Scion tC? Please guys, I really need help!?

Alright, here's the deal. I'm 16. I really want a scion tC. Now, I don't have the money to buy one right now. But, at my current income, if i save up for a year, I could buy one. The plan is to take my dads car when I actually get my license(currently have a permit). So I see no need to go out and spend a few grand right now to buy a car when I could just take my dads for free in a few months. So my plan is to save up for a year, then buy a tC. Now, do you guys think that the car is worth it? I know it's made by Toyota, so the quality is def. good, it's gotta be reliable. And I heard it's pretty peppy sporting a 160 hp and 160 lbs ft trq. So like I said, does this sound like a good idea? Thanks to all who answer. Also, post your opinion on the tC. If you own one, tell me what it's like. Thanks!!
