Ok! Now this is one bangin car! Yesterday I had the opportunity to test drive a Scion tc against a Honda Civic, Kia Forte, and Mazda 3 at the Portland Meadows Raceway. I have to say that objectively, the Scion tc stood head and shoulders above the other three. The Kia's transmission was sluggish so that each time I punched the accelerator there was a split second before the gears engaged to put the car in motion. That was annoying. The Mazda was a good car. In fact, it was my second choice. It had excellent acceleration, but it didn't handle as tightly as the Scion tc. As for the Civic, it was my last choice. I didn't like the way it looked and it felt cramped inside to my 6 foot 3 220 lb body.
Now the Scion tc is a delighful car. I saw the five speed version with the beautiful cement color and 300 watt stereo system. It had 19 inch custom wheels and the newly designed front to back features a much sportier look. I know the Scion is marketed for the 25 age bracket, but with 180 HP and 2.4 DOHC engine, I can see myself crusing comfortably along in one of those hot models!!
