Default Things that annoy on the tC so far

If you close say the passenger side vents, and turn the air on high, the driver side vents tend to move a bit.

When you at night and you have the lights on, the bottom storage on the center waterfall, the light stays on. Haven't seen anyway to turn it off.

Maybe the fit and finish isn't that great at all...

Drivers seatbelt rubs a little on the neck

Door handles too far forward, making it akward to get in and out.

If this is a bad as the complaints are going to get, you will all be fine.

That light staying on may be a feature, I haven't even been able to sit in one yet so I couldn't tell you. If you don't like it, just dig in there and pull out the bulb.

I like the light in the center stack....you could even change the bulb to match the interior lighting kits available.....would be nice mood lighting!

Yeah dude, color it with a colored Sharpie. It looks cool in Amber like the dash lights.

My only complaint is that under hard acceleration, I chirp the tires shifting into third gear.

I dunno about chirping 3rd - these cars need a little break in. Too early for that. I got mine yesterday and the only thing that really concerns me is the whole waterfall. You gotta be careful b/c it seems like it can scratch very very easily. I dunno. I love it.

How about the fact that NO ONE can tell me approximately when mine will be here?!?!?!?!?!?! I hear stories of dealerships ALL ACROSS the country getting their customers orders .... but no one here locally can even tell me an ESTIMATE on when the car will get in! I ordered it on June 11th btw! So we're closing in on the month mark ... my trade in is loosing value by the day! ERG!!! Impatiently waiting!

The fact i have a 4 inch scratch by my door it was my fault though (i think) because my cell phone rubbed against it earlyier yesterday, im going to try to buff it out, i have another scratch on the back side right by the moon roof i dont know how that one got there, and i got little scratches on the front bumper, from drivning home i guess had the car about a day lol, IMO i dont think this paint is going to hold up. Hey i also noticed this, when u turn the ac on high and it gets really cold there is dew all around the vents, is this normal??

as far as the ac goes, my dads sequioa does this. when the ac is on, the air gets dense and water vapor increases. as it's blowing out the water vapor will collect on the vents until it starts to puddle up. take it as a sign that the ac is working just fine.

Four inch scratches, ouch, on my Black Cherry tC, I found one pencil-tip sized ding (prob from my gravel alley, yes a gravel alley in this day and age, lol), and I was ____ed, lol!!! The Black Cherry picks up dirt easily, but otherwise, I am and will always "baby" this car as it's my first real "new" car!! I love this thing, and if I EVER get a scratch that big, it's back to the dealership to get it out, it's Worth it!!!

Yeah, I guess it doesn't annoy me.

The one thing that does annoy me though is all the mid 80's Preludes out there that pull up next to me with their lame body kits and spinner hubcaps. Then they try to play.

I show em the tC emblem on the trunklid.
