Hey everyone Im new here. I just bought a new silver tC today. I must say that I love it. Its a quick little car. Fun to drive... As far as the brakes I dont think they are too bad. Better than anything ive had before (93 civic ex). Is there anything I should look out for in the first couple thousand miles that might go wrong?

 

really all i can think of is the car sometimes becomes tierd from running all the time, but good sleep and lota water should fix that

 

congrats! i just got mines too! too page i have a term paper due! arGH!

 

hehe~ i just got mine today... it is in Azure Pearl MT...
um... in fact... i didn't know how to drive a stick~ XD so... start to learn now~ i know it's going to be fun!
ar..... too bad that i have to go to school 2morrow... :'( and a physics test on the day after that... ><"
can't wait till i can drive that tC~ XD

 

congrats! i've had a few civics in my time too.. stock, must say i like the tC a lot better.

the only problem i've had is when driving off of a steep driveway at an angle.. i've heard my moonroof creaking/flexing.. it made a popping sound once, that kind of freaked me out, but nothing other than that.

 

Welcome

 

Congrats and welcome....

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats on the purchase!

it's come up several times before!

Welcome to the forums!!

 

Congrats

I am eagerly awaiting mine to come in. So for now I in envy. Enjoy your new toy!

 

I just cant wait to start modding this biatch. My civic was hooked up, I changed the engine in it myself and until recently i loved it but it got hit a few months ago.

One other thing that I LOVE about this car compared to the civic is teh torque, I down____ so much less with this car going around turns and uphills compared to the civic because of that nice 2.4 liter.

 

hey is it just me or there are quite a few people switching from Civic to tC? waz up with that (just curious).

 

welcome...

 

anyone think that the pedals r too close? i accidently hit the gas + brakes while going to the freeway on ramp. Which made my mom kinda ____ed at me. hehe

 

Im starting to notice that too. Weird!

 

It just takes some getting use to. I did the same thing the first week I owned my car. I would always hit the gas while braking, but you get use to it.

 

The pedals do take a while to get used to, yes. I wear size 16 shoes so it's even more of an adventure. The other thing I wasn't used to at first was the clutch. I've always owned manuals and it was a nice change to actually have a clutch that grabs.

As for upgrading, I went from a 93 Integra LS and a 94 Jeep Wrangler to my Scion.

 

wow, nice way to revive a thread older than dirt! LOL

 

O Wow..and I was going to welcome him too..but it seems like he should welcome me since i joined later than he did.
