I was considering the tC as well and was set to buy it as my next car. Under $17,000 fully loaded. What more could you want. I liked the styling as well. Then I went to get my Celica serviced and while I was waiting, I sat in the silver tC they had in the showroom. The interior is cheap cheap cheap. The car has good fit. The doors give a resounding thump when closed. But the inside ... just is so cheap. Then I realized something. How did I expect a car that had that much, for that price, to be good at everything. Nothing is free. So that just got knocked off my list.
