Default Actual tC versus video/pictures of tC

Is it me or does everyone else feel that the actual tC looks better "in person" than mag. or internet pictures/TV ads? I was really surprised (nicely I might add) when I actually saw the tC in person. It is a much better looking car than I thought it was going to be.

Also the FM and Cherry are the only ones I have seen in person and both are very nice looking.

Yeah I can definately agree that the tC looks a LOT better in person. You just don't see the sparkle in the paint in the pictures and the shape of the car is sort of deceiving when you look at it in magazines or pictures. I was actually going to buy a Mazda 3 until I heard that "Test Drive a tC" was coming to Orlando and even though I couldn't test drive it myself since I'm under 21, it renewed my interest in the tC. Once I was able to test drive one myself at a dealership, I instantly fell in love with it. I reserved my Black Sand Pearl tC that day.

Yep, I think the tC is much nicer in person too. Also, I was really impressed when I actually saw the tC in a color other than silver streak because it was hard to visualize what it would look like in person in those colors. The Indigo Ink and Black Cherry Pearls that I saw were stunning. -Jayme

Default Pictures vs. Person

The tC looks awesome in pictures, but the real thing is truly amazing.

I had to buy one as soon as I sat inside of it.

Yeah, it's kind of weird that way. Usually they try to make the cars look nicer than it actually is when advertising it. Either the ads suck or this car really does present itself better in person.

Definitely. I was all set on the xB but waited to see the tC first, and it was love at first sight.
