Arrow Drove a tC the other night....

I actually liked it a lot. It was fun to drive and it seemed a little more peppier than my Si. My only two complaints were that I felt like I was driving to high because of the way the seats are and also the bad understeer (some springs/strut bars will help take care of that ). Other than that I was very impressed with it....even the ride was nice on those 45 sidewalls. For the price and what the car comes with, its a hell of a deal (even over the civic im sad to say). For those who dont know, the tC's motor and tranny are the same as the 4 cylinder camry. I plan on getting one of these for my next car and boosting it for sure.

why not just get supercharger? agreed they are nice cars. If I cant find a 2000 si to supercharge as my next car, I might go the tc route.

wait a secound, you paid 24k for a tc? who the hell would to that, i mean wtf? you could have gotten a new rsx type s for that much, a way better car, faster, looks better, handles better, and its not a crappy toyota( i used to have an 02 celica and toyota has the worst service in the world, not to mention tons of crap breaks all the time), or you could have got the wrx, srt4, the 2005 jetta 1.8t GLI, why a car with the sluggish camry engine? you paid to much.

Crappy toyota? its more reliable then Honda...

i dont like the Rsx, i Think its ugly, Every car u listed, i think is Ugly...

The Tc handles Really well.... i got the spring's, Strut's. Thing corners like its on Rail's...might be Just ok Stock, But with al lthe add on's This thing is hot..

i picked the TC mostly Due to look's, As i said before, i dont care for a Fast car, i just wanted something Quick, and faster then my 03 Civic...

im really excited about Getting this.....

i would never drive a Jetta, i would Never drive a Fast neon, and the WRX is not my style...

160 horsepower is plenty for me

Exclamation

24k for a tC... you paid 8g's worth the options

let's see, for 24k... i could get a

o5 RSX-s
o6 Eclipse GT
o5 SRT4
o5 WRX
o5 350z
o5 Chevy Cobalt SS
o5 Ford Mustang
o5 Subaru Legacy
o6 Audi A3

Vehicle less than 24k, that will light up a tC..

SpecV
Ralliart
Tibby
Celica GTS
Focus SVT

Maaaaan, you better hope you don't catch a red light with these cars, they'll make you regret paying 24k for a tC.

lol ****in lay off him

he got the car he wanted and he had the money to get it, if he would have wanted any of those other cars he would have bought it

like i was thinking about getting one (also thought about corolla XRS) but i have to drive 25 miles to school (25mi there, 25mi back) and the tc gets some crappy gas mileage somehow (well it does clock in at 3000 pounds), and yea the toyota salespeople were some ****in unknowledgable pieces o *****. like i knew more about the cars they sold then they did, AND I DONT WORK THERE EVERYDAY

so ya that was a turn off to toyotas

but ya, enjoy the new ride!
