Do you do any colour correction in your scanning/post processing ? That was my biggest downfall in my process. I'm still working on it, but I'm now very happy with my colour images.
Scan -> raw -> Lightroom -> Photoshop + ColorPerfect -> Lightroom -> Export
ColorPerfect isn't cheap but so very worth it...

Do you do any colour correction in your scanning/post processing ?
Yes.
But: I do not "believe in" setting neutral (grey) points, as this oftentimes creates images that are "correct" but actually they're not, as there's almost always tints in real life.
So I often do it by feel.
Which basically is a dumb idea, as I have a form of red-green blindness that makes me miss (not see) subtle red or green tints.
Sometimes I know the image has a colour cast, but I don't mind.
To be honest often I'm not sure how the fuck non-red green blind people see it.

German drugstore chain "dm" now stock both 200 and 400 iso of Agfa Vista Plus - alas only rolls of 24.. fuckers!
While on the topic - I feel I have to correct myself as I kept stating that Vista is basically good for poppin' primary colours, and not able to handle subtle tones well..
Just saw this pic on flickr that made me realize the film is capable of more than I thought (in other words my scanning still sucks apparently) -
