So I have had my 2007super white tC for about 2 months now with 3500 on the clock and I have been enjoying it I only bought it for DAILY driving period, I told myself no more car modding when i first got it just after having my two previous cars which was a modded 96 BMW 328is and boosted 99 315whp Civic Si... Well today I was on the highway comming home from my medical class and im enjoying the decent weather and not before too long here comes the two high school kids in there RICED Dseries civic coupe, just totally done up wrong! Im sure u know what I mean.. Dont get me wrong some of those civics have nice potential and then theres the ___ ones with everything done wrong... Well hes wanting to race me and im like wow... Im feeling like "why is he wanting to race me"? Im in a stock tC theres nothing "special race car like" about my car its not a go fast car... So im like ok what the hay Ive never really got to open it up before anyhow soo I play with him and before I know it im just pulling on him haha.. and I began to think that the tC is actually a pretty nice car with lots of possibilities to do things to it, and some exhaust systems sounds sweet and some upgraded wheels and suspension wouldnt be a bad thing to get soo now im more in with the tC family and im liking it sorry i had to blab away but I have no one else to tell its just a good feeling I couldnt go on my Euro forums and post this it just wouldnt be the same! take care and I look forward to the future with these tC's

 

its a fun car
its not fast, but fun to drive
i haven't done much to my car but i love everything that i did and it looks beautiful

 

Sweet!... Yah Im looking forward to it...

 

everyone says our car isnt fast, but i think its pretty fast. what other car under 18000 dollars can compete with the tC.
the tC smokes the hell outta my old celica

 

ya my tC walks all over my bros 95 Celica peice of cake!

 

and mazda3s

 

tCs can hold their own. I don't know of many 4 cylinders (at least that aren't upgraded) that are faster. It's not super fast, but it is quick (like a bunny!!!) and fun! mmmm. Ya ... Mazda 3s = sloooooooow. Even with the 2.3L engine. I mean, it practically IS a Ford.

 

Yah, I have wait to get some nice wheels on it and maybe a lip kit, tint the windows, It sounds like the magnaflow exuast sounds sweet might have to look into that

 

HaHa..yea thats why I wont get a Mazda cuz they are FORDS!!!!!...
The MazdaSpeed 3 is cool though!!..Its a FORD!!!!....lol

After Upgrading my Suspension, Tires, Exhaust & Intake...
DAMN its a FUN car to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought I wasn't going to mod my tC...now it is turbo charged

 

I can think of a couple 4 bangers that are quicker but also in a different class too so it's not a fair comparison.

Man..based off what this entire forum has to say about the TC I'm practically sold on it.

 

welcome to the money pit..... be prepared to cut lunches short so you can save up for a CAI, ask for headers for your birthday, and springs for christmas.....
i hope you dont have a GF cause she could get in the way of your turbocharger..and we just cant have that

 

My fiance hates my tC!!!

It's always, "when are you going to buy me soemthing instead of spending money on that stupid car"

 

^^^ werd my sorta gf is always breaking my chops about my car thats why shes my "Sorta" gf lol but back to dangerranger yea the tC is great for what it is but if i were you stick to the "not modding" part you know already considering your previous cars you know that they are money pits especially a car like this one

 

Just remember that your car will never _____ at you about anything....

 

Yeah I wasn't gonna mod mine either. I told myself I've been there, done that, don't need to do it again. ...I just dropped a grand on mods last month and rims are next.
It's a fun car.

 

if i had $, would put turbo... if i had $...

 

i love tcs, just because they are easy to mess with and look expensive lol

 

oh man amen... thats how i feel... no woman can come between a man and his car

 

so true!
i lost a girlfriend once because i paid more attention to my scion that her
