of a brand-new vehicle.2016 Scion tC Performance and Engine Under the hood, the 2016 Scion tC is powered by a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine — a responsive, naturally aspirated unit that produces around 179 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. What truly sets this example apart is the 6-speed manual transmission, which is increasingly rare in today's market. The manual gearbox keeps the driver connected to the road in a way that no automatic can replicate, and it's one of the main reasons enthusiasts specifically seek out the tC over other compact coupes. The front-wheel-drive layout is predictable and confidence-inspiring, especially on the straight, sun-baked roads around Fresno and the wider San Joaquin Valley. Whether you're commuting down Shaw Avenue, heading up into the Sierra Nevada foothills on the weekends, or cruising Highway 99, the tC's powertrain is tuned for driving engagement rather than just transportation.Scion tC Features and Interior The tC Hatchback Coupe body style is one of the most practical sports coupes ever produced. The panoramic moonroof — a signature tC feature — floods the cabin with natural light and gives the interior an airy, open feel that's unusual for a car this size. The rear hatch design adds a surprising amount of cargo flexibility for a coupe, making it genuinely usable as a daily driver. Inside, expect supportive sport bucket seats up front, a driver-focused cockpit layout, and controls that are intuitive and logically placed. The 2016 model received Scion's standard infotainment setup with Pioneer audio integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and a touchscreen interface — technology that still holds up well in everyday use. USB and aux connectivity, steering wheel audio controls, and a sport-tuned suspension round out a package that punches well above its price class.Scion tC Reliability and Ownership The tC's reputation for reliability is one of its strongest selling points, and it stems directly from its Toyota DNA. The 2AR-FE 2.5-liter engine that powers the tC is shared with several Toyota vehicles and has an excellent long-term track record. Owners consistently report that routine maintenance — oil changes, brake pads, tires — is about all the tC demands. The manual transmission is a robust unit with no significant failure patterns reported, and because many tC owners are driving enthusiasts who care for their cars properly, finding a well-maintained example like this one is very achievable. At under 39,000 miles, this tC has the majority of its mechanical life still ahead of it. Repairs are straightforward and parts are widely available given the Toyota parts-sharing across the platform, which keeps ownership costs low over time.Why Buy From T & D Auto Group in Fresno, CA T & D Auto Group is an independent dealership loca
