btw, the tC has a camry engine. Short gear ratio + TRD S/C or a Turbo Kit = r0x.
Civic sucks.

Civic = gutless bitch. That thing has no low-end torque and the engine is buzzy as hell. Not to mention that the tC comes loaded with features.

I drive a 2000 CIVIC Ex and I'd have to agree. My car is reliable but that's about it. Slow as hell and kinda crude.

I like the tC
cool cars

haha, btw, i just got my $50 gift certificate from toyota financing for my scion tC. what should I buy with it? I don't even have my tC anymore. Hmm...

tC has more hp, more performance, more room, better warranty, and costs less. Only drawback in the gas milegage.

 

[OS]

the engine they use in the TC is pretty good, broad powerband. 4 cylinders have come a long way.

Linked. The supercharger looks nice.

Scion tC for sure.

Why?
1. It has a LOT more torque then the honda.
2. Disc brakes front and back
3. Independant suspension
4. it has more cup holders
5. It offers a decent amount more hiproom


That being said, I don't like either one of those cars, though the Scion tC is the lesser of two evils.

The civic has independent suspension.

Civic hands down

When did Control-Link MacPherson Strut and Reactive-Link Double Wishbone become known as Independent?

Slower, smaller, less features, crappy 15" wheels, buzzy/peaky engine, rear drum brakes, more expensive? The tC is basically a European market Toyota Avensis made into a 3-door hatchback for the American market.

Yeah, hands down alright:roll:

God damn there's a bunch of dumbf*cks on ATOT.

Why the hell I even bother posting is beyond me.

i'd take the scion tC cus civics have no torque but they avergage about 8MPG more highway so u pick but i like the look of the Scion tC better and its faster and i think the new Civics are ugly

Scion tC: 2.4L
160HP @ 5700 RPM
163FT/LB @ 4000 RPM

Honda Civic EX: 1.7L
127HP @ 6300 RPM
114FT/LB @ 4800 RPM

are those specs worth losing 8MPG????? i think so but it's your choice

 

[JDub02]

no comparison .. unless you want uber-gas mileage, go with the scion. a friend has one and they're pretty nice. pimp ride on a budget.

the Tc is supposed to be a small car, so if your a bigger guy its gunna be hard to fit into it, was it NFS4 saying he hit his head on the ceiling?

MIKE

Im 6'3" and I fit fine in mine.

I keep reading that the tC is cheaper than the civic yet offers better options. all pricing I have seen indicates the scion is more expensive. Where are you guys getting your prices from? Amazon's cars section is offering the EX for $15200 and offering a base tC (which does include similar options and sometimes better - like 17" alloys) for $16200)

 

[edro]

The Scion definitely has more appeal for performance and style... but there is something about them that make me think that one day they will become the future Hyundai / Kia equivalent.

 

[StageLeft]

Why are people still buying this generation of civic and paying as much for it as they are? God.

 

[Plasdom]

^know of it cheaper anywhere?

Because everybody rants and raves about their Hondas and Consumer Reports is constantly fellating them.

 

[Amused]

Scion tC without a second thought. Best bang for the buck car on the market today.

 

[Malfeas]

Scion Tc, and that's the final word.....................

A scion tc will get you laid before a civic ex, think with your little head not your big one.

 

[Raduque]

tC! It's just plain pretty. Plus, you can get a factory supercharge for it later that bolts right on and is even covered under the warranty.

If I had my way, though, I'd take your budget, throw in an extra 10-15k and get an Acura TL.....(Or 300C )
