i do like the glass roof, but its still nothing compared to the si.. I did months of being on both forums before i even drove either one.. And fyi... the civic is also kind of a chick car too, but just not as ghey looking.. has a better body mold

i just see alot more high school schicks driving the tc around here

Wrx wagon or sedan is what I would pick. You can get an 04/05 for around 17k...maybe less. Might even be able to get an 02/03 STi for that price as well. Just be careful when buying a car like the wrx/sti used.

I like the Tc to a point. It was a short point though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif My friend has one and I was beating him everytime we lined up. Then the fawker went and put in a supercharger and now he wins everytime, but isnt by much. I think it was a waste of dough if you ask me.

I can understand that. To that point, and for the OP too,

Find a good balance between what is a smart purchase and what you like.

I love the looks and features on the tC, and I'm fed up with no-warranty cars. Factor in depreciation, TCO, modding fun, subwoofer space, mpg, and you have a winner, be it a civic or or an escort. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i agree, the tC could use some more power, but im not really lookin for a top performer...i would love a cobra but its just not in my price range. i was also reading reviews and things from tc owners...on scionlife.com theres a thread called "what do u hate about ur tc"....thats what led me to making this thread. about 99% of them said the paint is thin and scratches really easy. what do you think of yours Cybe? pics? i noticed in ur sig u have the BSP as well:yumyum:

tc's only have 1 engine option?

YES ONLY THE 4 CYLINDER AND YOU CAN ADD THE FACTORY SUPERCHARGER,BUT IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY FOR ABOUT 40 HP.

how much boost does that sc give? 5lbs?

smaller pulley and a new tune for more power.

I got quoted almost 8 grand a year insurance for a WRX

2700 for my 3
