Default *Decision Made* Should I Trade..

My 2007 Scion tC 5 Spd for a Honda Civic Si 6 spd?
Ive really been considering it.
I dont know why I didnt even look at Honda's before I bought my tC.
I think it was because I started working for Toyota.. hmm...

PS. If I did get the Civic it might be the Sedan... lol. I like them both...

i would trade a tc for an SI...theres like a 40hp difference between them, but too bad the new gen civic are kinda ugly if you are trading it for a 2007 si

How long have you had your tC for? Have you researched how much the insurance would go up by (if any)?

Default what about gas?

Also remember the Si takes premium gas, and I don't know about you, but gas here just hit 2.94 for regular.

Not worth it. I was between the Si and the tC. I had a 2000si when I was deciding. The new gen is just too bubbly for me (like a Ford ZX2 and an Accord mated)and I hated the interior, the extra cost, and the higher insurance. Would have liked the 6spd and the extra ponys though.

go and test drive one, see if you like it considerably more than your tc. also take into account the difference in insurance and the fact that you will be ousted from the scion community by turning to the dark side...or light side...or whatever we are and our polar opposite is, which is honda...well, not polar opposite, but direct rival auto manufacturer...

and when you test drive, make sure you get vtech to kick in.

As stated, definately test drive it, give the motor a little work out and then you'll definately see why K20>2AZ, and Honda manual > Toyota manual. If I were you, I would trade. But trade in value for the tC kind of sucks so maybe private party.... I'll be doing that next year.
