So i Test Drove the New TC..

Well the other day was my day and i wasnt going to let anything get in the way of me test driving the New tc:

Heres my review

The 2.4 ltr 160hp 16 valve vvi motor is the ****, man pick up on that car kicks a$$ and the car i test drove was an auto. The peddle responce was is unblveable to say the least, I mashed on it and that bad boy went, Gear shifting in the auto was smooth, i couldnt tell when the gears actually changed thats how smooth it was...It took some time to get use to the instrament cluster, its not like the vic where its all in one houseing...

As for the room sh^t there is so much leg room for the driver and pass area, and rear passengers sh^t its like two of the civic bench seats in the rear...passengers would not be all scrunched up in the rear and there knees will not be in the drivers and passengers backs that for sure...you could probly fit two more people on the floor (foot area) if you wanted to.

The Tc i drove had the upgraded leather package and man was it nice, this car has all the makings of a luxury car..it also had the bazooka bass tube in
the rear and the sound was awsome. man way to hook up a ride. as for the hatch area...well thats good enough to put 2 15's in there ...lol..fo a little more bumps...

Stock ride was smooth but they always are when you first buy them...that OEm kit was ok.. i think it looks better in there advertisements...but hay who needs the oem when your going to have a wide body kit comeing out after SEMA...ha...

Toyota was also advertiseing there turbo charger kit for the car...they were boasting about the 200 hp after the kit was installed...man 200 hp strait from the dealer...wow...and thats not with there Exahust and intake system which they provide as well..

Im in love

really, hmmm...you have to remember your driving a stock car, not lowerd and no performance up grades...so ya its going to be different from your lowerd raced out vic...the same went for your vic when you first got it...unless you bought it used and it came that way...really the trick here is try and invision how these mods are going to make the car perform later on down the line... when you have upgraded....but really for what you get and how much you pay for it man you can go wrong...next month the supersharger come out...that going to be a factory item...just with that one mode on the car...it puts out as much torq and if not more Hp then the RSX...and for cheaper...

The large displancement makes a huge difference in around town driving doesn't it.

Miss driving my 1990 Toyota pickup with the tough as nails 2.4 liter R22.

most ppl on here cant afford the RSX and thats why there driving the vic...but for almost the same amount of money if not less you can get even closer to that kinda HP while still being affordable...you know..thats the name of the game here.....

whats the base cost on an 05 RSX...NONE S then compair that to the scion bone stock...15,500..but you still get the 160 hp ...do the math... I dont know man...the scion is looking really tempting
