Default tc exterior dimensions

To help everyone get a hands on feel of the tc, think of an 03 or 04 Corolla. The tc will be 5" shorter in length bumper to bumper than the current Corolla. Now, widen the Corolla 2" and drop the roofline of the Corolla by 3". Whats your imagination tell you?

Nothing, because I have no way of visualizing the Corolla I don't own or haven't been in.

Sweet!!! I have a corolla now.......as soon as I get a look at the TC in person I will see if I should get it or not.............I so hate the fact that even if I lower my corolla I will still look as if it is setting wayyy too high

got a better comparison... same length, same heigth, 2 inches wider than a 4 door 3 series...

wheelbase is within 1.5 inches, but the wheels are obviously pushed further back in the car... I'd guess that the weight balance is shifted more to the front, which is pretty standard practice for a FWD car...

much bigger than I anticipated originally, but I like the size of the 3 series, I just hate the note... :-)

Just go to www.edmunds.com and use the 'comparison' feature to see the Length and stuff compared to other cars

I think most users know the size/dimensions of the tC; however we are waiting to actually SEE and test drive the tC which no one has done yet. (unless you got to an Auto Show or special invite).

BTW, you need to put your location in on your profile. Welcome to the forum.
