well i backed out of getting a hatch due to having my last one stolen i dont want to go threw the same crap (San Diego if famous for stealing of Civics or Accords...atleast it is here)

and i was lookin for a good used car and came 2 these 2 cars

01 A4 comes with 67k miles and a clean body....its also the 1.8 quattroT which i guess is an upside....clean leather interior and even comes with a 10" W7 and a 500/1 haha so thats always an upside

the 05 TC on the other hand comes with 46k miles custom blue paint and a nice sound system also....Lambo Doors and a new suspension, headers, intake, and intake manifold....

never owned either brand of car and was wondering what everyone thinks of these 2 cars.......bad or good experiences wanted

Audi is a much nicer car but the 1.8t engine is so so at best, will be reliable but isn't very powerful... TC is a ricer especially with lambos and the ricer exhaust.

Audi is a luxury car that can be driven "spiritedly" if u really want to, where as the TC basically is ricer at its core. This is apples to oranges to be honest.

All lies in what ur looking to drive at this point of your life. Only downside of the Audi is replacing parts which is the most expensive of the 3 big German automakers. TC is toyota owned so prices should be relatively cheap.

I had a tC as my last car. Its a cheap car, but has a lot of potential. But get rid of the lambo doors.

I was into hooking it up and had a bodykit and everything higher end. Nice system in the back and had fun with it. Stock I don't like them, but hooked up they can be nice.

Post a picture of the tC. How much is it going for?

Oh,I guess I didn't answer in my post....I say Audi as well!!

The 1.8 motor is slow as balls from the factory, so get a chip ASAP! At 67k, the timing belt should have been done 7k ago. Be sure to check on that. If it hasn't been replaced, factor that into your price, because it can be expensive if you can't do it yourself. I love my a4, so I say go with the audi.

i say audi because i almost traded in my G6 for one. but i wanna get this car payed down a little more so i wont be upside down in my payments. and chip the hell out of that A4 like the other guy said. i drove one and its a fun ride. but we all like fun dont we?

TC is not a ricer car, I guess you never seen clean modded ones? Anyways 01 body style im not a fan of, just my taste lol. If its an 02-07,then ill say audi over TC.

audi for sure. tc's are lame as hell, especially next to an audi

plus if you flip the tc you're pretty much stuck inside praying it doesnt catch fire.

anyone remember that old thread of the severely crashed and flipped lambo that caught fire? shit was graphic

Here was my tC. If you want something you can hook up and get LOUD with a system. Its good for that:

I went through about 4 systems in it.

So many possibilities for systems!!
