Default My tC experience so far....

I got my white tC from Longo Scion right before the July 4th weekend. There were no hassles at the dealership and I was out in 2 hours. I then spent the whole weekend showing off the car to friends and family. No more showing off for a while cuz I'm sick of sounding like a Scion salesperson Someone walked up to the tC during the evening and started to look at it real close, until he realized that I was in the car. Both of us scared the **** out of each other.

It does fit four comfortably and there were plenty of legroom in the back. The engine is Camry smooth (obviously) and passing cars is not a problem anymore on the Interstate. Took me a day to get used to the feel of the pedal and brakes without feeling awkward. My previous car is a current gen Civic and the tC is more sure-footed around corners and do not roll or sway. Of course, that's probably because of the new 17" tires more than anything else. I feel like I'm drowning in torque when comparing it to the Civic

The one complaint I have is something that some have mentioned before, the loud noises caused by the glass roof when going over dips and speedbumps. Loud pops and snaps can be heard when going over those dips and bumps while turning. This does not happen when you're going over those bumps while driving straight ahead.

The tC is not a small nimble coupe but more like the G35, as a touring car.

If you see a white tC with a Mashimaro buckled in the back seat in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles, that's me.

Congrats. Wish they could figure out the snap, crackle, and pop. Probably will be a dead issue for me as I usually am going deaf due to the stereo sound.
