fears about the tC.....
Name at least one thing you are affraid of about this car (the car itself or the conditions it may encounter). i'll start....
- Hail storm (im sure the put a coating on the glass do it doesnt shatter but it'll still chip and crack

I'm afraid that the front grill will look as generic in real life as it does in photos. Here is my worst case scenario, badge removed for emphasis

Something about the top grill just doesn't look right. The Volvo S40 or any Audi look similar, but they're done correctly.
I love the view from every other angle, though.

yea it looks like a lot of different cars I think thats a reason why some people like it... the only thing I'm afraid of is that there won't be many performance parts for awhile to use on it...or any mods period minus the ones from scion like the exhaust and strut bar.
-Not enough head room
-Reliability problems (not up to Toyota Standards)
-Storage room
-Blind spot
-Stock Stereo not good enough (might need to replace sooner then expected)
I think those problems will be ok, but I am most worried about:
-Not being able to get one soon enough :D

I agree with poster on the stock stereo. I am hoping it is good enough and not spend extra $ on amp/speakers. But then I have a Corrolla now which is great but nothing spectacular like the tC.
This car might be too good to be true. All the reviews have been A-/B+ and there are so many standard features. This is way I am picking the tC over the Mazda 3.

I was considering purchasing the Mazda3 as well, but there are lots of issues popping up. Here are the ones that concern me the most:
-Weak A/C unit
-Excessive rear break dust/grooves forming in break rotors
-Sunroof water leak
-Squealing breaks

- That panoramic moonroof...all that glass worry me if it gets cracked and needs to be replaced. Also, although we have heard countless times that it is made with the most advance gaskets & sealing, I can't help but worry about leaking...
- Stereo sound quality...I don't care much about how loud it is but I do care about how good it sounds...
- Interior fabric quality: I wanted to get leather but that is not an option so I hope that the quality of the seats are better then average.

I think this thread was just about voicing legitimate reservations about the car...I can't spot one person whining here. I am starting to notice that some here can't tell the difference between someone being honest and someone just _____ing...

I'm afraid that the Black Cherry Pearl won't look as good in person as it does in pictures. I like it, but others in my dealership remember when it was a Lexus color, and they have less-than-fond memories.
