I think its pretty fair... I'm 6 foot 4, and I think Im OK in my tC, but now I feel claustrophobic!

Ya... not bad. The guy just seemed fasinated by the iPod thing... which is cool, but not THAT amazing. 
I disagree with the side comments about bluetooth and nav not being offered. It's still a budget car - those are higher end features and if you really want them, you'll get them anyways. So it's not necessarily "bad."

^^^ Maybe so, but they give the car a reltviely bad score, IMO.
They should just have rated the stereo then!
And, BTW, one of the BIG items that made me go with the SCION was the iPod HU! It rules.

Anyone read their review after the video?
"Manual transmission versions can be boosted to 200hp by fitting the newly announced $3,200 supercharger from TRD. There are also rumors of a 250hp or even 300hp tC in the works."

I hope you are not really upset... because going through the cnet site, you really are bringin something to the table that people need to look into...
i think ack meant to do it all in good fun, and we do know there are turbos already, but he was kinda having you set up the pins for him to knock them down...
... watch what you type... you could get HUNTED
keep smiling! :D

disappointing to see such a low score for the tC, granted cnet is a tech site as mentioned by posters above. i'm also over 6 foot tall and have had minimal problems sitting in the rear seats. as long as there isn't an 8 foot sasquach in the seat in front of me it's usally acceptable. the reviewer made it sound like you might as well give up on rear seats all together 
d0h!

They only use three criteria:
comfort = 35%
performance = 35%
safety = 30%
No idea why they don't also consider value, as I'm sure many tC owners do. If they had factored that in, I think it'd have been >9.
