we all talk about adding more power on the cars but the toyota has taken the "economy" route instead of "power" that's why a lot of people love these cars 'coz of the gas mileage. i'm very happy with my stick 1NZ, it's all show but no go. i totally agree with david....it needs another dome light and lumbar support adjustments.

totally forgot about the paint!!....I don't think the paint is bad quality...but the paint job sucks. I blame the crappy paint job on the clear coat...I really don't even think I have clear coat on my rs3. When I wax it after giving it a bath it's really tacky and sticky while I'm rubbing the wax in. The rs3 paint also has a bling to it with the gold metal flake that's in it and you don't even see that until you get the wax on it...I think that it would always be visible if the clear coat was better. Just my 2 cents and experience.

I cant complain really about my tC. There's not much Toyota could've done better. But I feel obligated to register my desire for it to be rear wheel drive. :D

my only complaint is they should give an available LSD for the tC great car but the wheel hop is horrible. Oh and just take your tC to the dealership if it rattles they are aware of this problem and are working to fix it

I would give the tC a third door like they have on some trucks and iirc the rx-8. I carry around alot of bigger people with me and getting intot he back seat is a pita. the room once back there is just fine though.
