Default Possible New Owner of TC......

Ok First off I wanna say I owned a 2002 Mazda Protege5(Yellow). It had only 32000 miles on it. My Mazda was completed modded out with everything except turbo so I dumped so big money into it. I just sold it for 9500.00 today.

I am now looking for a new car. I think I really like the TC. I have yet to drive one so I will be doing that this week. What I wanna hear from you guys is every reason possible why I should buy a TC. I am still looking at other cars to buy. I am even looking at used 01 or 02 BMW or Mercedes Benz cars.

So start posting to me why I should feel confident in buying a TC. I just wanna make sure these cars don't have any bad issues with them.

BMW would put you in a higher class and you would have 6 cylinder power. But the car would be in the shop too often.
For the price, nothing really comes to close to the tC in terms of comforts and features. The tC is not a fast car but can be made to be a quick car. From the factory, IMO the car rides like a non sporty car with a sporty car like 5 speed manual gear ratio.
If youre looking for a more focused car, try to get a dealer to sell you a RSX-S cheap or get a used 1.

I'd stay away from any Mercedes made before 1995, aka any cool model. Reliability is horrible.

Go drive the tC and you'll probably be a big fan. Plus, if you're coming off of modding, you'll have much more fun with the tC than modding a Bimmer or Merc.

Why would you buy a used Benz or BMW when you can buy a brand new tc? I mean, It doesn't make sense to me. New car = reliability knowing you've been the only person drving it. Used= not knowing if the previous owner tortured the car. Also, my friend bought a used BMW and his bills are mounting up quick(Oil Changes, tune-ups, premium gas) The TC is a great car for its value. Look passed the small rattles and the car is flwaless.
