From what you've seen, whether it's thru pictures or in real life, what do you guys think?

I really like it, it's a verry intriguing car with the combination of style/performance/specs/price.

I'd been waiting for the NAIAS to decide the car to buy, I'm in the market for a sporty compact under 20K, and up to last week, I had decided that a Mazda3 would be my next car, now with the tC, I don't know, at least I'm gonna wait until I test drive a tC to make mi decision between the two.

I hate to be rude bro.....but there are already a gazzillion topics about this very subject....look around or do a search

again dont want to sound rude

True to the topic thing. But I will take this opportunity to say that I such want a s/c tC. Mucho gusto.
